We've been developing our creative writing skills this week. The challenge was to think of an animal that we shared similar characteristics with, and write all about it! We all enjoyed sharing our writing with others:
Have a read of these wonderful examples:
Trevor the Plover
I am
like a plover, because they’re small and like to just chill out. I am like a
plover when I just sit down for hours watching TV. A plover sits on its eggs
for countless hours steering at sunsets and the cold blue sky as the clouds
slowly float by. Like a plover I like to fly around and lie down when I’m out
of breath.
Plovers
are territorial and aggressive, because they don’t like being bullied or pushed
around I hate being pushed around and bullied by others too. I don’t like things
being moved or stolen from me, like Yorkshire pudding being stolen from my
mouth when I’m having a roast dinner. I don’t like things being moved in my room.
I’m
creative like a plover building a nest. I like thinking of things unique and
original things, just like a plover. Some of the unique and original things I
do are drawing differently to others, because I have my own and unique ways of
drawing things. By original, I mean I like to think outside of the box.
Plovers
are annoying and don’t stop chittering and chattering. All they do is talk
about things. I’m a chatterbox, too, although I am shy around new people.
I
like playing around and exploring, like when I’m in water. I like playing, but
I hate racing others in water or going a long way out to sea, just like the
plover. I like exploring just like a plover likes to fly around to different
places, I like to explore new things like the glow worm caves at Sixtus Lodge.
Alexander the Galapagos Iguana
Galapagos
Iguana’s are always in a large colony.
They feed in colonies, and they live in colonies. I am like an iguana in this way because I
enjoy the company of others, I talk with others and I eat with others. I am always with my friends at school, and
when I am at home my family is always there.
Iguanas
are very fit. They swim for hours a day
and often have to run from predators.
Like the iguana, I love to swim for hours; especially in the sea. I like to run and when we play games at
school I run very fast from the tagger.
Iguanas
are mainly herbivores, eating seaweed from the bottom of the sea floor. However they are also scavengers and often
eat pieces of stray meat from deceased animals, be it a tortoise or a dead
iguana. Like the iguana I like salads
and seaweed (mainly on crackers or wrapped around sushi), I also love
meat. My favourite food is meat and
salad. Therefore like the iguana, I am fit and take whatever food comes my way.
Iguanas
have tough skin and sharp spikes. I have
tough, rough skin. In the morning my
hair has a life of its own and is spikey and sticking out at odd angels. These things give me the traits of an Iguana
and the Iguana the traits of a strange boy living in New Zealand.
Juliet the Border Collie
Border
collies love to laze around outdoors in the sun, but they also have a fierce
side. They are friendly, energetic and
of course just a tad lazy. There is no
better animal than a border collie that could be used to describe me. Often I go around easily pleased, but I do
have a particularly fierce side.
Border
collies are often relaxing in the sun without a care in the world. I sure do love sleeping, lazing around and
everybody knows never to wake me up when I’m sleeping in.
Border
collies are hard workers and always try their very best. During school and at home when I am needed
for a job, I do it. Also I strive to
achieve my very best and put hours of work into something to make it of a high
standard. Border collies plough through their work and as long as they are well
fed they will stay in an excellent mood.
I’m the same. I need food otherwise I get cranky and unreasonable.
These
beautiful dogs are intelligent and are aware of the tiniest things. Border collies are perfectionists and I am
the same, because I don’t see the point in doing a job and not doing it
well. Border collies bound around the
place with their thoughts running wild.
I certainly think about my plans in school work, games and everyday
activities. Some people say I overthink
things, but at least then it goes according to plan.
Jasmine the Labrador
Labradors
are funny dogs who are very good companions. They are very friendly and cuddly
and are very welcoming dogs. I think I would be like a labrador because I am
quite friendly and loving too. They are quite big and tall, just like me. They
have this funny look on their face telling people that they are a bit goofy.
That is like me because you will often find me daydreaming!
Their
personality matches my personality almost exactly! They are playful and are
always hyped up. I get hyped up too sometimes when I have been running around a
lot. They like to explore and they don’t mind getting their paws dirty.
Labradors have a very bubbly personality just like me because I always have a
smile on my face. One of the main things
that they have in common with me is that they are always hungry! They will eat
a lot of food in one day and won’t be satisfied!
If
you were to describe a labrador and its habits, you would probably say that
they are, playful, chilled, social, and not the smartest of dogs. This compares
to me because I can be crazy some days and chilled the next.
Elen the Panther
Panthers
are extremely active. They are very good runners, swimmers and climbers. In
this way I am like a panther, because there isn’t a day in the week where I do
not play a sport. I am very active and sporty. This makes me like a panther.
Panthers
are sleek, muscly and beautiful. When they are catching prey, panthers are
elegant and they always make it look easy. Many people have told me that when I
am swimming I look like I am not even trying.
In my own opinion this makes me like a panther.
Panthers
have their own personal traits which are not unlike mine. For example, I am
very determined and I will not give up easily, I am very stubborn. I am
confident with everything I do, from making friends to competing in a sport. A
panther is like this, because if they want to get something to eat they will not
give up until they are collapsing with exhaustion or they are up a tree eating
their dinner. Panthers mostly have yellow eyes, which makes them have a sly
look about them. They are also very cunning. This makes me like them, because I
can be quite sly when I want to be.
Panthers
love lying in the sun and having their alone time. I am like this, because I
love my alone time and there is nothing better than relaxing in the sun on a
hot day. If you have ever seen a picture of a panther they are often doing one
of three things, catching prey, roaming or relaxing in the sun. Whenever I am
on the beach I will do my playing first then I will crash down on the beach
towel and attempt to get a tan!
