Club Details:

This 12-week club focuses on the wonderful device, "Show Don't Tell" to describe emotions, the weather and settings. Each week, the children will learn how to create descriptive sentences based on a theme, using ambitious vocabulary and figurative language to strengthen the imagery in their writing. The children will practise creating similes, metaphors, personification, hyperbole, alliteration and onomatopoeia as well as practising how to develop their sentence structures through powerful adjectives, adverbs and verbs. 

One aim of the course is to create an "Ideas Book". This book will be unique to each child; a book which they can use for many years to find inspiration when writing. Secondly, the children will learn how to use their sentences when writing different sections of a story. By the end of the course, the children will feel confident that they can add descriptive sentences into their own stories, showing an understanding of how imagery through the "Show Don't Tell" device can help to capture the imagination of their readers.
