Big Writing - w/b Monday 19th April 2021

 

For our first Big Writing after the Easter holidays, we will be basing our work on the opening chapter of ‘The Iron Man’ by Ted Hughes. 

You can watch an animated version of part of the story here:

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

· using the word of the week ‘thunderous’

· Talk about onomatopoeia (words that sound like their meaning) e.g. crash, pop, squelch, sizzle

· Think of positional language e.g. below, above,  beside, beyond

· Practise using simile for description e.g. as bright as the sun

 Thank you,
