Writing
Next week we are beginning a new unit of writing. We are trying to improve our writing by using adventurous vocabulary. To help with your writing, use your homework time to generate some tier 2 words. Tier 2 words help you to develop your descriptions and show a more mature choice of vocabulary. e.g. Instead of ‘The painting is good’, you could say ‘The painting is a masterpiece’.
Can you generate at least 10 tier 2 words to describe this image?
Cold, snowy, icy, frosty and white are all banned!
