We are going to continue to work on improving our vocabulary and develop our ambitious vocabulary for description.
Watch this short 2min video clip about Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker.
Then choose three different characters from the ones you wrote about last week. Write some sentences about them to describe what they look like and what their personality is like. Use a thesaurus (online if needed) to improve the vocabulary that you can think of to make sure you are writing with words that will make your audience go 'wow!' Use evidence from the book you have heard so far to give reasons WHY your character is that way.
