Your homework this week is to continue learning the past regular and irregular verbs from the sheet or last weeks blog.

Tonight, you must also do a Big Talk - in preparation for a Big Write tomorrow.

The task will involve a character description. It can be a fictional character, human or creature. You must discuss what your character looks like (physical details): face, eyes, nose, ears, body...etc, but also its mannerisms, such as the way it walks and talks. You should also describe your character´s personality: shy, energetic, funny etc.
The Big Write tomorrow will NOT be a story, it should be a description only.
