Big Writing - w/b Monday 23rd November 2020

Next week’s Big Writing is a setting description of the snowy woodland in Narnia, from ‘The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’ by C.S. Lewis.

You may find it helpful to watch a clip from the film: https://goo.gl/uGZZTX.

It would be useful if you could discuss and practise the following with your child:

· Using the word of the week, ‘flurry’

· Talking about the features of the snowy scene (swirling snowflakes, glistening icicles)

· Thinking of positional language, e.g. Underfoot, up above, nestled in the treetops, etc.

· Using similes for description, e.g. as soft as icing sugar

Thank you,
