Reading
LI: Retrieve information from the story.
You have two tasks:
English
LI: Use similes
‘Describing Dinosaurs’ – This tasks is set as a 2Do on Purple Mash but you can do it with a pencil and paper if you prefer. Write a list of similes that could be used to describe the dinosaur that terrified the children in Chapter 3.
Similes are used to describe something by comparing one thing to another. For example: ‘a huge tail like a slide in a playground’ or ‘legs as thick as tree trunks’. You could write similes about the dinosaur’s legs, skin, sound, movement, teeth and tail. Can you think of a simile to describe how the dinosaur made Jasmine feel?
