As part of our ongoing Literacy Development with school, we are trialing a resource called “PM Writing” which focuses mainly on Non- Fiction writing. We have already been learning about Persuasive Writing, Recounts, Procedures and now we are learning about how to structure a Descriptive piece of writing.
This week our challenge was to create a character and describe how they look, act,their personality and any special talents or skills they have. We looked at our Elf names to start us off and created the characters from there. There was much hilarity as children identified their names and discussed their ideas with partners before beginning the writing process!!
Elves created showed great imagination and creativity on the part of the children. We had elves who helped Santa fit down the chimneys, elves who had glittery moustaches and even an elf who had very good dress sense and only wore Gucci !
If children had completed their writing they had the opportunity to draw their characters.
We look forward to continuing this in the week ahead by writing about an adventure on Christmas Eve!
If you want to be part of the fun find your elf name above!
