In English today we had an experience lesson. We used the musical instruments to create a soundscape to mimic a storm at sea, building up to a boat capsizing. The results were amazing! We then used this experience to write a collaborative class poem.
Storm Poem by Year 6
Pitter Patter! Drizzle hazed
The mist thickened; it grew heavier
The ratter-tat of the rain dripped gently on the ocean
The storm was getting angrier!
Down, down came the rain
The sea started to complain.
Splat! Rain sprayed the deck
The air became denser; it was nearly impossible to see
Thick fog covered the sea like a carpet
The storm was getting angrier!
Then suddenly, the fog came
And so did the rain.
Splash! The endless water poured down
The fog and the rain created a blanket over the landscape
Nobody, absolutely nobody, knew it was coming
The storm was getting angrier!
The clouds were pouring with heavy rain
The sky was raging as if it was in pain.
Crack! A rumble of rage
The gloomy clouds darken above
A bolt of thunderous lightning struck across the sky
The storm was getting angrier!
The lightning bolted viciously
Across the sky maliciously.
Bang! The thunder was getting closer
It was spreading for miles
Growling like a hungry stomach
The storm was getting angrier!
The storm was louder than ever
It was going on forever.
Crash! The thunder struck again
The boat filled rapidly with water
The ship was slowly tilting to its side
The storm was getting angrier!
The boat dipped and began to dim
Then all of a sudden, we all had to swim!
