Character descriptions

 Creating characters has been the focus of our English work in the past two weeks.  We have been using the facemaker program to make funny faces and then writing descriptions to accompany them.

Story openings

Improving the openings of our stories has been our focus in English.  We have been looking at ways of 'hooking' our reader in and looked at lots of good examples by some of our favourite authors.  Then we watched a film clip which inspired us to write our own openings.  We decided to begin with either questions, action, dialogue or description.  Have a look at some of our work and come back shortly to see how we got on with writing story endings!
