This week, the children have written a recount as if they were a Celt getting prepared for the Roman Invasion.
In their writing, the children have included:
- similes
- subordinate conjunctions (as, when, since)
- thoughts and feelings
- past tense
Here are some examples of their work.
Violet:
‘It dawned upon me that today was the day of the battle. I felt a jolt of dread like a lightening bolt strike. I knew I had to be as prepared as I possibly could be.’
Stanley:
‘Eventually, I knew it was time to go. As we crept in the shadows of the forest, we could see the Roman soldiers.’
Kiera:
‘The sun from far below the clouds glistened in the cold breeze as I slowly pulled aside my sheep skin throw. A sea of fury washed over me as I thought about the battle ahead.’
