Because this resource is set at the core level, it is perfectly suited for learners working at the expected standard, providing enough depth to stretch their vocabulary without becoming overwhelming.
The packet includes five to seven varied questions, ranging from simple recall exercises where children identify adjectives to creative application tasks where they must write their own descriptive paragraphs.
