Jump Jam

In our writing group this week we have been learning to write sense poems. Please read our poems about Jump Jam. I can see the people puffing like a steam train as they perform more actions. I can feel the ground shaking like an earthquake because of the booming speakers. I can hear the music stopping and starting like a rap. I can smell all the dust drifting into my nose. I can taste the sweat dripping in my mouth. By Jessica

Crocodile Descriptions

We have been learning to write descriptions for a main character in a narrative story. Read our crocodile descriptions. Long, long ago in a bright rainforest lived a strong, violent crocodile with eyes like security cameras. She had jaws like a giant rat trap that trapped then killed her prey. Her powerful teeth were as sharp as a chainsaw cutting down a tree and she had bulging eyes. She sat camouflaged in the murky water like a rough, jagged rock. Her huge solid body could not be seen, all her body was covered except the bumps and spikes on her back. By Kyla A long time ago when cars weren't made yet there lived a dangerous crocodile that lived in the river Ganges. The crocodile had a spiky back, short legs and a big head. By Kalaneti Three centuries ago when televisions weren't invented yet, a fierce and fearless crocodile live in a tropical jungle. The jungle was an unknown island that humans had never been to in the Indian Ocean. The crocodile had razor sharp teeth more powerful than a grinder. He was uglier than Henry the 8th. He had bulging eyes and spikes on his back. His tail was sharper than a metal spike and he had pillar like legs. His body was as thick as a tree trunk, his claws harder than iron and his light green skin was as slimy as goo. By Liam C
