Show not Tell


This week we have been working on describing and we have been focusing on show not tell. Our teacher gave us a picture of a scared cat and then we had to describe it with out telling that the cat was frightened or scared. I kind of liked the activity because you got to write paragraphs and I like writing paragraphs. We had to use our senses, simile or metaphor and precise nouns, verbs and adjectives to describe.  Can you find my simile?

Problem solving

WALT: Apply our maths strategies to real life word problems.
For this activity we had to read the question carefully. Then we had to decide which parts of the question is the most important information and highlight what would help us solve the problem. After that we had to work out the equations and record down our answers as well as our working out.

I tried to make my working out look easy so you would under stand it if you don't know your times tables. I enjoyed this activity a lot because maths is one of my favourite subjects.

What is yours?
