Year 6 put on their investigative hats this week as they explored a range of books, searching for effective examples of descriptive language. They worked carefully to identify how authors use vivid vocabulary, similes and powerful adjectives to create clear images in the reader’s mind.

The children discussed their favourite examples and considered how descriptive language can bring characters, settings and events to life. They are looking forward to applying these techniques in their own writing, helping to make their stories and descriptions even more engaging and imaginative.
