Senses Description Examples by Authors

Make yourself an Inspiration Station! A display, envelopes, or lucky dip boxes filled with these examples. They include extracts from children’s texts where authors have used the senses in their description, such as taste, smell or sounds (see the list below for the full range and quantities).

Children can magpie the ideas, vocabulary, or the structure and adapt to suit their own writing. This idea drastically improved the quality of writing in my classroom, and it is something they can access independently. It also helps to provide evidence of children working at greater depth in year 6: “drawing independently on what they have read as models for their own writing”.
