Motorbike Writing

Vroom! Vroom! The bikes were a blur as they rocketed straight by.  They zipped, zoomed and revved their engines and whizzed along the school.  They wore a helmet, gloves and a jersey.  They came to say ‘Not to bully’.

Jem

Vroom! Vroom! The noisy motorbikes revved their engines as they zoomed past. Leather jackets flapping in the wind.  It was exciting.  A fluffy white dog peeped out of a pocket. A shiver ran up my spine.  My friends and I yelled with excitement as they passed.  They told us not to bully.

They left with a zip, zap, zoom! It had been amazing.

Ruby

Grey blurry smoke fired out of the engine as they shot like a missile across the grounds.  They also had smoke that filled the air.  The message was to not bully people that didn’t do it to you.  They wore special hard suits.

Magnus

Vroom! Vroom! They raced past us.  They grumbled with terror. They shot like a bullet across the ground. They trembled with fear. The motorbikes were loud. They went around the pods. They were awesome.

Amazing Descriptions of a Haunted House.

The Haunted House

I saw a freaky house. It had a big crack. The lightning crashed around the house. The house was broken up the top. It looked rusty when I saw it. Crash! Went the lightning. The house tumbled down in a second. The house was broken in a flash. The windows are rumbling. The doors are shaking and the doors are rattling around the knob. The rays of light are shining through the shattered windows. The dust is raised over the window sill.  The dust got thicker and thicker on window panes. I heard creaking coming from the top of the stairs that has cobwebs dangling from it.

The Haunted House

Crunch! Crack! went the house. The windows were cracked. The door was scratched and no body went in there again. The clouds blustered and it was windy. Thunder blew bricks off the house. The roof was covered with cobwebs and oil. The gate was in smithereens and a brick was too. The floorboards were rickety and covered with dust. The rays of light were shining through the shattered glass.

The Haunted House

I see a haunted house in the trees. At night there is lightning smashing on the roof. It looks scary to me. In a world that no one has seen. The pipe is getting damaged. There is water leaking. The clouds are dark and gloomy. The door is opening and closing so it gets scarier and freaky. There were vines swinging on the trees. The house stands quietly. The window panes were laid in dust. The spiders are making webs, it makes me tremble with fear. The gate is fastened with an old rusty chain.

Popcorn Writing

Pop! Pop! Pop! goes the popcorn.  I can hear munch, munch,munch.   It was jumping like mad and it is dancing around the popcorn machine.  It was going around and around and around like a washing machine.
Teddy


Pop! went the popcorn.  It is flicking out of the machine.  Everyone is crowding around it and steering at it.  The popcorn was exploding like a volcano.
Magnus

Pop! Pop! Pop! The popcorn is popping out of the popcorn machine.  Everyone is getting excited.  We got some of the yummy popcorn.  I loved it.  Yum ,yum, yum.  It smelt like warm butter.  My tummy was rumbling waiting for it to pop.
Ruby

The popcorn is pop, pop, popping out of the machine.  The popcorn is yummy.  We were waiting patiently for it to pop.  Suddenly the popcorn went Pop! Bang!  Crash!  Boom! It was dancing around the bowl.

Viewing artists work

We have been looking at famous artists work and discussing the lines and detail they have used. We then went out and looked at our landscape and drew using different lines and shading.

Absolutely amazing results. Well done Room 7. We are looking forward to viewing more art from the art truck on Wednesday.

Magnus is doing some excellent strumming on the ukulele.
