Teaser Week Activity

Here is a great description of the BFG from Bella at Westland High School. This is another activity from the Teaser Week!!

The BFG towers above Sophie and looks down at her with big googly sad eyes. His long narrow nostrils have thick, curly, grey nose hairs that look disgusting. His mouth, however, is always smiling when he talks, showering whoever he talks to with love from his heart of gold.

Teaser Week example

This is the first activity from the Teaser Week questions. Here is the finished post from Millah at Grey Main School.
