Learning to use synonyms

.

This week we have been focusing on Synonyms. A Synonyms a word that has the same meaning as another word. Eg. Big - Large, huge, gigantic. Using Synonyms in our writing can make our sentences more interesting. We used google dictionary to find word definitions and Synonyms then had to check that the new word made sense in the sentence.

Today for writing we were focusing on synonyms. A synonym is a word that means exactly the same as another word for example It was so hot outside. Another word for hot could be boiling. Above shows the DLO Freeman and I have made about Synonyms. It shows you powerful words Freeman and I have used. I learnt that another word for funny is bizarre. It was a bit hard because there were a lot of synonyms for us to chose from.

Difference between 'A' and 'An' by Viva

Today we were learning when to use 'A' and when to use 'An' before a word. If a word begins with a vowel which is A-E-I-O-U or silent 'H' (Eg; Hour or Honor), we use 'an'. We use  the letter 'A' for all other words except for the letters in the vowels. The photo shows the sentences we wrote to practice using the letter 'A' and the word 'An'.

Personification by Javeylor and Viva

Javeylor and I  created this DLO to show how our words can give things human qualities. This is called personification. In this task Javeylor and I  worked together to give the days of the week personalities.
