Using our senses

We are going to be taking part in a postcard exchange with Fernworth Primary School.

To do the exchange, we need to each write a lone of poetry on a postcard - so we have started learning about poetry and descriptive writing.

Today we found a spot to sit outside and used our five senses to describe our surroundings.

We came up with some great descriptions for our first time:

Sight	Hear	Feel
Blue sky and the pure white clouds Kids doing work peacefully Happy people playing in the pool The green field Splashing people in the sparkling pool Ants running up the rough bark in the big tree People playing tag People working very quietly Enormous field with bright green grass Big long trees Classes learning People playing The wooden playground New, square, shiny books Working, yelling kids The trees whooshing around Long slides The classroom that is shining bright The fluttering, dancing, graceful leaves Strong, firm bricks Light, bright sun	Loud, splashing, noisy kids Cicadas going zz zz and birds singing Planes going here and there People yelling in the sparkling water People screaming and playing in the pool Loud noises coming into my ears The breeze whooshing in my ears The birds chirping sweetly The roaring, crazy kids Huge steps coming on the floor	The smooth wind running through my fingers The rough bark The fresh wind whooshing on my face Hot sun burning Rough, ridgety wood Lumpy pole underneath my bottom and the warm soothing sun The hot sun burning through my skin Hard, soggy wood Hard, bumpy deck Yucky, crunchy leaves The rough wood on the train The wind blowing softly like a teddy bear The hard wood rubbing against my back
	Taste	Smell
	The beautiful breezy wind The air, salty like the ocean The cold, strong, blowing wind The fresh air The nice, cold, wet water The sweet wind	Stinky bird poo that smells like my brother’s nappy. Very muddy, yucky, smelly, disgusting dirt Supreme fluttering flowers Fresh air Brown bits of lumpy bark The nice fresh wind and the strong smell of leaves
