Super Sentences

Room 14 have been learning to write super sentences. They were given some boring sentences which they then had to turn into super sentences. They weren't allowed to use the key word from the given sentence but instead had to paint a picture in the readers mind using powerful adjectives and language features - they had to think about what it would look like, feel like and sound like. They did a super job!
