English homework 12th March 2010

2010-03-11T19:31:00.002Z

Hi everyone. Next week we will be starting a fiction block of reading and writing. We will be starting a brilliant new class book called Kensuke's Kingdom by Michael Morpurgo. For homework this week would you have a go at some character description writing which you can do by visiting www.woodlands.juniors.kent.sch.uk. If you follow the links to writing stories then characters. Choose the character you would most like to write about and write a paragraph about them. Remember that authors REVEAL what their characters are like by saying what they do and say rather than just by writing what they look like. Maybe you could print your story and bring it in to
share.
Happy writing!
Mrs Carroll
