Helen Taylor - Illustrator!

Rimu class was lucky enough to have an Author/ Illustrator (Helen Taylor) to come in and teach us how to make books and she also wanted us to do some drawing and this is my duck or is it a pukeko?

I think that she could of been more better at explaining by not taking very long breaks in between sentences and to be more 'child friendly'.

100 Word Challenge

For the 100 Word Challenge this week I learnt how to use personification which is a powerful form of a metaphor. We had to write a few sentences with them in it. I hope you like my one!

The fireflies shone the way to my house. They are yellow with a tinge of gold. The trees swayed in the wind like little brothers having fights.The wind was gashing my flesh, it felt like bees stinging me.

The ground was as soft as a pillow. The sky was the same colour as hazelnut crunch. The trees in the distance waited for my arrival. I was walking through paradise.

I heard the water in the creek falling down the waterfall

The fireflies said goodbye as I walked on.
