Take a look at some of our writing. Mrs Dodd was impressed too with the willingness of our students to write. We enjoy sharing writing as we have confident writers in our learning hub.

Take a look at what our class have been doing for a writing task. Describe the colour red without using the word red and or describe a friend without using their name, age and where they come from. 

My Friend
This friend of mine is very tall, super fast and very talented at basketball. He has recently been to fancy Las Vegas for a few hot and humid weeks. He enjoys company and loves to play american football with Matthew and I. He has three pets, one dog called Jene and two cats called Hermione and Elvis. Last year he got into Canterbury for high jump and did the thirteen year old relay race with Kobe Tyler and I. Can you guess who?

This colour is the inside of a watermelon, a strawberry and a stop sign. This colour is a primary colour. If you mix it with blue it makes the bursting colour of purple. When you see this colour on a traffic light you have to STOP.  When you get hurt it is the colour of the blood that drips out of your body. You may see this colour on a common rose, or in a field of bright poppies. You use this colour when you are correcting your spelling, and believe me I know, because I’ve used it A LOT.  Some people see this as a bad colour. Some people hate this colour, because it only reminds them of clowns or blood. What colour am I describing?
Maya Taylor

The colour I am thinking of is what people think of at Valentine’s Day.
When you get a cut the colour can drip from your hand.
Your face gets this colour when you get angry.
It’s the colour of burning fire.
It’s the colour of a shining sunset.
Toby Moore

Guess Who She Is ?
She has long hair as bright as the sun, it shimmers when dry and darkens when wet, she has blueish greenish eyes, she has a lot of humour, we see each other all the time. We laugh together, we prance together and we smile with each other.
Can you guess who?
Brooke

My day-making friend has the hair of a long, dark cocoa waterful that ends just above the bottom of her spine. Her grey -ish blue eyes reflect warmth that just makes you want to smile. Her skills at basketball make all the boys jealous, and her football skills make the rest trip and fall to the ground. Her quiet voice doesn’t compare to the personality she has. Her handwriting is very neat so that you can see every letter clearly. If you gave her anything mint she would go nuts and it would be gone before you knew it. If I could choose anyone to go shopping with, it would be her.
Who is she?
Phoebe

Can you guess who?

The colour I am talking about today is a colour of a rose. This is the rich roaring colour of human flesh being ripped open, juicy strawberries and my cousin’s old scooter. It is also the colour of my teachers desk. Did you know the colour I am talking about is also a colour in the rainbow, as well as the colour of my heart - it is also my cute little cousins favourite colour.
Paige Tavendale 

It can be a rosy colour like a sun setting on the horizon and a dark colour like the night sky.This colour can be used for stop signs, yummy strawberries, thick blood, towering walls and it is the first colour of the rainbow. What is my colour?
Leo

My friend who I am thinking of has brown hair down to her shoulders, when the light reflects off it you will see it shining like the person off the Pantene ad. Her brown eyes look a bit like the Cadbury milk chocolate. Her favourite colour is lime green, just like the lime flavoured fruit bursts. She loves the taste and juiciness and color of watermelons, the saltiness of olives, the crispiness of potatoes and the flavour of salami. If you wanted anyone to help you with your singing, she is the one to talk to. She tries her best at everything. Who is she?
Grace

What is my colour?

The colour I am talking about is the colour of a ripe strawberry and the colour of an original bright LA Ferrari. When this colour is mixed with blue it makes a deep dark purple. This colour is the colour of normal human blood. This colour sometimes represents danger. This colour also represents the BNZ Crusaders Rugby team.

What is my colour?

Riley …...

“Hey, let’s have a ride in through the sparkeley fresh salty water!” squealed Emma.

“Nah, Daisy gets really nervous and twitchy in the water. I’m afraid she might get a fright with the waves crashing on each other and break into a angry gallop!” said Erin concerningly.

“Maybe if she walks calmly at a smooth pace next to Luna she might be okay?” said Emma hopefully.

“It’s okay she's still quite a green pony so I won’t push it. I’ll just canter next to you slipping round on the sunbright sand” replied Erin.

“Suit yourself! Hey, you wanna have a race to that decaying log over there?” Emma said excitedly.

“Duhh! Ready”

“Set”

“GO!”

My Friend

My friend is a girl. She blesses the wandering eye with her vibrant golden locks that sway in the stray wind.

She is extremely loud and pretty pathetic at keeping secrets, although she is a wonderful friend.

There is never a moment where her skin is bare of black ink, which would surprise you, since she hates doing her school work.

All she talks about is boys (mostly YouTubers) and the latest gossip of Amberley.

Can you guess who she is?

Leah

Guess the colour?

This bright, shining, beautiful and dark colour is the bursting of blood dripping on the ground. It's the heart of strawberries, it's the blazing fire bursting melting my skin.

Cory.W

This colour can be described as a ripe, strawberry that melts in your mouth. It is a colour that represents valentines day. Sometimes it’s the colour of roses. It can be seen as a strong colour and an angry colour. People sometimes turn this colour when they are nervous or embarrassed.

It’s the colour of fresh ripe human blood when you slice open your skin.

People sometimes dye their hair this colour.That’s how I would describe this colour.

Molly Shepherd

It’s the brightening colour of a juicy strawberry, as bright as wet blood and also my favourite colour. It’s the colour of a flamboyant rose. It’s the colour of the Wiggles car. If you mix it with white pink with appear. It’s the colour of the Crusaders flag.

Ceydez Jones 

It’s a vibrant and beautiful colour. It can also be the taste of a juicy strawberries. Of course it’s the colour of love. It’s the colour of blood.  Some people dye their hair this colour. Roses can also be this colour. Sometimes this can be a good colour or a bad colour.

- Meg 

Her hair is as dark as the night. It sparkles when it's wet and glows when it’s dry. My best friend is just a bit shorter than me. They’re okay at swimming. They have two brothers and shes is kind and caring. She’s sometimes on the bus but most of the time she bikes with me. My friend has dark eyes and blue earrings. Who is it?      Nikita

It’s inside of our body when we bleed this colour, we edit our writing with this colour. A fire truck is also this colour. Poppies and roses are often this colour. This colour represents valentines day and specifically love.          Mitchell

I'm the colour that everyone fears to see dripping from someone. I’m a dark colour darker than crimson. I come from lots of animals. I flow out when you get sliced.  Dion Jerebine
