Good morning Year 6!
This week we have been looking at Word Classes and today we are continuing that as we are learning about ‘Adjectives, including Comparatives and Superlatives’.
Adjectives give more information about nouns-you can use adjectives to make your descriptions more interesting or accurate.
But…pick your adjectives carefully-don’t use long lists of adjectives as they can sound awkward so decide which are the most important features. Picking no more than 2 adjectives, when describing a noun, increases the effect on the reader.
🙁 …the tiny, hot, green, exotic, deserted island
:)…the exotic, deserted island
Comparatives-adjectives can be used to compare one thing to another.
e.g. My phone is louder than yours.
Never use ‘more‘ and ‘er‘ together
e.g. You are more quicker than me
Superlatives-adjectives can be used to say which of a group of things is the best, worst etc.
e.g. My phone is the loudest you can buy.
Never use ‘most‘ and ‘est’ together
e.g. You are the most quickest runner
Your task:
Look at the three pictures and write three sentences to describe the image. Remember to pick your adjectives carefully to increase the effect on the reader.

Great use of comparatives and superlatives!
Good morning Miss Gorick and Miss Healy!
The boat:
They chose the most tarnished boat of them all, having faith that it would get them across the sea safely. The old boat rocked violently as it approached the most deadliest waters only to be tipped over by a tremendous wave. The boat slowly deformed into the most sharpest splinters in the petrifying sea.
The sea monster:
As it closed onto the boat, it searched rapaciously for blood yet it found none. All the life from the ship had quickly escaped before it came. The sea monster was outraged and let out an infuriated roar which echoed throughout the sea.
The island:
Soon the survivors reached an island, quite bewildered on how the got there. They had come by little pieces of the shattered boat that could float and had traveled for miles. The island looked divine under the suns rays, it gave everything a glowing look that would attract anyone if the saw it.
What wonderful descriptions,thank you Jada! 🙂

The sun was beautifully setting across the frosty and snowy field.

The adorable little field mouse sat in his fluorescent yellow daffodil hiding from the big birds of prey, the eagles and owls. He popped inside for a little sleep and now pops his head out for a peep.
