Term 1: Examples of Dialogue

‘What’s up?’ snarled Tim.

‘Not much,’ replied Bill.

‘Pass the sugar,’ Mrs Jenkins said quietly.

‘No way,’ Simon snapped rudely.

‘I smell wet dog,’ snapped Mr Warbox, grabbing his umbrella.

‘Leaping lizards,’ muttered Annie, trying to hide Benji.

‘Get out,’ snarled Jazz. She grabbed the door and flung it wide open.

But Brand stood his ground. Outside they could hear the crowd shouting.

‘Keep your hair on,’ retorted Brand.

‘The donuts are ready to eat,’ said Mrs Ramsbotham. She grinned at her family as she placed the dish on the table with a flourish. Mr Ramsbotham glanced up from his newspaper and winced. The grandfather clock chimed twelve.

‘Oh no, not more donuts,’ he sighed.

Term 1: Settings – Describing a Known Place

The Giant Man

She turned and looked across the fields towards the hill. Beyond the fence was the rolling gold of the corn. Beyond the corn ran a distant hedge of gorse that bloomed like bright sulphur. Beyond the hedge towered the high hill. On the hill grew a circle of trees. Standing in the trees was the giant. His hair was hardly visible as his head was tangled in the branches where the rooks cawed and the squirrels darted.

Strawberry Banks

Strawberry Banks is a field near the school. To get there you have to cross a stile and walk through a small piece of woodland. Then you come out onto the top of the bank. The field is on a hillside and it stretches down into the valley. There are no roads and no houses so it seems like a secret place, tucked away from human eyes.

In the summer you can smell the wild thyme and hear the bees buzz. There are patches of yellow gorse that smell like coconut. On the way down, there are mole hills and lots of tiny tracks. These paths are where the sheep walk. If you sit still you are bound to see rabbits, and high in the sky you will see a kestrel hovering.
