Using adjectives to describe a setting

This week in Year 1 our English work has been focused around using adjectives to describe characters and settings. Each group was asked to create a different setting using a variety of materials, thinking carefully about what the setting looks like. Once the settings were complete, the children discussed what adjectives they could use to describe their setting, creating a list of amazing adjectives!

“The leaves rustle in the forest”- Roman
“The ice has pointy edges”- Angel
“The golden sun at the beach is warm”- Harry

I feel the school has advanced with regards to the appropriate curriculum for different age groups.

Being part of their learning – it doesn’t just stay in the classroom.”
