This week we've been doing character writing on someone who is important to us. My goal for this was to describe her as well as a can. I hope you enjoy reading it.

Her brown thin hair with grey streaks never alters-  She relies on her car mirror to check that her hair is partially okay, most of the time it is.
She has Intensely green eyes that hide behind her modest glasses.
Her wrinkles underneath her eyes and stress marks on her forehead reflect her age. Numerous freckles are scattered along her nose and cheeks,Whenever she is going somewhere important she always has glossy pink lipstick on. Her cheeks go a peachy red like a soft pink rose  when she been working hard in the garden.

Whenever Grandma comes across someone she knows she will start talking. She will always talk about the latest thing she's doing like gardening or her recent bowls game. When I stay at her house she always makes me 2-minute noodles and talks to me about what's she's been baking. Normally when I stay there you’ll hear her say ‘Niel’ really loud in her high pitched voice. In her spare time she likes to do a variety of things such as: fixing up hems on clothes, or practising for bowls, watching us grandkids play sport and doing the odd job in her garden.  Grandma has a pretty big garden and see finds time to to keep it under control. She also likes to cook my favourite hedgehog biscuits.  

Grandma is known as someone who is helpful and trustful. She is unique because she has so many different hobbies like: gardening, farming,sewing,bowling, cooking even doing the odd puzzle.  Grandma has taught me many skills  like how to bake hedgehogs and garden numerous plants and vegetables. Grandma even does things for other like fixing the hems on clothes and patching up holes, She even fixies ball dresses for other people. Grandma has always been there for me and has taught multiple skills and that to me makes her extraordinary.

Wanaka

I am learning to write a piece of prose-  a sketch with detailed words, about a particular place, that is very important to me I know I have achieved this when I can describe this sketch of the place,in specific detail. To do this I need to:Use specific nouns and Activate the nouns with strong verbs


The smell of petrol burning tickles my nose as I reach for my towel.The murky mountain ranges with a road wrapped around  is hidden with masses of native trees. Numerous boats stretch along the waterfront -bunches of people relaxing alongside. Populous Kowhais spread along the beach as the occasional swing hangs down. Further along there is a substantial creek continuously gushing with pure water.

I am learning to write a memoir poem. (This recalls a moment in time from my past that links to an emotion I felt at that time) The emotion I have chosen to link my memoir to is….
In my memoir I describe the scene and situation using strong adjective, nouns and verbs.
I hope you enjoy it.


Deep Cove is usual enough
Misty Clouds surround the mountain ranges  ,  While the dull water  takes it’s course, Keas chirp among the mass of native trees.
An ordinary school doing ordinary things.
The drained dingy powers on,the worthless rods decay in our hands, we try to catch the greedy fish.
Rods winding in, hopeful for a shark
Hopeful, devastated, agitated

But what for?
