Room 4 continue to write descriptions of things that they see. We talked a lot about all of the things in this picture that we could include in a description. Read some of our descriptions below.

Flames, licking the roof and gutter while chewing down all of the wooden planks. The reddish, orangey flames brightening up the whole of the section. The were windows all shattered since the fire made it so hot it exploded. The blue smoke is burning the paint and the ashes are surrounding the ground. There is charcoal all over the front porch, sitting, still hot. The door had been all burnt down to pieces. Grass is still shining green but the flames have ruined the picture. The smoke is a big cloud heading to the right.  - Josie

Fire bursting out of the house like a dragon breathing fire. There are wooden planks turning into ashes and smoke filling the air. The surroundings are filled with glass poking out from the windows and flames firing out like one thousand fire-flies. The inside is all rusty and rickety. - Arnika

There's a fire burning flames, swishing around smoke, flying into the air like birds soaring. Wooden planks burning, making the fire bigger. Glass from the windows shatters to the ground. The door is open so fire is getting inside the house. The roof is surrounded by burning flames. The grass has glass all over. The fire is getting even bigger and bigger and then blue smoke appears. Then the paint is gone. It was like is disappeared randomly and the smoke is really dark black and the colour of the fire is orange and red. The only thing left is ash and charcoal. - Isla

Boom! A house just set to flames. Meanwhile, the smoke is getting bigger and bigger as it flys to the right. Chunks of ash drop down like a falling waterfall. The glass on the window smashes like an ant getting squashed. The door has been demolished by the flames. The roof caves in likes it is moth eaten. - Alesana.

Crackle, crackle goes the fire as it surns the dry, wooden planks. Juicy green grass does not match the orange and red flames or the dark grey smoke. You can see birds chking from the deadly ash flying through the air. There's glass melting on the ground and the windows are just holes in the walls. The door is burnt down. You can't see any surroundings apart from the grass and the trees. - Samara

There are flames bursting out of the house with smoke filling in arouns them, shading the sun more and more as the wind made the flames grow stronger until the sun was covered. The windows were shattering as glass fell flat on the ground with sharp bits sticking up. Some were so sharp they made holes in the ground. Light blue planks fell to the ground in one million tiny pieces all covered in little holes from all the nails and screws that were in them. The trees around the house started glowing with red sparks and ash fell down to the nice, wet grass. Inside the manky, burnt-down house there were headless dolls, an old persons rocking chair and spider webs everywhere. - Alyssa

Fire spreads around the house like a dragon blowing fire onto it. Wooden planks feed the fire. Charcoal is crumbling off the roof like weet-bix getting crushed up. Glass is smashed from people trying to escape so they didn't get trapped. Blue smoke sneaks around the corner. Clouds of black smoke cover up the air. Glossy, green grass is soon going to turn into black. Tall pine trees only metres away. Bright read and orange fire is still spreading. - Bryce.

  1. WOW, WOW, WOW - these pieces of descriptive writing are OUTSTANDING!!! I love the similes that you chose - they were very effective. Also did you realise that some of you had used a special effect called personification where you give something non-human, human-like characteristics e.g. Bryce - wooden planks FEED the fire, Josie - flames LICKING the roof. Excellent! Mrs O
