Year 3 English – A Giant Idea!

Year 3 English – A Giant Idea!

In English, Year 3 have been diving into the magical world of The BFG by Roald Dahl. We have been exploring the character of Sophie and learning all about her clever plan to get the other gruesome giants into trouble!

The children have been thinking carefully about Sophie's character and how she might be feeling. They have explored how curious, excited and determined Sophie is as she prepares to put her brilliant plan into action. We have also been developing our vocabulary, collecting exciting phrases and thinking about how to bring Sophie's thoughts and feelings to life through our writing.

Today, the children are putting themselves in Sophie's shoes as they write a diary entry in role. They will be explaining her amazing idea, sharing her excitement and determination and describing what she hopes will happen next. The children are focusing on writing in the first person, using personal pronouns, emotive language and interesting vocabulary to make their diary entries engaging and full of character.

We can't wait to read their fantastic diary entries and see how they bring Sophie's brilliant plan to life!
