Personification

Team Electrify have done some amazing poetry using personification. We will be publishing these and putting them on the blog when they are finished. We started with an object (e.g. pencil) and then gave it some human like qualities.
Annabelle sent me a challenge: to guess what two objects she used for her poems.

He grows in the sun and shelters me in rain.
I climb through his tangle of arms while he protects me.
He sways to the breeze rocking me to sleep and moans to be free in storms.
He sees me protecting me in every type of weather.
What am I?

She listens to what I do and is never faulty.

She says, "use me, use me. No one else."

She runs across the ground as though she is being chased.

She sees the world I imagine and puts it in words for me.

What am I?

What do you think she is writing about

Writing Seeds

Over the holidays the children have been gathering 'treasures' to put into a "Writing Seeds" book. A seed is something that may be special to them and it will be used to give them ideas for their writing this term. We held a competition over the holidays for the best seed book cover and congratulations to Alice T and Haidee who won this.
