Description Writing - Our Creature Zoo

Mr Lewzey read us the Gruffalo where we learned that the mouse was giving the other animals in the story a description of the Gruffalo.  Here is a video of the story if you have not heard it before:




We decided that we were going to create our own creature zoo where we were able to write some descriptions of creatures that we made up.  We now know that we need the following parts of a description:
  • An introduction to introduce our creature.
  • Characteristics to help describe our creature.
  • Some information that helps us show our thoughts or feelings about our creature.
Here are our descriptions - we were able to refine these by reading them to others and checking to see if it made sense to our buddies.



We then got to create an picture of our creature to help show our readers what our descriptions could look like if they were to meet them.  Please come into the hub and see our creature zoo if you get a chance!

  2. The Gruffalo is such a good story to get the children to think differently and creatively about what a different creature could look like. I loved the way they pushed the ideas further and further beyond the known. A great culmination to developing more descriptive writing. Well done team!!

  4. I really enjoyed the descriptive words which you used to bring your characters to life. I especially like the scary creatures with big teeth and sharp claws. You could use the Ipad app Aurasma to create some cool interactive posters with your published writing.
