TALK HOMEWORK

Monday 26^th November

We are continuing with our work this week on describing the settings of a story.  This week we are looking at Santa’s Grotto.

Please spend this week discussing:

*What you would see in Santa’s Grotto?

*What would you hear?

*What would you smell?

*What would you feel and touch?

The children did extremely well last week in using WOW words (adjectives) to describe the objects in the waterfall setting.  I want them this week to discuss any WOW words to describe items within Santa’s Grotto but also talk about possible similes that can be used in their descriptions e.g. the elves were as busy as bees, Rudolph’s nose was as bright as a button, as quick as lightening the elves busied themselves with their jobs, the snow fell like billions of breadcrumbs, Mrs Claus was beaming like a full moon etc.

This week’s Big Write will be assessed to see how much progress the children have made in their writing this term so the more talk the better!

Thank you so much.
