Literacy This Week 2016 29/6/16

For the last few weeks Mr Wiseman's Literacy class has been reading a book called BFG. Every day Mr Wiseman, read's the BFG to us for 20min, so far we are nearly to the end of the book. There is a girl named Sophie she met the BFG (Big Friendly Giant) she thought he was really scary but when she got to know him she got used to him. Half way through the story Sophie and her new friend the BFG had to warn the queen, so they made the queen have a bad dream come true.

Then after we read the BFG Mr Wiseman tells us to have a "2min stretch" then we get straight into our literacy. First we read the whole journal then we have to complete our reading presentation. After we have worked our way through the presentation and after we have read the book, we go to the teacher (Mr Wiseman).

This week for writing we have been using personification and similes to make a poem up. Similes, If you don't know what similes are then here are some examples, As slow as a snail, As fast as a cheetah, As tall as a giraffe. Personification, If you are wondering what is Personification, well here are some examples of Personification, the wind whistled throughout the day, the wind yells while blowing, the car danced across the icy road. That's what personification is.
