Enchanted Forest

Tree Trunks

The tree trunks were so tall it looked like a tower. The tree trunks were so thick and pointed it hurt just to touch it. I liked the tree trunks because it looked very unique and as I walked down the forest the tree trunks got thinner.

Leaves

The leaves were so pretty because each color was different. The leaves were very crinkled bust again as I walked down the forest each leave was getting smoother and smoother. For a Moment I thought the forest was enchanted.

Grass

The grass was so bright and it matched to leaves. It was colorful and it was amazing to see how many vibrant colors grass can be. The grass looked so beautiful that I just wanted to lay in it, SO I DID!!!!. It was so fun and it made me feel colorful.

Imagination

The sky was so beautiful it was matching the enchanted forest. I loved everything there but sadly i had to go home. When I got there I had taken a photo of the forest but when I looked at it the forest was plane old run down and rusty I had know idea why it looked like that so I went back and realized  it was just my imagination.

Coding certificate

Description: I did some coding and I got this certificate for finishing each level properly. There was 20 rounds and I passed all of them. It was lots of fun to do this because I haven't done coding in a while.

Beach

WALT: paint an image in the readers mind.

Ocean
The ocean was reflecting the sun which made it glimmer in daylight. It was so sparkly it made the whole beach look beautiful. Once I looked closely I saw all the lovely shallow waves crashing down onto the gold sand. The ocean was so pretty I just wanted to jump in it.

Sand
The sand was covered in the aqua ocean. The ocean made the sand shine its bright colors. There were beautiful shells everywhere and added more color to the sand. The color of the sand and ocean went beautifully together. I loved the color because it was very unique. It was very amazing to see what the ocean and sand could do together.

Sky
The sky was a very bright blue with a bit of shine from the gold glowing sun. the sky was shining very bright and matched the beautiful ocean. The sun was gold witched matched the sand. The sand and ocean went well together but it was nothing compared to the sun and the bright blue sky.

Sand castle
I built a sand castle and it started off very big. I wanted to leave it like that so I added lots of fun creative things to it. I added sharp pointy shells that added lots of different colors to it. After I did that I wanted to make it unique so I ripped up different pieces of fabric and I laid it around my sand castle.

Description:Mr Goodwin gave us a task and we had to come up with descriptive words in each sentence. We had to write at least 1 sentence for each paragraph. Room 7 had to write about any beach. the last paragraph was about something that isn't in the picture but could be.
