Over Autumn 2, 6 Red have been learning about mountains as their Topic. I’d like you to show what you have learned by writing a biography about a famous mountaineer.
Remember to include all the biographical features we have been using in English lessons; quotes, 3rd person and conjunctions/ adverbials to link will all be important.
