Rose

We are learning how to get better marks in our writing bu using hooks, similes and metaphors.I decided to write about my gorgeous sister, Rose Rangimarie Ratahi.


                                                               Rose. 
“Hi, baby Rose,” I say as my sister and father walked through the doorway.Her smiles are wide oceans.Her chubby cheeks smushed up like a flat ball, her eyes all squinted up.Cuddling her felt like hugging a teddy bear.She started to smell a bit for a moment.She is my cuddly bear, sweet, adorable, and always happy.It seems to be that she is always happy to see me.

 Have you ever heard a noise so loud it makes you shiver? When she cries it sounds like a devil's scream, her tears drown me. She screeches like crazy!!!Although my hearing is good she makes me feel as if I’m deaf.She’s either hungry or just wants something.But she’s always cute to me and I love how she drops her bottom lip and makes cute facials. 

 She cuddles Mum. Drinks her milk. She has no teeth but ate a whole shortbread!! She is a food vacuum cleaner.When she drifts off to sleep she’s just so cute.She could fool anyone with her smiles.

Similes and Metaphors.

Hi guys,

I've been learning how similes and metaphors work.
I learnt that similes are describing something to something else and metaphors are saying something is something else...
Here's my RECOUNT/ANIMATION simile and metaphor slide.

My Venn Diagram Of Two Animals.

Kia Ora,

Here is my Venn diagram I made to compare two animals,
Koalas and MeerKats.
Out of both animals my favorite would have to be a Koala.
A marsupial is a type of animal that has a pouch.
I've even saw some differences myself comparing the two animals, like how Koalas live alone but MeerKats live in groups.
A Venn Diagram is when you have two circles and make them overlap.
 It may look a bit like mine on page 15,
in the center of the two circles write what they have in common and then the two other circles their differences.

Meerkat; Koala.
Here's the drawing of the Koala,
