What's a Pencil?

What's a Pencil?



What's a pencil you ask, well...

A pencil is an object that is made of wood from a tree and lead.

You can write with it and you can draw pictures with it.

Pencils become very small when you sharpen them.

There are different types of pencils, for example :

colouring pencils, writing pencils and more!

People use pencils to do their homework.

Pencils sometimes have painted patterns on them and some are just plain!

Some pencils are hexagon shaped and others are round like a cylinder.

Did you know that pencils used to be feathers and you had to dip them in ink!

Now do you know what a pencil is?

QUIZ TIME!

What part of a pencil can you put in the compost?

A. Whole Thing  B. Lead  C. Shavings  D. The Wood


Answer : C

My Reflection

I was learning how to write an explanation.  It was tricky to explain what pencils are used for.  I am proud that I now know how to explain what an object is.  Next I will use this skill to explain what another object is, or even an animal!

A great explanation of a pencil, Kieran. A good idea to have a little quiz at the end. Now you can try to write explanations of other objects.
