Using adjectives

Today we talked about making a sentence more interesting by adding adjectives/describing words to a sentence.
We started with a simple sentence and added some words to make it sound more exciting for the reader.

The cat sat on the mat.
The pitch black cat sat on the mat.
The pitch black cat sat curled up on the mat.
The pitch black cat sat curled up on the fluffy orange mat.

It makes a difference don't you think? What can you come up with? We will post the best!
