This resource introduces children to writing sentences with more variety and detail when describing story settings. The PowerPoint models how to use the five senses alongside techniques such as similes, metaphors, alliteration and onomatopoeia to bring a setting to life. Differentiated planning sheets support all learners, from simple sensory prompts to more advanced figurative language, helping pupils move beyond plain openers like “The forest was…” and experiment with richer, more engaging descriptions.
