In writing, we are learning how to write effective descriptions. This week, we have studied figurative language and discussed the impact on the reader. Our next step is to write our own similes and metaphors and include them in our own descriptions 👍🏼😀 Well done! Room 16.

Es verdad que yo parto de la base que de que en todas partes cuecen habas pero también creo que la mayoría de la gente es buena, sólo que a veces se ve lastrada por manzanas podridas. ¡Demasiados símiles de comida, igual va siendo hora de desayunar! 😅
