You will show what you know about adjectives, simile, metaphor and personification.
This challenge consists of more than one part, but you can chose to do all of them or just one. You chose.
Part One:
Using the activity you have done in class about explaining what it is like to be in a a running race, recreate that story here on our blog or take another one and explain using sight, sound, and feelings. An example could be a swimming race, bike jump, skateboard trick, or any other physical challenge.
Part Two:
Adjectives. Like the task in class, you are to chose a noun or pronoun to begin with and then add in adjectives and descriptive features to make it really interesting. Check out the ones on display in our room for insipration. Some starting nouns may be - house, door, field, window, winter, trees, flower or bicycle.
Part Three:
Study the picture below and use these three things. Make one true statement, one descriptive statement and one thought statement. We have done this in class also, see the activity on our wall for inspiration. I will do a quick example for you.
True: The woman's head dress is multicoloured.
Descriptive: One thousand dark memories show in her eyes and haunt her, like lost dreams that she cannot quite remember.
Thought: I am, I can, I will.
Use this picture:
Write on Microsoft Word or Google Apps first. Have a parent check it, make sure there are NO spelling errors and your punctuation is correct. Then copy and paste it into our blog posting area.
Have fun and looking forward to seeing what you have in store for us.

WOMAN
Her dark black heart warming eyes strikes me in the head like a crashing thunderbolt.
Her head dress stands tall and proud as if it had a mind of its own with its dangling medal of honor.
She stands and waits for the silent moment when she suddenly attracts her prey to her demanding will.
Thought
Peace, power, prosperity, and my pride.
The score sat on 2-2, the last goal waiting for me. I looked at the still strange ball then looked at the goal, I took a step each one getting faster.
My foot touched the ball letting it fly across the goal The goalie leaped, a piece of sweat dropped from his scared face, the wind rolled making me shiver with the ball that flew into the pole. It bounced on the goalie’s back and a goal came, the crowd screaming with excitement.
The trophy gleamed on me making me gold and shiny.
True-the women is wearing a traditional costume.
Descriptive-The gold shimmering necklace jangles like a bird chirp as she hears the bad news.
Thoughts-Is that the man I am forced to marry?
The Swimming Race
I stood behind the starting block waiting for the high pitched whistle to go. I stepped up onto the starting block - now I was waiting for the clapper to start the race. My stomach was churning and my heart was pounding.
The swimming pool had eight lanes and eight starting blocks so that meant eight people. It stretched out in front of me like an endless blue river.
“CLAP!” I dove off the block and into the freezing water, as soon as my hands touched the water I felt the shock of the cold water gripping me. It was too hard to tell who was winning - all I knew was that I was cold.
With 15 metres to go I was as cold as a cube of ice, so cold I couldn’t even feel myself. I looked to the side and the lanes were as bare as a cake without icing.
Only five metres to go now - I looked to the side and now there were seven swimmers next to me. I swam like I had never before and then…
THE SWIMMING RACE
(part 1)
I was waiting at the wet slippery staring line ready to swim like a shark.On your marks get set SNAP.I was of like lightning.My arms were turning like bullets coming from a machine gun.I was way ahead because the other racers were going as slow as a sloth. Almost there,just a few meters to go. Yes!!!! "I won" Then I slowly made my way out of the pool ah. Then I went to go sit back down waiting for my next race.
I stood at the pool's edge, like a statue. I got into my diving position and then came a big CLAP.
I shot into the water like a hi-speed bullet,as my arms spun round like a windmill.
I raced towords the finish line as I splashed water everywere. I wasn't fast enough.
Finally I caught up to the swimmer and shot past him. Speeding furiously, I saw the finish meters away, and dived at it.
"And the winner is Adam". I felt my chest burst with pride as I looked into my shining trophy.
I stood on the pool edge waiting for the whistle to go.The water glowed as the sun sprayed it's heat all over.On your marks get set snap.I dived like a dolphin. My feet pounded on the the water creating a trail of bubbles behind me.My arms went around in large loops like windmills.The other people were all in front of me. Once I realized I shot like a big,mad,crazy shark.I was half way there.My arms were goind around as fast as bullets.Every time I turned my to get alot of air that blew on my ice cold face.I was going fast as lightning.i was now passing everyone.To me they slow snails because they kept on going slower every second, but I kept on going faster because I am energetic.Iwas five centire meters away SMACK! MY hand hit the end. "Now the winner is Aidan!" Shouted Malcom
As I run I see the tight white ribbon in front of me.
I hear the heavy breathing behind me. “ I’m winning,” I told myself.
The finish is only a couple of meters away. I sprint faster then I ever have.
The scratchy ripping of the ribbon sounded like one thousand angels singing.
I walked happily back to the stands of the stadium where I was welcomed by a huge hug from my mum as she dragged me back to the track for the prize giving.
true-she has a costume on.
description-she should wear her costume with pride but all she feels is hate and sorrow as she stares into the nightmares of her future.
thought-this will not happen EVER!
Scary As my pillow was holding my head and my blanket layed on me from the waist down to my feet,untill i heard the bathroom door sliding.I got up and went near the door,then i heard something coming from upstairs, so i went upstairs and i saw alot of spiders,but after a moment they all disappeared without a trace.
Ski Tricks
I wait for the judges to announce the ski trick finals, “we have come to our decision the finalists are Josh, Leo and Oliver!” I leaped to my feet as my dark days were over now. It felt like there was 200 fire works exploding in my chest but it was only for a while.
Leo was to start first. We had to wait in a tent until it was our turn. I was up next. I needed at least 20 points.
Before I new it I was already half way down when I had performed an amazing front flip. My skis had come off. I tried putting them on in mid air but my head was spinning and my eye balls felt like they had come out of there sockets.
I had let go when I heard a loud THUMP. I thought it was me, it was. I was still swerving up jumps. The finish was glinting in the sunlight. I was sure I hadn’t done well enough to win.
“Oliver that was astonishing 10pts.”
“Amazing 10pts.”
“Brilliant 10pts.”
The last judge “5pts.”
“Boo!” screamed the crowd.
I walked back as I kept asking my self. In the tent I felt like jumping in to the hottest of the hottest spas.
When josh walked in smiling I became nervous.
“We need to go out side” said Josh we went to a warm place the judge were discussing some thing
“The winner is Oliver with 35pts and the others not far behind” I knew that I won but I could not express the emotion because I was very proud.
THE END

Part one
I am waiting! Oh no it’s me, ME! I stand up by the curved part of the ledge. I pounce- the icy, cold water hits me like a jelly fish. I am in the lead. Oh no the water is pushing me back. I am losing my place. Forward, forward, forward I tell myself. I am back in the lead. I can hear the screams, room 18, room 18. Finally, I finish I won with room 18.
Part Three
1. The women has a gold necklace.
2. She thinks she will steal the world.
3. She is a thief with a fishy plan.
Standing in line, dressed in her heavy costume, her dark heart whizzed like the speed of light. She reached for the jagged knife in her hidden pocket. Sweat poured down her face, making her feel like she had been standing in the rain for hours. SHE HAD TO DO IT NOW!!!!!!
