Migration

This week and next week our inquiry is about migration. Migration is when a group of animals (or people) leave where they are living now to go to a new place. For this activity, we had to look at photo's representing migration, and we had to write down what we can see, what we think is happening in the photo and what we wonder. And then we had to make an info graphic about migration.

Writing Figurative Language

 LI: to use descriptive language in a narrative text.
This week for writing had to get our narrative we wrote and we had to add onomatopoeia's, metaphor's, similes, personification and alliteration. Onomatopoeia's are words like oops, bang or crack, and in the story when things are highlighted this colour it is a onomatopoeia. A metaphor is when you say someone is like something, e.g Emily is a bull on the field, and if something is highlighted this colour it is a metaphor. A simile is getting two things and showing both of their similarities, and if something is highlighted this colour it is a simile. Personification is saying something that isn't alive do something a human does, e.g The moon went fishing, and if something is highlighted this colour it is personification. And alliteration is making three words start with the same letter, e.g The Big Bald Ball, and if you see something is highlighted this colour it is alliteration.

Writing: Simple, Compound And Complex Sentences

LI: to use a variety of simple, compound, and complex sentences.

Today for writing we had to get our narrative that we wrote and we had to add 5 simple sentences, 3 compound sentences and 4 complex sentences. A simple sentence is noun and a verb/ someone doing something. A compound sentence is someone doing something, a FANBOY, For, And, Nor, But, Or, Yet, So, and someone doing something. And a complex sentence is someone doing something and extra information. In the narrative if a sentence is highlighted yellow it is a simple sentence, and if something is highlighted green it is a compound sentence and if something is highlighted purple it is a complex sentence.
