Lots of you are now ready to write your final paragraph. Read the one below about Chris Bonington.

It all started for Chris Bonington when he read W.H. Murray’s book about mountains. Then his heart was set on a dream to be a great mountaineer. Not only has he succeeded but his courage, determination and leadership have made him one of the greatest mountaineers ever to live. Would you have the courage to succeed like this remarkable man has done?

Now write your final paragraph.

After you have finished your biography, and checked it through carefully, you might want to draw the person you are writing about.

Today we are going to continue to write our biographies. It has been lovely to read your opening paragraphs. Next, you need to write the key events in time order. Take a look at the Roald Dahl paragraph below.

Roald Dahl was born in Llandaff, South Wales on September 13th, 1916. Dahl’s parents, Harald and Solfie, were Norwegian. Dahl was named after the polar explorer, Roald Admundsen. He spoke Norwegian at home with his parents and his sisters: Astri, Alfhild and Else. Dahl went to a boarding school which provided some of the inspiration for his later stories.

This paragraph is then followed by one about his life after leaving school and then one about how he became an author. Think about how you are going to organise your paragraphs and have a go!

Maths

Today we are going to look at negative numbers. Looking at the weather outside at the moment I think it is the right time to be doing this!

Thank you for all the research you have done on the author of your choice. Lots of you are now ready to begin writing your biography.

First of all, read the opening paragraph again about Roald Dahl.

Have you ever heard of Fantastic Mr Fox? Or read about the enormous crocodile? Do you know what was scary about The Magic Finger? If you say yes to these questions then you are probably a fan of Roald Dahl already. If you say no, don’t worry you are in for a real treat! Roald Dahl was one of the most successful writers for children who ever lived. This is his story.

Can you see this paragraph introduces Roald Dahl and explains why he is known? Use this style to write the opening paragraph for your biography.
