Writing
We have been practising writing description. Here are some descriptions which have: a simile, a complex sentence beginning with 'As' and a sentence where the noun has been 'wrapped' with adjectives and a clause

Here are some samples: As I stared sleepily out of the grey, arched window, I noticed something peculiar. The waterfall that usually roared down the slopes like a lion, was now slowly trickling down as soft as a feather. As I contemplated the beautiful surroundings, I noticed a small sparrow perched on the edge of the windowsill. Eva 6B

As I approached the end of the narrow stone tunnel, I peered out and examined the clear waterfall and the dark blue river. I could just make out the snow-capped mountains and clouds as white and fluffy as cream. The old, mossy castle tunnel had been ruined for hundreds of years and was ready to collapse. Ewan 5B

As I opened the forbidden door, I walked on to the collapsed tunnel. I looked over the edge to the deep, icy river flowing towards the snow-capped mountains. The mountains were steep, like free falls. Nick 5B

As I gazed out the castle window, the gushing sound of the beautiful waterfall took my attention. But as I looked around, I saw the lovely snow-topped mountains standing there as the snake-like river wound its way around them. The clouds in the sky looked as soft as cotton wool as they were blown around by the cold, icy wind. Hannah 6B

As the water gushed down the mountain, I heard the heavy cedar door behind me clang shut. The river swerved and changed direction like a small sail boat following the curves of the coastline. Crepuscular rays shone down upon the water, causing the water to shine and glisten like priceless crystals. In the distance, snow-capped mountains lured me in as they had done for the past month. Even though I had seen this view a thousand times, it never failed to take my breath away. Lola 6B

As I stared through the window, I could not help thinking how much the sight looked like a painting. I had lived here half my life with my father. The house was more of a cave than a house. Its cobbled walls were cracked and grey but that seemed to make it more beautiful. The thing that completed its beauty was the sight at the end of the cave. The sparkling river with light shining on it wound its way through the snow-topped mountains like a wide blue snake. Above the mountains, pink, orange and yellow clouds floated peacefully. This was the sight that met my eyes every morning I woke up. India 6B
