The Day the crayons quit - English

We are starting this half term with a new class text, ‘The Day the Crayons quit’. Over the last few days we have read the story and used adjectives and noun phrases to describe the crayons and their emotions. Each coloured crayon wrote a letter to say why they were quitting and we have studied the persuasive language they used to convince Duncan (the main character) to treat them better. We then worked in groups to create short drama pieces, reading the letters with different tones and expression to show how strongly they felt about their treatment. They were very dramatic, well done Class 2!
