  • Watch the clip. Can you write the story from the perspective of one of the meerkats? Remember to make your writing as exciting as possible.

  • Some things you might want to include… A verb to start a sentence. E.g. Racing across the savanna, we could only think of one thing: food.

  • An adverb to start a sentence. E.g. Skilfully, we passed the fruit between us.

  • Try adding some short, snappy sentences to add excitement. E.g. He froze.

  • Tell the reader when something happened. E.g. Moments later, an enormous shadow passed overhead forcing us to run for cover

  • Use adjectives (describing words) to add interest. E.g. The starving, calculated vulture landed upon the bare branch, eyeing up the sweet, ripe fruit as it dangled tantalisingly.

  • Use a simile to compare something in the story to something else. E.g. Like a well trained rugby team we rallied into formation.

  • Make vocabulary swaps for smarter words. E.g. We (ran) sprinted across the (ground) scrubland.
