Here are some examples of work P4/5 have done on certain settings. See if you can spot any f the language techniques they have been learning to use. (Alliteration, Onomatopoeia, Similes, Metaphors, Personification)

Jalal Al Boushi:

Ahmed Abdulqader:

The rural landscape is a remote place with not many people. The one and only thing that I surrounding you is the beautiful, green mountains. There are many sheep; big ones, small ones, baby ones and old ones. All kind of sheep. The most fun part about living in a rural place, is that you can have a farm and you can go hiking.

The rural landscape has the lovely, green mountains. There are lots and lots of sheep; baby sheep, adult sheep and elderly sheep. There is a farmer that looks after the animals there. There are beautiful, fluffy clouds in the sky, lovely, juicy grass that is pure green and green, green trees. The wind whistles through them.
