Using adjectives

We have been learning to use adjectives.  Adjectives are a fancy name for describing words.  They make our writing sound interesting and help to add details.   Today we pretended we were at a park and described what we could see using adjectives.  Here are some examples:

ANZAC Day - We will remember them

This week there was a public holiday called ANZAC Day.  We read a story about a girl who was watching her Grandad in a dawn service. We talked about the war and learned some facts about World War 1. We thought about what it would have been like to be one of the soldiers at war. We brainstormed what we would have seen, heard and felt. The next day we made poppies and for writing we wrote down some of the facts we had learned. 

Here are some of our stories:

On ANZAC Day we remember people who died in the war.  When they were fighting the date was 1914.  Some people were brave and some were scared.  Some people were injured and the other people in their army were sad.  They were fighting in Gallipoli.

ANZAC Day is on the 25th of April.  Lots of people died.  There were lots of soldiers arriving on boats.  We wear poppies to remember the soldiers who died.  The ANZACs are the New Zealand and Australian army. There were lots of soldiers shooting each other.  The army fight was in Gallipoli.

ANZAC Day
The army went on a boat to Gallipoli where people died.  Some people got their legs chopped off.  Guns were shooting people.  People carried dead people that had been shot.
