For this week’s Big Writing, we are going to be describing the Roman city of Pompeii before the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
We will be building on our historical studies of the Roman period, and using the book 'Escape from Pompeii' by Christina Balit as a stimulus.
You can find a recording of the story here: Escape from Pompeii
It would be helpful if you could discuss the following with your child in preparation for Big Writing...
1) This week’s word of the week is bustling
2) Look at the illustrations in the story and discuss what life might have been like in a busy, Roman town like Pompeii.
Any work brought from home can be used in Big Writing on Friday.
Many thanks,
Mrs Vaqueiro
