Year 6 Aquamarines have been exploring what a character descript ion is and how to create one. They began the week with a creative workshop; drawing each other from observation, playing character ‘consequences’ and forming descriptive phrases from a word bank.
This led on to working in groups to describe a character from a photograph. The challenge was to use adventurous vocabulary and depict the whole person.
The final challenge was to write their own character description of a previously unseen image. Every child was given the same image, yet every child’s work was completely different. Great fun was had by all and great writing flowed as a result.
