Our Writing

Have a look at some of the great writing that has been going on in Room 20 this term - we have chosen some of our favourite pieces to share with you. We hope you enjoy them! Please leave us a comment :)
Check back later in the week for some more of our fantastic writing!

Autumn
Autumn feels like the air going through
the breeze.
I feel the hot air.
Autumn smells like the fresh air from
the rivers. I feel the clover moving against
the grass.
Autumn looks like the trees blowing
together. I look at the future.
Autumn sounds like the loud footsteps of
people running around the playground.
I hear the airplanes.

      Summer
Have you ever felt summer?
Sure you have
Remember that time…
When you were  jumping on the tramp with the sprinklers on and you lost your breath and ran to get some water then you ran back and lay down on the tramp.
Remember how the water dripping on you felt?
That was summer.

Remember that time…       
When you were doing cartwheels and fell over. Remember how the grass felt?
That was summer.

Remember that time…
when you were so tired and just had to go inside and tuck up with a good book.
Remember how the sun glowing on you felt?
That was summer.

 Sharkicorn
Sharkicorn is a shark mixed with a unicorn. You may think this will be a peaceful animal but it is an angry animal, it could kill you in one bite so don’t go near it. It could bite 100 bits of metal in one go.  The sharkicorn has rainbow coloured skin, its teeth are as sharp as a knife. It has smooth soggy wet skin. It has 10000 lives.The creature could sniff something 10000 kilometres  away.It smells like a rotten banana. The Sharkicorn lives in Greenland it comes out at night.It’s favourite food is chops. The Sharkicorn could run faster than a cheetah but it is color blind.It’s claws are so sharp it could rip through a sheet of steel. Its magical unicorn horn shoots rainbow lasers which could evaporate any thing. It can breath underwater.
