Sensory Verbs Quiz

Today for writing Ms Kirkpatrick has set a quiz based on sensory verbs which are of course the 5 senses (taste,sight, touch, smell, sound). One of the quiz sentences were the soap ___ lemon. The options were out of smell like, smell, smelt, and smells like. I picked smells like which was correct. There were 11 sentences to fill out and I got them all right. This quiz was pretty easy and hope to do another one. Sensory verbs are used when your talking about an event that has the 5 senses. 

Can You Guess What I Did Over The Summer Holidays?

L.I. - Writing to recount

Writing using language features to engage readers

Complete these sentences about an event over the summer holiday.
Don’t tell us what the event was just give us enough information that we can know for ourselves.

I wondered if the bouncy castle is on today, although I do not want to get caught doing mischievous things on it.

I saw one lifeguards looking at me like a spying camera.

I heard multitudes of splashes around the center.

I heard girls screeching like a bunch of falcons and boys bombing like whales.

I felt the coldness of the water splash to my back.

I felt the water slithering around my body.

I wondered if the girl’s screeching would ever end.

During the holidays I did some pretty fun things. My favorite thing about the summer holidays was going to a camp site. I went to Rotorua and went to a camp site name Tui Ridge. The problem was that there were no internet so we did a lot of walking around the place. As part of our writing task we had to write a recount with seven sentences (for each senses) about one thing we did in the holidays. Can you guess what I did over the summer holiday. The recount describes shows you what I did but I didn't tell. For this task we had to use literacy devices like onomatopoeia, metaphor, similes etc. I have used some literacy devices like compound and complex sentences. I also had to illustrate what I did in the holidays. Above shows you my illustrated drawing. Remember to Guess what I did over the summer holiday. Good Luck.

Senses - You've got 2 minutes

I see the basketball going swiftly up in the air like a nuclear bomb heading towards the big hoop of heaven. I smell the awful and revolting odour from sporty armpits as they travel past me. When I run past the office I smell the aroma of the coffee wafting through the air. I hear the enthusiastic cheers after a three pointer is scored. I feel  the strong breeze of the basketball as it aims for the hoop allowing me to taunt in victory. I taste the awesome little crumbs of burger I had for lunch but it is victory that leaves the best taste in my mouth.

L.I - To think about how I can work/phrase my ideas so that they are clear.

Today for writing we were using the senses which is See, Smell, Her, Feel, Taste to write about what happens at lunch times. We had only 2 minutes to write about what we See, Smell, Hear, Feel, Taste. It was easy to write in 2 minutes because in Writing we always practise writing in 1 minute. I think next time I could write more sentences.
