Well done to Class 3 for brainstorming excellent ideas for their setting descriptions today. The children worked on using their senses to describe settings. We looked at how we could use: sight, smell, sound and touch to write imaginative story settings. We focused on a picture of a disused tube station in London (as it currently looks), and used our senses to brainstorm ideas. We then put our ideas onto post-it notes around the picture.
An excellent start to our unit on familiar settings in literacy. Well done!
Ideas included
Sight:
I can see the dark dreary walls
Smell:
Old bonfire smells wafted all around
Touch:
I touched the hard ice-cold walls
At first I was scared
There was also hear.For example,I could hear a train coming by!
I had great fun with Glennis doing this picture.
This is mine and Glennis’s
Imagining being in that rusty train-station would actually be quite scary!
