Over the past couple of weeks, we’ve been building up our writing skills and we have now written a descriptive piece of writing about a robot. We began by discussing different types of vocabulary – which ones would be the most effective in descriptive work. We thought about using this vocabulary to create expanded noun phrases. This is where we use a determiner, such as the, an adjective and a noun. The children created some brilliant ENPs. We discussed different ways of starting sentences. Could we use fronted adverbials? Could we include any relative clauses?
The children have brought all their skills together to produce some amazing pieces of writing. There were some robots with jobs, such as looking after your pets when you go away. There were other robots that were evil and rather scary. Ask your child about their writing. What features did they include?
