Snowflakes (English Homework)
Children from
Class Elm were given the task of writing a description of snowflake. An
excellent example:
Snowflakes are
pale, sparkly and creamy. They are twinkling and floaty. When it is in
your hand it is cold. They fall like spinning ballet dancers from the sky. When
they are on the ground they twinkle and shine.

In literacy we have been
inventing our own dragons and describing them. We focused on the Elm-Ridge Back
and the Thunder Dragon.
The Elm Ridge-back a
rare form of dragon, which is seen across the town of Accrington.
When we were
planning our dragon we had different categories such as:
Definition, what is it
called
Description, what it
looks like
Location/habitat where
it is found
What it is best known
for
A final point or amazing
fact/issue.
After we finished our plan
we extended it using interesting vocabulary to describe the dragon very well. Words
that we liked to describe the Elm-Ridge Back included:
Rare
Tinge
Tamed
Mysterious
Beautiful
Other words in the
information text included:
Identify
Enables
Concerned
Disastrous
Words that we liked to
describe The Thunder Dragon
Lucky
Brilliant
Terrifying
Much Feared
Thunderous
Unusual
Misunderstood
Other words in the
information texts:
Recognise
Renowned
Examples of excellent
work from our information writing:
