24 Feb What’s happening in Year 5 – Week 1
This week, Year 5 are starting a new writing cycle: to write an action scene based on our class text, Percy Jackson and the Lightening Thief by Rick Riordan. In our immersion lesson, we analysed Rick Riordan’s writing to identify the techniques he uses to engage the writer, including short sentences, powerful vocabulary, descriptions that appeal to the five senses and empty words to add suspense. We will incorporate these techniques when writing our own action scenes, which we will perform and upload to Seesaw for parents and carers to watch.
