Some AMAZING Writing!!!

Just thought you needed to read this amazing piece of writing by Jamie in Yr 4. She was writing from the perspective of a koala that had been trapped in the bushfires and her use of descriptive language is excellent. Well done Jamie!!!

Fire

(From the perspective of a Koala)

In the peaceful and quiet Northern Queensland bush, the green trees were withered with secrets. The dry grass swayed with the boiling wind. The birds screeched miserably. Wait… do I smell smoke?

The orange, hot glow melts my eyes. Smoke fills the sky with infinite blackness. I'm feeling sick inside. Cockatoos fly from the deadly glow… I wish I could fly. Why do I feel faint? Oh boy, it's a FIRE!

Sirens wail, flames everywhere, scared feelings spread with the bushfire. It was devouring everything and wanted more. I climbed up, up, up but it only made me feel worse. Ouch! I think I just got burned.

The flames start to die down as heroes sprayed water at them. A person picks me up, am I finally safe? A few hours later I see ALIVE trees and fresh leaves.

In the end, happiness and life is back! Hundreds of Koalas are here healing, sleeping and eating. We all feel safe and welcome by the cool autumn breeze and clean water we get every single day. The fire was over. No more smoke and sickness, No more hurtful burns and injuries. Life is sprouting again, but this time MORE quiet and peaceful than ever!
