Figurative Language

L.I Figurative Language. 

This week for writing we were learning about figurative language. 


We had to make a simile,metaphor,hyperbole,peronification and understatement about Mr Ogilvie.

Here a example Mr Ogilvie voice was beating my ears that is a peronification.

Me and my group made complement about Mr Ogilvie. 

A simile is describing about how tall or fast people are.

A metaphor is comparing two things without using like or as in a sentence.

A hypwebole is when you exggerate if someone is to lond near you.

A peronification is giving a human traits to obiects or ideas from your friends or yoursife

A unserstatement is a expression with less strength than expected.

Today I practised my water safety skills at the lagoon pools. 

The first skill I practised was arms straight and behind ears to do this skill I had to put my arms behind my ears and dive down.

Then I did fast kicking slow with arms and slow strokes.

Latstly I practised rolling and diving in the lagoon pools.

I got better at diving and I need to improve rolling and breathing.

Story of Rahi and Patupaiarehe

L.I:Summarize,Visualising and inferencing.

This week we were learning to summarize. We also needed to link visualising a inferencing to help us. We filled in a stroy web to summarize each part of the story. I used my my visualising from week one to help seperate the parts of the story. I used my character inference trait to use adjective and evidence to help summarize different parts.

Using good adjectives unlocks meaning information and I can summerise quicker. 

Connecting all three strategies helped me to understand the story characters and keywords.
