Today we learnt how to write using the language feature: onopmatopoeia. It is called onomatopoeia when the sound of a word is the same as its meaning.
Here are some great onomatopoeia sentences that we thought of today:
* The whoosh of the windmills whirling wind (Thomas)
* The thump of the judge's hammer (Ethan)
* The squeal of a really surprised mouse (Kaci)
* The patter of a little mouse scattering across the ground (Caitlin)
* The squelch of a big blob of paint (Emerson)
* The squelch of runny mud between my toes (Brodie)
* The patter of rain on the roof (Campbell)
