KS2 writing worksheet that helps Year 4 and Year 5 children describe characters, objects and events in more detail.

The page reminds children that strong descriptions use adjectives, adverbs, similes and metaphors, and that they can describe how something looks, feels, smells, sounds or tastes. A worked example builds a description of a castle from a short list of keywords like tall, turrets, flags, grey stone walls and high on a mountain into three connected paragraphs about a castle on a rugged mountain defended by the king’s fierce army. Children then practise the same keyword-to-sentence technique on their own subjects, with a second page providing additional space and prompts to extend the writing.

Useful for narrative writing units, classroom intervention on descriptive vocabulary or homework before a story-writing task. More writing work sits in the grammar and writing worksheets for KS2 ages 7 to 9. Printable PDF, A4, downloads instantly after purchase.
