Descriptive writing

 WALT: write a descriptive piece.


*Write to describe this setting, imagine you are there

*Starting with a brainstorm of your senses could help you.. For this task we had to describe a picture that Miss Power gave us this was the picture

This is how I described the picture

On a cold snowy night as I sit by the warm fire, the smoke pouring out of the chimney I roast marshmallows on my open fire whilst drinking a nice warm hot chocolate with 4 marshmallows bobbling on top. The cold draft comes through the cracks in the bottom of the door and it feels like I'm walking in snow. As I sit in my chair rocking it creaks like the floorboards do when I'm trying to sneak some chocolate. The moon shines through the clouds and the snow falls ever so carefully and as they float past the window It gives me shivers because it reminds me how cold it is outside. I snuggle into my covers and fall asleep.

Camp story

 We went on camp on the 2nd of June till the 4th of June. I had so much fun but the best activity was tree climbing. We wrote a descriptive piece describing our favourite thing on camp, this was mine.

Hanmer Springs camp 2021


As I am tightening my harness around my waist I can feel myself getting more and more excited, the butterflies in my stomach fluttering less. The wind is blowing the trees about and it looks like they’re dancing about in the breeze. I walk up to the biggest tree with a buzz of excitement then I look up to see how tall it really is. I see Skylah go up and she goes up in a blast and my turn is coming faster than I thought and before I knew it I was clipping the carabiner onto my harness climbing the ladder up to the tree. When I feel the bark of the tree it spooks me but once I start climbing the tree it feels like I belong. Then I get to the top as fast as leaves blow on a windy day, as i'm coming back down I think to myself how difficult it would be to climb up blindfolded, so once I made it to the bottom feeling like I accomplished something big I get curious and ask to go up blindfolded and as I’m putting on the blindfold it goes pitch black, and as soon as I climb the ladder to the tree it feels like I belong I fly up as fast as a monkey and I feel proud because  made it without falling and on my way down I can't get the smile off my face.
