We have lots of tired children today, after the windy storm we had last night. We decided to do some creative writing about the wind, using language features such as similes, metaphors and alliteration to make our writing juicy.
We wrote one together then the children had a go at writing their own. check them out!
The Westerly Wind
The wind whistled and whined, as it whipped from the west.
It hit the house, like stampeding herd of bulls.
Its roar shook the windows, like an earthquke.
It rattled the chimney, as if it were an empty tin can.
Trees snapped like matchsticks.
Rubbish bins exploded onto the streets.
Houses creaked and groaned, like ghostly spirits screaming.
Sleep was an impossible task!
Litter, leaves, logs and lonely letterboxes left scattered.
All is quiet, the storm has passed.
Time for the clean up to begin.
The storm
The wind hit the house like a herd of rhinos.
The wind made tiles rittle and rattle.
Glass shattered like ripping paper.
The rain hit the windows, like rock hitting rock.
The wind passes, it was messy like my room.
For days, and days it might go on, but no one knows.
The clean up began.

The Thrashing Wind!
Thrashing wind going through Christchurch, as the lightning follows.
Massive pieces of corrugated iron flying through the air.
Big old trees roots are ripping out of the ground.
The trampolines were flying like a plane crashing.
