Descriptive Writing in Ben Lomond

Ben Lomond Clan have been delving into the art of descriptive writing. We began this journey by writing about our namesake munro. This was a cold piece of work to see what we remembered from last year.

We focused on using adjectives to describe Ben Lomond. The ‘describing bubble’ resource helped us to think about the colour, texture, size and shapes we could see in photographs. We also looked closely at our writing targets, placing emphasis on the importance of punctuation and ensuring that capital letters and full stops are used correctly.

To support our writing, we used oil pastels to create beautiful images of Ben Lomond. This hands-on activity helped us to explore colour and texture while giving us a visual reference for our writing.
