Describing a Monster

Sunday 14 December 2025

We have been superstar writers in year 2 this week!

As well as writing recounts, we have learning about expanded noun phrases and using them to write amazing monster character descriptions.

Inspired by the monster in ‘Not Now Bernard’ by David Mckee, we collected nouns and understand that a noun is a person, place or thing. We then made our nouns more exciting by adding adjectives to describe the noun.

We know that if we are going to use two adjectives, we need a comma to sperate them. 

Hasel is a cheerful, joyful monster. Elsie

She has long, sparkling teeth. Luna

He has scary, dangerous horns on his head. J

 

Help at home: Can your child give some examples of nouns and adjectives. Maybe they could write a description of a character of their choice.
