More Show not tell!
We were inspired by a clip from Harry Potter and look at these wonderful sentences:
It was a dark day and Harry came swooping around the castle on his broom stick. He felt nervous. The dark creature loomed from behind a fire lit rock. Nasty, swooping, scaly wings spread across the sky. Silence began. Hannah
Harry hid behind a magma rock. As he tried to catch his breath a burst of flames melted the rock. Harry called his broom, voom, wish it flew as fast as a cheetah. Sapphira
He was ready to pounce on Harry who was screaming and puffing under a cracking rock. Kate
Nervously Harry approached the dome waiting for the giant creature to pounce. Elizabeth

Wow, what fantastic writers these Middle Roomers are. Today during cooking we made a Y chart and have a look at some of the fantastic sentences we came up with...
Squeak, splash, splosh immediately water rushes out at the speed of light and wraps around the messy potatoes. Elizabeth
Slowly my moist fingers slid to the handle of the sharp, wet knife. Splish went the water, squelch went the rice. Suddenly out came the seaweed marching along the dirty table top. (Great use of personification Hannah!)
Bubbles were popping slowly, rising from the lava. The tap was popping out fire while devils attacked me. Thomas
Sizzling like a bbq. It was small and delicious melting in my mouth. It's like a chocolate delight and the apple has a crunchy texture. Kristal
Slowly my fingers go down into the wet, slimey, squishy rice. My fingers are slowly rolling the bumpy, squishy sushi. Meila
Squish, splosh, splash the dishes are done shiney as gold. Theo
The cheesey, crispy potatoes started to crunch up between my teeth. The sour cream sothed my throat. Tom
