I know I can do it when I can create an interesting writing piece about a picture using verbs, adjectives, nouns and adverbs.

Today we are going to create an interesting piece of writing based on the picture above.

Independent Task

Using the knowledge you have gathered this week about nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs, use the picture above to create a piece of writing.

It can be a narrative (story), description, recount (of a real event) or any other idea that you can come up with.

Remember to use full-stops, capital letters, neat handwriting and interesting word choices.

Think about including lots of adjectives and adverbs to make your writing really interesting and exciting!

Ask a grown-up to read your work when you think you are finished.
