This week, Year 1 have been busy writing character descriptions for Cyril the Squirrel from The Squirrels Who Squabbled by Rachel Bright.
The children focused on using adjectives to add more detail to their writing, making Cyril come to life with words like “cheeky”, “fluffy”, and “playful.”
They independently wrote sentences to describe Cyril, being careful to include our must dos, which are capital letters, finger spaces and full stops.
They are becoming super noun and adjective detectives!
Help at home:
- Play “I Spy” with adjectives e.g. “I spy something soft and yellow.”
- Describe favourite toys using adjectives e.g. “My teddy is cuddly and brown.”
- Read books together and spot adjectives in the text.
