Scintillating Similes- Year 2/3
As gentle as a night time breeze
As bright as a flash of lightning
As tall as Mount Everest
Flynn
As busy as a job that never stops
As pretty as the highest mountain looking over the horizon
Voice like a rushing river
Nuala
As gentle as the waves that lap over and over again
As pretty as the blue bird that sits on my window
As proud as a fox that just got food
As silent as the wind in the night sky
Jemma
As gentle as a summer breeze
As hot as the scorching sun
As light as a butterfly's wings
Hannah
As hungry as a shark that can't find food
As dark as a foxes den
As slow as a slimy snail
Ben
As dark as a foggy forest
As beautiful as a gleaming flower
As beautiful as the sun going down on the hills
Lucy
As slimy as an eel struggling to free itself from the gripping fishing hook
As brown as the iris in your eyes
As long as endless love
Sunny
As red as a cricket ball speeding down the pitch
The car was as fast as Usain Bolt running as fast as he could
As flammable as cotton pyjamas
Paddy
Below are samples of our Story Writing In February:
One day there lived a little Meerkat family. There were Mr Meerkat and Miss Meerkat, Po and Bo.
One day the Meerkat family were just finishing off todays special: a fried scorpion, when they heard a noise. It sounded like a fox digging. "I hear a fox digging," cried Bo. "It's going to eat us," cried Bo.
"Huddle behind me," said Mr Meerkat as he grabbed the half eaten scorpion from Bo's plate, "I've got this all under control." Just as he said that the fox plopped down in front of him. Mr Meerkat threw the scorpion at the fox. The fox scuttled up the tunnel and was never seen again.

One day in the deep dark jungle, a strong and burly man was walking in the jungle. He was walking in the jungle because he got lost and decided to go for a wander. He was carrying a heavy sword with a long silver blade and a really pointy tip. He also carried a round gold shield which was also fireproof.
While he was walking in the jungle he heard a long low howl from close by. He pulled his sword from his patterned leather sheath. A wolf emerged from the dark green bushes. The wolf was in the jungle because his mean relatives told him to because they didn't like him. The man got ready to kill the wolf. The man had to kill the wolf because if he didn't the wolf would have killed him.
The jungle
Once upon a time there lived a boy that always wanted to explore the world.
So when he grew up he did explore the world. While he was exploring the world he found a big, dark, spooky jungle. He really wanted to go in and explore it so he went inside.
Then he saw an elephant. He said "what a cute little elephant." The elephant said "hello," and the explorer screamed. He ran and never saw the elephant again.
The explorer remembered that he had a torch in his backpack. He turned it on and then he turned around and there was a tiger just about to eat him. The explorer ran and ran. The tiger leaped. He was just about to eat him when the explorer saw that there was a rock behind him. He saw a gap that he could fit in he went in it. The tiger splatted and died. The explorer felt sorry for the tiger.
The explorer ran out of the jungle and went home.
