Smashing Similes

We have been learning about figurative language in Year 3/4. This week we have had a focus on similes. We learnt that similes use the words 'as' or 'like' to make a comparison. Here are some of the smashing similes we wrote this week.

Ambulance Victoria Visit - Wednesday

Today the paramedics came to our school. We learnt CPR and I got to ride in the stretcher. We also learnt how to make a snake bite not hurt or the venom to not effect the human and my friend Sam had a broken arm. We got to see inside of a medical bag and we saw the green whistle from the movies. And we also we learnt that you need to tell them your home address when you call 000. And if you live on a farm tell them your farm’s name so they get the right house. The stretcher was scary because we went up really high but it was really fun because we got to ride around press the buttons up and down. Now people know how to stay safe and if they ever have an emergency they know how to call them and they know their number which is triple zero. By Jaxson Cross.

On Wednesday the paramedics came to school. They let us have a ride in the stretcher. It was great. It went so high. We also learnt that we have to do CPR on the patient for 2 minutes and I did it on a fake squeaky heart against my brother Hughie. We learnt what to do if someone got a snake bite. You have to get either a normal bandage or a snake bite bandage and wrap it around the bite very tight. If there is an emergency you have to call triple zero 000 and tell them your address and you farm name. There is this green whistle that you suck for pain medication and it smells really bad. They taught us about all the important thing that you need that are in the medical bag. It was so fun. By Mietta Price.

Today on Wednesday the the 3rd, I learnt about the CPR. Whenever someone had a snake bite we must call the 000. We must give them our home address, street name or our farm name.
