Metaphors and similes.

Battle of the Kruger Sequence

	The buffalo was walking in the hard light sun.
	When the lions saw them they got ready to attack.
	The buffalos keep on coming closer and closer until they saw them...
	They saw a ferocious lion really hungry and strong and quick that was coming straight at the calf buffalo.
	The buffalo were running at full speed but the lion caught the calf buffalo.
	When the lion caught the baby buffalo the crocodile was trying to get the calf buffalo.
	Then a whole herd of buffalos came and surround them.
	Then the buffalo started to attack them.
	And they freed the baby buffalo the end.

The life in WW1.

W.A.L.T describe what life was like for men and women in WW1 through a diary entry.

17th September 1917

The war is terrible because we have to dig trenches day and night. It is frustrating because of the rocks, rats and flies.  It is really hard to sleep because it is really hard to know what is going to happen tomorrow. I was wrong, the paradise and the adventure that I was planning turned into the worst months of my life.  All of the time when we were going to war, the commander shouted out “Go go go”. But it is the worst, but the men are brave as a lions, strong as a gorillas and fast as a cheetahs! We will survive.  

Two days ago I made a friend called Max, and we always play, Who can catch the most  rats? It was awesome at first, but when you keep on playing it you can get bored.  Then he died. If I see his family, I will say that he was a brave warrior.

The food is horrible, stale and moldy. Some of them are getting cigarettes and smoking everyday and that is making them really sick.  Sometimes I hear loud bangs and booms. Crack goes the rifle. I am really frightened. It’s hard to have a good sleep.

Yours sincerely
