Written Language

In Written Language we are learning to describe a moment in time.

Room 18 all agree that it is a very difficult style of writing as it requires us to write in the present tense.
We are learning by looking at a photo of a scene and using our imagination to write to describe what we see.

Here is Holly's description of a moment in time of a boy playing in the rain.

It’s Sunday and I’m taking a walk in the park when out of the corner of my eye, I see a young boy in mid air ready to hit the ground. As I look closer, I see that he’s right above quite a large puddle! He hits the ground and it looks like there has been a water explosion! It stuns me and without noticing, a fat raindrop lands in my eye. It takes five minutes to regain my full sight. During that time, I manage to smell wet tar lurking around the air. I can now see clearly and I spot the boy’s raincoat it’s covered in mud! The mud on the jacket looks like a child’s finger painting and has transformed the jacket from bright yellow to a rather dull brown. I turn around to talk to my friend and hear the boy yelling with excitement and then I see him running up to his father once I turn back. As I start walking home, I think back to when the boy was above the puddle and think to myself, wouldn’t that be fun to do.
