Maths DLO - Week 5 Term 4

This week for Mathematics, I've been learning about Time, our aim was to understand time units/ Analogue & digital Time. Throughout learning about Time,  have learnt how to tell the time correctly, and also convert digital time to 24 hour time, it is so much fun and really easy. Below is my DLO Slideshow of my understanding and learning about Time.

Inspired Writing:
For the past few weeks we've been working on how to improve our vocabulary, we've done this through writing about an image that interests us. Our aim was to change simple sentences into complex sentences. We got to chose a image out of five categories (Our world, Fantasy, Apocalyptic, Animals, Space).
I chose Apocalyptic, here is my complete sentence. 

Meaning of the colors: 
Yellow = adjective (to add more detail).
Blue= language features; like similes or metaphors. 
Purple= Topic Words; directly related to the picture.
Red= emotive language; to create/clarify mood.
Final= Paint a clear picture in the mind of the my readers and give
          the reader detailed and specific information. 

My simple sentence:
There was a silent city

My complex Sentence:
A voiceless indistinct abandoned city shattered like broken pieces of
glass, a pile of broken bricks cherished with happy and joyful memories. 

Below is a E-Asttle Vocabulary Success Criteria. Our aim for our Inspired Writing is R5 or R6. To be at that level we must include Language features such as Similies, Metaphors and add your emotion to make your writing more interesting.
