Room 20 created amazing moments in time pieces about a volcanic eruption. Here are a few amazing examples.

Deadly lava rolls down the volcano. BOOM! The lava hits the water. SPLASH! Peoplle scream in terror as the lava rushes down the volcano.

The sky turns black as the smoke covers the sky. People are horrified. I wonder how many volcanoes erupt a year?

Flaming, blazing hot magma flows down the huge volcano, as the cloudy smoke fills the sky. BOOM! The lava gets launched out like water in a sprinkler. People scream in terror as their village gets obliterated by the scorching hot lava. Blasting up the glowing lava turns the sky crimson while it illuminates the surrounding valley. Steaming the crystal clear lake boils while the pitch black ashes of the village blow away. I wonder how volcanoes are created.

Burning hot lava drooling fast as a tidal wave. Bright as the sun lava flows out of the volcano ash as a blanket covers everything around. I feel sad for any people who died in an exploding volcano.

Blasting lava quickly rises up into the gloomy sky. Bright glowing lights surround the top of the volcano, when the lava hits the water. BOOM! I wonder how the volcano erupts.

 A Cold Windy Morning

It was a cold windy morning 

I was walking through the forest.  

A blinding light shone through the dancing trees

I walked cautiously toward it 

I got to the light 

Standing there before me was a gigantic tree curving over me

I stared at it as if I was frozen

I slowly moved toward the tree and carefully put my hand on it 

The tree started to glow like the sun

There was a flash and I ended up back in my bedroom

My head was spinning and I felt really faint 

I was so disappointed that I could not see what other wonders lay in the magical tree

Enjoy these fantastic descriptive pieces by our room 17 writers. We have to be thankful for the thunderstorm - it prompted amazing pieces :)

 

The weather is stormy. It goes booming and crashing and the flashing is pink. Cassie

Lightning went zooming down with strong crashing rain. When the teacher was doing the roll, thunder crashed around.

 It flashed blue! Then there was a boom! It was noisy! The sky lit up!

 Suddenly I was woken up by the bang, boom and smash. My heart was pounding. It was crackling in the sky. I was afraid. It felt like I was falling off a huge cliff. 

Connor

When the big lightening came, I felt scared and I covered my ears.

Maya 

It was raining. Thunder cracked in the sky. Lightening flickered and the wind howled! Everything was silent. Only the soaking rain flickered through the howling wind. Then I heard lightning boom again. I skipped a heart beat. It was stormy weather. My shoes were soaked. Everything was thundery and rainy!

Mila 

 

When I woke up I heard thunder and lightning. The thunder was louder than 70 elephants. A loud sound boomed and crashed on my roof. The thunder storm was loud!

This morning I was having breakfast when the lights started flickering and then it started pouring with rain . There was booming thunder and flashing lightning.

This morning when I went to school there was a surprising, striking flash of lightning.

The clapping thunder echoed through the sky. The air was stuffy and clouds filled the sky. The rain crashed down. I saw flickering lightning light up the stormy day. I was drenched by the time I got to my classroom.

Hazel

 

The lightening was cool. I loved it. I went outside. It was raining fast. I got a big fright.

Sophie

There was lightning and loud thunder. Dark thunder boomed down. The rain hailed down from the sky. It got me soaking wet.

Blake  

This morning the lightning and thunder woke me up! When I was having breakfast I heard thunder. My heart was pounding and the hammering rain just went on and on! When I went to the car I sprinted to it but I got soaking wet. I was really cold. I tried to stay under the shelter to get to class.

The Thunderstorm - Year 2 ESOL group

 I typed up the texts by these incredibly talented year 2 English language learners and fixed a few little spelling mistakes. All the wonderful words and sentences were created independently though. 

The thunder clouds covered the sky. I thought it was midnight. My mum was waking up because of the thunder. When my mum woke, she thought it was midnight too. Then she looked at her phone. It was actually seven o'clock. The thunder sounded like an explosion. I like the thunder. But everybody else is scared of the thunder. When my friend is sharing her news when she said about the thunder, the thunder suddemly boomed loudly. My sister was not scared too.

By Grace, room 10

I hear the thunder. Lightning is like a flash. The sky is dark. The thunder is rumbling.

By Ricky, room 10

The pond was filling up this morning because of the rain. The rain was heavy. It was hitting my roof. I didn't really like this morning. The thunder sounded like a dragon breathing fire. The sky was black. The clouds were shutting out the light.

By Leveke, room 11

The thunder sounded like a dragon breathing fire. The pond was filling up with water. Lightning lit up my room. The sky was dark.

By Jona, room 11

Celebrate Desmond's piece about kereru with us. What an outstanding year 2 writer. Wow!

The kereru has blood red claws, lovely whipping wings that beat across the sky, a beautiful magenta beak that pecks the ground.

Oh, the scarlet eyes that twitch around. Many colours cloak him with so much feathers.

Kereru are amazing.

Some other birds came to join me and some emerald green leaves surrounded us. The sunset set in the distance.

Oh, the ruby red flowers that settled on the ground below us.

Some squirrels stuttered down below our feet.

My friend flew away.

Purple is excited

I can jump around and make a mess

Be optimistic and curious

Can’t wait to go to my favourite place

So joyful
