Writing

This week I would like you to practice writing sentences using exciting adjectives, alliteration and similes.

These make our writing more exciting for the reader.

Remember - an adjective describes a noun e.g. the red flower.

Alliteration is where two words start with the same letter e.g. the glittering, glowing star.

A simile compares one thing to another using the word "like" or "as" - e.g. the night sky was black like coal.  The stars twinkled like diamonds.

Go outside and describe the sky, your garden, the weather.  Come back inside and write your sentences - make sure you use adjectives, alliteration and similes.

Once you have practiced those, plan I'd like you to plan and write a story.  To be precise - what happened next in Beegu's adventures?  Where did she go next?  Who did she meet and were they friendly?  Or not?

Once you have planned your story, write it up - remember a beginning, middle and ending.  Now check and edit your work....capital letters, full stops and common exception words....!!
