Lesson Details
Key learning points
- Senses help us to experience and describe the setting, in this case, the forest.
- The five senses are sight, smell, hearing, touch and taste.
- An adjective or list of 2 adjectives can describe a noun, such as "wild forest" or "noisy, chirping birds".
- Using descriptions with adjectives makes writing more interesting.
- The joining word "and" can be used to join to complete ideas into a full sentence.
Common misconception
Pupils may try to join more than two ideas using "and".
Remind pupils that "and" only likes to be used once in a sentence, joining only two ideas.
