Starters and Connectives

A big focus in Room 16 is using more interesting words to start and join sentences, as this is a way to make big improvements to our writing. Today the children used this picture as inspiration and had 10 minutes to write some descriptive sentences. The challenge was that each sentence should start in a different way and that each sentence should have a connective. Afterwards the children highlighted the words and drew up a chart to see how they had done. Reflecting on our work is a great way to see how we can improve.
