Winter Walk

Room 8 went on a walk in the apex on the first day of winter. We used our writers’ eyes to notice what has changed and notice things that happen in the winter.

After the walk we talked about what we had noticed and Miss Derhamy wrote down our thoughts. When we read back our writing we noticed it sounded like a poem. We had made a first day of winter poem.

    

The Winter Walk

The sky is greyish blue with long, thin, flat clouds.

The leaves are yellow, orange, brown, black and green.

The cheery tree has only a few

leaves left. It is naked and bare.

Everything is cold.

Everything is wet.

The ground is muddy.

The branches and leaves on the ground are starting to rot and they smell interesting.

There is water in the mud.

Today is the first day of winter.
