So far in English, we have learnt about Language Features, Sensory Language, Metaphors and Similes and Slam Poetry

What makes “good” creative writing,

• Be Creative
• Write what you know
• Push yourself
• Write what you like

I enjoyed the Sensory Language. I like the challenge of having to use all five senses.

Heart attacks

What is it? 
A heart attack is when there is a sudden blockage of an artery that supplies blood to a part of your heart. It happens when a blood clot completely blocks the flow of blood and seriously reduces blood flow to the heart muscle.

Today we learnt three

1. That once the rice I cooked you need to ensure that it is stored correctly and for no longer than 24 hours before you, the risk of getting food poisoning from the bacteria called listeria. (a type of bacterium which infects humans and other warm-blooded animals through contaminated food).
2. That 4-60 degree is the danger zone 
3. The temperature where bacteria best grows is the optimal bacteria growth ( 37*)

Sensory Language

Task
Write a short paragraph describing a scene with all five senses

The sun shimmers off the open sea, waves thumps the side rocks with a splash, a breeze carrying the stench and taste of the ocean through the air.                       

Language Features

Human Rights

 1. My understanding of tone/shading has improved
