Setting Descriptions using figurative language

WALT: write a setting description using figurative language and show not tell to create atmosphere.

Using the skills you have learnt this week, write a short setting description that intrigues the reader and leaves them wanting to read on.

Choose one of the pictures below to write your setting description. Remember to read each sentence through carefully to ensure it makes sense, is punctuated correctly and your spellings are accurate.

Wow us with your amazing description and we will publish them on the website!

Numeracy Ninjas

Algebra – Remember to substitute (replace) the letters with the equivalent number and then complete the calculation. Show your workings out in your book. Always follow BODMAS.

Examples

If a = 8, b = 2, c = 3 and d = 9

a² – (b + c)² = 8² – (2 + 3)² = 64 – 5² = 64 – 25 = 39

ac / 2b = (8x3) ÷ (2x2) = 24 ÷ 4 = 6

3b³ = 3 x (2x2x2) = 3 x 8 = 24

(2c – b)² = (6 – 2)² = 4² = 16

√d = √9 = 3 because 3x3 = 9, so the square root of 9 is 3.

Please see ‘Generic Maths to do at home’ section so your child can practise the times tables sheet they are currently on.
