Environmental Writing

Today the class had an opportunity to go out side to do some environmental sensory writing.

Here are some examples of what a few children wrote.

They were all amazing....

Sitting on a bench and looking around I hear construction workers hammering.

I see insects buzzing around the sweet smelling flowers.

I feel peaceful,  yet chaotic.

Leaves and branches sway in a gentle breeze.

Ants scurry.

Clouds slowly dance across the sky.

The hot sun beats down.

Birds soar on the wind.

The construction rumbling like a herd of bulls. Wind gently whistles in my ear. Trees gently wave like saying goodbye forever. 
Birds hovering the sky doing figure 8’s. The grass lies motionless. Ants crawling on the ground like panthers sweeping the jungle. the smell of dust surrounds  us. 
The heat is like a video game getting harder and hotter.

By Joshua

Sitting on an artificial tree trunk, I watch plants sway and birds fly off into the distance. Bees buzz around flowers that sway and try to push them away.Tall trees are standing fighting against the gentle breeze,  there thin leafy branches dancing. The crunching sound of people walking on pebbles is like potato chips crunching, making me hungry. The grass looks squashed  and defeated as they lie there on the soft dirt. In the afternoon it is hot but in the morning it is not. There is a spiral just standing there looking like a snail shell. A house standing at  the edge of a hill.

Crazed woodcutters occurred in the peaceful view, causing chaos and destruction.

As busy as bees, soaring birds fluttered with their gliding wings, finding a home.

Flies, birds, bees, all together finding themselves in the clouds, a peaceful view.

White fluffy clouds like cotton candy, emerging from each sides, forming into other shapes.

A bright glowing beam of light from the sun poured on me, like a bucket filled with infinite water splashed on my poor head.

Grass, grass, grass, a field filled with green enriched grass.

Trees covered in attractive beautiful flowers, so sleek like humongous pencils.

A breeze of wind splashed on my face, even though I was not wet.

Clouds slowly move across the sky. 

The sun pushes through the clouds forcing itself onto the world waking the day and forcing night away. 

Birds fly high across the cloudy sky soraring on the currents. 

Leaves gently sway on the breeze. 

 The sound of cicadas can be heard in the distance.
By Mr Simon

Butterflies fly in the natural sky and the trees dance as the wind blows along.

The flowers are blue.The wooden bridge is the passageway that people walk along and

it swings like crazy in the breeze. People having fun, they shout, laugh and giggle .
