Couplet Poem

We are learning how to write a couplet poem. We looked at an example on page 32  of SJ 1.4 1992.

Then we had to choose our own noun, two opposite adjectives to describe it, think of rhyming words

for the end of each line and finish the last line with an onomatopoeia word repeated 3 times. Here is

my work.

Writing Week 7 Environmental Writing ‘The old church’.

 One of our writing activities this week was to write about the old church next to our school using lots of adjectives, adverbs and other kinds of descriptive language. First we all went over to the church to look at the outside of it and use our senses to notice all the building’s colours, textures and shapes. Here is my work.

Today we went to the old church next to my school.

I wrote some words about it. Here are my words:

Hole above the door, has a bell, new inside,

Skinny windows, rust, moss, lonely, Deserted,

steeple, probably older than my nana’s husband,

twisted trees, pointy roof. We looked around the back

and front and the sides and looked in the keyholes and

saw stuff. I also sketched a picture.

Here's my sketch
