Georgia's Descriptive Writing: Night Time


The bright moon is like a big silver banana night-light brightening the world.

Small stars are like bright torches shining over the darkness below.

The beautiful dark sky looks like a black tunnel - the light has disappeared.

The spiky hedgehog reminds me of a prickly cactus hovering around your backyard.

'My Day as a Carpet' by Arliyah


Dear Diary
I’m something that nobody notices. Laying peacefully on the ground that gets cleaned every day, sometimes even twice a day. Have you guessed what I am…….. Yes I am carpet. 

It’s a miserable life getting sucked into the rotten vacuum cleaner. She laughs at me every day, but I’m kind of glad I’m not a vacuum cleaner sucking up dust, dirt and food scraps, yuck! Anyway back to me...I get one look of what it’ll be like alive with legs running and jumping outside, it looks fun and easy feeling the soft, green, frail grass. But I’m glued to the ground - literally glued to the ground. 

While I was dreaming about what it’ll be like outside a monstrous thing came through the door followed by six little things. I am going to call them dogs. 

Anyway, wet and cold the little dogs curled up by the fire. After about an hour they warmed up. The warmth filled the room. They laid on me making me feel safe and warm.
But the horrid thing is I get vacuumed three times a day nnnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooo!!!!!!!!        

'My Day as a Cherry Tree' by Shaun


 Dear Diary

Hello to whoever is reading this. My name is Mr. Cherry and I live way out in the countryside. Today at 8am I woke up like usual. I talked on my mobile, had a chat with my other mates, cleaned my teeth, put some gel in my branches and ran around my orchard. Before I could do anything else a big logger truck halted and growled with its angry eyes and sharp teeth. I didn’t know what it wanted but I did know that the truck did not like me!

Brooke's Descriptive Poem: Spring


Frolicking lambs are like crying babies awakening from sleep.

Springing flowers remind me of leaping frogs jumping out of the water onto lily pads.

Colourful trees are like heaps of rainbows watching over me .

Chilly rivers remind me of icy cubes running down my back .

Beautiful outdoors remind me of good times with my friends .

Kayla's Descriptive Poem: The Beach


Golden sand slips between my feet like uncooked couscous on a warm summer's day,

Overjoyed kids splashing about in the ice cold sea like fully battered wound-up toys while theirparents watch on,

Relaxing adults spread out on their beach towels on the boiling hot sand like sloths, enjoying the sun glistening down on them,

Crashing waves rolling heavily on the forgiving sand like an angry giants stomping every now and then while people try to surf,

Screaming seagulls soaring through the blue sky like an ongoing bell ringing in your ear while you try and eat your fish'n'chips,

Blinding sun beaming down on the people below like a bright light while you enjoy the warmth,

Scrumptious ice-creams dripping through my fingers like snow melting slowly in a massive puddle,
Cosy home is where we go its like a massive security blanket after a long day at the beach.

Purple Cake Day!

Georgia organised a class fundraiser for Kenya and Haiti. She made purple cupcakes and the students bought them for a gold coin donation. Georgia also taught us interesting things about Kenya and Haiti. Nice work Georgia!
