Roald Dahl brings his characters to life with vivid descriptions using lots interesting adjectives and expanded noun phrases.

Now it is your turn to write. Choose a character from Fantastic Mr Fox. Write a really good quality description.

Remember we need to know what they look like, how they behave, maybe even how they smell or sound. Your reader needs to have a really clear picture of them their head when they have read your description.

These sheets have some useful adjectives that you might like to use:Description-writing-frames-for characters-from-Fantastic-Mr-Fox-

Think about how you write your sentences. You should aim to use:

• adjectives
• expanded noun phrases  Espresso video and quizz      ks2-spag-knowledge-organiser-expanded-noun-phrases
• subordinating conjunctions (I SAW A WABUB)  BBC Bitesize video
• relative pronouns (who, which etc)  relative-pronouns-display-poster

If we were doing this together in class, we would spend time gathering our ideas.

So, plan some adjectives, phrases, sentences. How could you use all the things in the list above to make your writing wonderful? Rehearse them aloud. Writers draft their ideas. If you have time you can always choose another character to practise your descriptive writing about.

We are continuing with our WhiteRose Maths today

I hope you are continuing to be as enthusiastic about reading as you were when we were doing our Claverley Book Fest. Keep reading to yourself for pleasure, sharing books with your family and listening to stories.

We have Fantastic Mr Fox to focus us this week, I have been trying to upload some videos of it being read, so that you can see the text as well as listen to the story if you don’t have a copy at home. I’ll keep trying….

This text from Twinkl links to our History topic ( the Stone Age). The online version is accessible to all reading levels as it is read out. This should enable both year 3 and 4 to focus on the questions being asked.

Twinkl home learning hub  go to the Age 7-9. The Book starts on Monday. The guided reading is at the bottom of the day’s timetable. I have uploaded copy of the text here:

The present perfect is a verb form which lots of people take a little while to understand even though we use it naturally. We have have a few lessons together about this, but it continues to be important in year 5 and 6, so it is worth practising.
