Well done, everyone! What a great start to this half term.
This week in Writing, we’ve been using our imaginations to explore an abandoned house! Our purpose is to describe the eerie setting in detail so that an illustrator can bring it to life through artwork.
We’ve been focusing on using Expanded Noun Phrases (ENPs) to add depth and detail to our writing. You need a determiner, adjective and noun for it to be an ENP.
Think “a crumbling, ivy-covered wall” or “a broken window with jagged glass.” Our goal is to paint a picture with words!
The classes have loved getting creative and spooky with their ideas. We can’t wait to see how our setting descriptions inspire some fantastic illustrations!
In Maths, we have been counting money and converting money from pence into pounds. At home, why not count up the change that you have? You could also explore how to make different amounts of money. For example, how many ways can you make 85p?
