Seagulls

Just before the holidays Room 4 children wrote about a picture of a little boy or girl (we're not sure which) chasing seagulls on a beach. The children included many interesting ideas and words in their writing. Here are four examples by Stella, Hadlee, Talei and Vinny.


                                   Seagull Chase

I can see some seagulls flying and some are not flying. I can see a girl chasing the seagulls. Seagulls are fun to chase, I love to chase seagulls. 
I can hear the seagulls squawking and I can hear the sea going sh-sh-sh-sh. I can hear the sand blowing away in the wind. The wind is blowing in her hair and her face.

                                  Seagull Chase

Seagulls are scruffy. I see a boy or a girl putting their arms out. I can also see the seagulls beady eyes. The boy or girl looks like they are screaming. He is also scaring the seagulls away.
I can feel the wind blowing in my face. I can hear the seagulls squawking and I can also hear the seagulls flapping their wings.
The boy or girl is running. I see the seagulls on the ground. The waves are making a noise like this shhhhhhhhh when they go to shore. It is tinkly a bit.

By Hadley 



The boy is chasing the seagulls away. The boy is excited to play too.
I can hear the waves splashing in the water. The sky is grey. 
I can see the scruffy seagulls. The birds are flying in the sky. The waves are splashing and the boy is running on the sand. The wind is blowing the boy’s hair.
The wet water is covering the sand and the sand is wet now.  The waves are going sh-sh-sh-sh.
Nine seagulls are flying in the sky. The sand is brown.

                                   Seagulls

I can see seagulls in the air and on the ground too.  I can see the sand getting blown around. I can see the waves splashing on the sand.
I can hear the wind. The seagull feathers are getting blown around. The wind is blowing harshly. It is not sunny today.
The seagulls are wet, the waves are making the sand wet. My feet are wet and sandy.
The seagulls are black and brown and mixed with white too. They are hungry. Their beady eyes are good at catching fish and crabs and small things also.
