The controller of Train Company on Sodor has left us a message. 

Dear Year 1,
 

I need a new train!

Come and tell me all about yourself and persuade me you are the one I’m looking for!

We are going to imagine that we are trains. You need to be able to describe yourself and persuade the controller to pick you!

Select and generate your favourite words so we can use them in our writing for the controller.

When we are selecting details about our trains we need to think about:- 

• Colour
• Size
• Type of train

I go…

I always…
