my habitat poem

From a big vast desert

To the beautiful sea 

These places are present 

With animals you see

Habitats are homes 

Habitats are places 

Wherever you go

There right in front of your faces

the boy description

The boy

The boy in the lapis jacket was hunched forward gripping the game controller. Eyes glued to the TV, he ignored his surroundings like he was having a dream. He ignored his mum and the present that she gave him. He seemed uninterested. When sunlight came into the room, he cringed and acted like he was in a cave with no exit. Uncaring and selfish, the boy was torturing everyone.

The boy was moody and never let  anything come in his way; he was stubborn. Obsessed with video games, the boy was in a dark room and was ignorant to anyone that tried to take his attention away from the TV. The boy seemed heartless at first but then he got more considerate about others and treated them fairly.

blue coulor poem

WALT: Use figurative language in our writing

Blue reminds me of water gushing down a waterfall.

Blue tastes like fresh water from a mountain spring.

Blue is the immense force of rain spreading down my windowsill like tears on a sad face.

Blue smells like dirty socks in the washing.

Blue feels like sadness filling me up like a bucket of water .

Blue reminds me of feet going “Splash”in a puddle.

Blue looks like the slide on the junior playground.

Blue sounds like rain streaming on the window.

last week ,we created our own colour poem using a range of descriptive language
