During the past two weeks we have read a selection of short stories about a boy named Horrid Henry and his brother Perfect Peter. We have met a whole host of characters including: Moody Margaret, Boudica Battleaxe, Rude Ralph, Greedy Graham, Sour Susan and Vomiting Vera to name but a few!
This week in Big Writing, the children will be writing a play script that will include some of the characters that they have become familiar with.
For BIG TALK homework, watch the short clip from a cartoon episode of Horrid Henry below:

With somebody at home discuss:
- Horrid Henry's character - use some adjectives to describe him.
- Perfect Peter's character - again using interesting adjectives.
- Compare the brothers. Why do you think they behave the way they do?
This will help you to better understand and describe your characters when writing your play script tomorrow. Good luck!
