Alliteration

We have created our own portraits with an alliteration using our name. We had loads of fun writing and drawing. When we were creating our self portraits we weren't allowed to be facing the front, our eyes or head had to be turned. That was hard! We hope your enjoy hearing and seeing them.

The Worst Storm Ever By Brian

The Worst Storm Ever
It was a clear night. I could smell the fire burning and the hangi cooking it smelt soooooooo good.

Then... it all started

Flash, rumble, rumble, flash again “oh no”, I cried “a thunderstorm”.
I ran to unplug my radio BUT, to late lightning had stuck it. I was so horrified. But mum said it would still work so I did not worry and it turned out fine.
I just continued watching the storm and it was so fun.
What I saw was amazing it was this I saw the god of thunders fork piercing the heavens and I thought it would hit me. “Arrrrrrrrhhhhhhh” I yelled I heard A hungry lion roaring and I hid.

Then it all calmed down and it was sunny “wow” I thought that is finally over”


Then we had dinner and it was a hangi and it was delish. We went to bed and it was sooooo sticky and hot.
I thought the day was fun because it scared my sisters. Scary because it had sudden noises.
