Adjectives add interest!

Our novel, 'The aardark who wasn't sure' is full of wonderful descriptive sentences. Gill and I have therefore tried very hard over the last two weeks to draw attention to these. 

We began by introducing our classes to nouns and adjectives and gave the children a variety of examples to do in their books. We have begun to see a change in their sentence writing. However, it will have to be something that we stress throughout the year! But we are so pleased with the results so far.

I have typed up some examples of the sentences for you to read. ( I would have loved each child to do it themselves but we just didn't have time.) I am sure that you will agree that the sentences are pretty good. Please can we ask you to continue encouraging your children when they write their sentences at home.

Special mention must go to Ebrahim. He said that he did not want to write sentences, rather, he wanted to write a story! It is just a pity that he did not have longer to write as I am sure, judging by what he has written so far, it would have been amazing! Well done!
