Metaphors

Kia ora.
This week we have been working on metaphors.
Here is my work.

Kia ora, we have been doing more similes.
Again we had to choose a photo, and write similes about it, but this time we had to have a topic sentence.
I wrote my similes about a possum.

Poetry Writing T1 W5

Kia ora Bloggers!
For our poems we had to write a poem about the weather using at least 5 similes. Here is my poem.

Yay! Its Summer. The sun shines like a blinding light. Here comes Autumn. The wind is howling like werewolves in the middle of the night. Oh no. It is Winter. The snowmen are everywhere as if they were going to take over the earth. The rain comes pouring down like a shower on full, only to make matters worse. Making floods like an overflowing bathtub, we can’t wait till Winter is done. Woohoo! It is finally Spring. Now we can have lots of fun. The Spring has a mix of sun and wind. The sun now shines like a dim broken light getting brighter everyday, waiting to explode in one sudden burst. Now that it is all done, we will still have lots of fun starting it all over again.

Reading Poetry Lesson 5

Kia Ora! We have been doing more poetry. This week we had to recognise what types of similes were in poems. We had a poem we had to colour code and copy two of the sentences onto a DLO. See you later.

Learn:1. Why poets like to use similes in a poem.2.  The different sentence structures and word types needed in ‘like’, ‘as’, and ‘than’ similes.

Swimming T1 2018

Kia ora bloggers!
This year we have been practising streamlining our arms and legs.
We have also been practising our breathing skills.
I think I am amazing at using my arms, but I suck at kicking.
We also had swim safe come and teach us how to survive if we get caught in a current or a rip.
I could stay on my back-feet first for five minutes. Afterwards I had a very sore neck.
Here is a photo of me in the pool (I think I look super ugly).
See you soon.
