Thursday's english

Hello Year 5 children,

For the last day of Spring term, I would like you to let your imaginations run wild and do some creative writing!  I’d like you to write a setting description for the picture below.  Make sure you use detailed description, which will involve using words such as adjectives and adverbs.  For this short write, I don’t want you to worry about writing targets but it may help to use complex sentences, similes and metaphors to make your writing more interesting.  Above all, relax and enjoy it!  Either write your descriptions in the comment box below or e-mail your writing to the usual e-mail addresses:

Have fun!
