This week in Year 3, we have been working hard on our narratives inspired by The Dream Giver (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8k1gUaJvK-4 ). To make our stories more exciting and interesting for our Year 5 readers, we learned how to use similes in our writing.
We discussed how similes help the reader picture what is happening, such as describing someone moving ‘as quietly as a shadow’ or dreams floating ‘like bubbles in the air.’ The children then practised creating their own similes to add detail, mood and fun to their writing.
Everyone enjoyed experimenting with imaginative comparisons and we were very impressed with how confidently the class used similes to bring their ideas to life. Our writing is already sounding more vivid, engaging and entertaining.
Well done, Year 3! Your Year 5 reading buddies are going to love your stories!
