elijahs Character portraits

This week room4 had to right a righting about a special person in our life that doesn't stay at your home so I did my teacher/principal because I felt she was easy to do.

We had to write specifically about skin,face,hair,voice,actions and personality. I hope you enjoy.

Her smooth tanned skin shines, when the sun hits it. The clean soft white skin stretches out where the veins hit.  Her rose red skin moves,  when she is laughing at me and josh’s arguments. The perfume small hitting us like  wind. The wrinkles on her feet going flat when she is walking around.

The big smile every day, as I walk through the door in the morning. The friendly look on her face smiling, when she is taking  at  assembly. The red lips being covered in crumbs at lunch when she eats. Her forehead wrinkles are sitting like a racetrack. The rose red checks going white again after a while of laughing like a little kid.

Her long dark hair waving at the bean table every day. Her black smooth hair is always tidy for us in the morning. The perfect straight hair slowly, turning gray whenever I look at her. Her never tied up hair scratching her back when she is talks to us. When I look very carefully I see some little red streaks,running through the hair like a blood flowing through the veins.

Her voice is engaging you to do all your work on time. The calming voice takes away my stress at writing. Her funny voice tells funny jokes, to are school. Her interesting voice telling us what to do at assembly. The way she slowly tells us what, to do at a year 6 outing. Her medium pitched voice talking calmly when, we do something wrong. Her fast movement speed when she needs to do something quickly. When she is listening to a boring story she put her hand on her checks. When her nose is itchy she itches the outside of her nose with her knuckle.

I remember her the most because she is my teacher. She influences others by encouraging room4 to finish to finish ther novel study, and writing . This person is special because she is my favorite teacher/principal and she works, hard for our school . The thing I treasure the most about her is that she is loyal to what she does. I think she is the best person to do because she is nearly alway near me to help me - I just need to look at her, even though sometimes she makes me use two popsicle sticks sometimes so I trade these in and can only ask for help two times!

the fog

I am learning to create an image in my mind, with a noun ( frost)  depicting the weather at this time of year in Southland.

I am then learning to write a description for this image,  using strong, appropriate and effective verbs to activate the nouns and one or two similes.

When I awake, it has appeared  like a white cloud dropping instantly to the ground

It covers our paddocks like a thick fluffy blanket,  sheep  camouflaged instantly

Bright headlights of the cars shimmer through the blanket of white, instantly warning of their presence like a lighthouse  guiding incoming boats

A once silver and black trampoline, merged with the wooden fence

Fog appearing, like a white cloud dropping instantly to the ground

prose Piece Two

Piece Two

Writing : I am learning to write a piece of prose-  a sketch with detailed words, about a particular PERSON , that is very important to me

I know I have achieved this when I can describe this sketch of this person,in specific detail. To do this I need to:

• Use specific nouns
• Activate the nouns with strong verbs

My special person has brown freckles which pop out of nowhere. Freckles covered nose sneezing a lot . forehead Wrinkles sit unevenly on his cheeks. Golden Hair smudging when he has his headphones. Red cheeks enlarging  when eating food at lunch.,Stuck Tongue liking a frozen pole at winter, Hairy Moustache growing a little bit more every day. When I stare really closely, microscopic sized freckles squeeze into little grooves. A special person, my friend.
