This week we have been learning about stories of mystery and suspense.
Your task is to write a description of this spooky setting.
Remember to use lots of interesting adjectives and at least one simile.
You need to put just your first name at the bottom of your writing so that we know it is yours!
I'm looking forward to reading them. Don't forget to comment on each others work! Your homework must have been completed by Friday 18th September.
Mr Goddard is showing the class how to fill out their homework.

This haunted house is very spooky. The iron gates are broken and the house looks dirty and horrible. It is very big and very dark, with only one light on at the top of the house. The garden looks like a grave yard, with dead trees and plants and angry gargoyles that peer over you and follow you around. The windows are dark and broken.

You have worked well with some support to think about building the scene from the picture given. A great first piece of homework!

It is dark and daunting and as cold as ice. The run down ghostly mansion is as tall as a giraffe and as wide as the Amazon river. As lightning strikes the mansion appears deadly and disturbing. The path is laden with crunchy leaves and the prickly branches are as sharp as a razor. The ghoulish gargoyles guard the entrance, perched along the iron gates, they look as fierce as a lion. A bright light shines through the topmost window. The windows below are broken and shabby. I wonder who is in there?
ReplyDeleteARNAV
You have used so many similes that are very descriptive and help me to imagine what it would be like to be there. I am not sure I would like to be there though as it is very spooky. Super work, Arnav!
DeleteIt's dark, an old spooky house and there is bats flying in the sky. It look scared to me. There was thundering and gargoyles standing front of the gate. It looks like a glooming Halloween church. There is only one light on but the windows have the spider webs on.
ReplyDeleteAnu
You have included some spooky related items such as gargoyles and thought about the thunder which help create a spooky scene. Great work, Anu!
DeleteIt is a haunted house. The lightening crashes over it. The devil statues outside make it look haunted... It is as dark as the bottom of a well.
ReplyDeleteby mal
A well thought out simile and some short and sharp descriptive sentence to build a scene. Well done, Mal!
DeleteThe rotten,broken gate is wide open welcoming victims in to the mysterious house. The feircesome phantoms are guarding the ghostly house. The haunted house has a light flickering at the attic window.The mouldy house has poison ivy climbing up it. The lightening struck the house like a beaming sun. The bugs swooping in the hazy sky.The enormous entrance has a huge door.
ReplyDeleteYour similes and adjectives are making me scared to go there, which means that you must have written a super paragraph about the picture. Great work, Ram!
DeleteWelcome to the house of TERROR...
ReplyDeleteOne day I was walking back from my school through an empty lane and saw a haunted house. I was not scared so I looked around and spotted a camera on the front wall of the house and I quickly crawled under it. I slowly opened the door which resulted in a screech. I heard the voice “You finally came here I was waiting for you!!!” My eyes went blank, I peeped around EVERYWERE but found no one around. I saw a box next to me and I carefully opened it to find a hole inside so I took a deep breath and jumped in. It lead to a room which had a … GHOST!!! The ghost was as scary as a dinosaur and it made me shiver and scream.

This was full of suspense as you approached and entered the house. I especially like the correct use of ellipses and exclamation marks. Super effort, Ananya!
ReplyDeleteThankyou Mr Goddard for such a lovely comment!!!
ReplyDeleteThe Haunted House
ReplyDeleteIt was no moon day and its very cloudy. There is lightning all over the sky. I went to buy groceries on my return I passed by a spooky house. Nobody goes near the house. The shape of the house looks like a bat. The gates of the house were broken. I saw lights were turned on at the top of the house and because of it the windows resembles the eyes of a bat and the lightning on top of the house looks like bat's wings. I felt very scared and ran home very quickly.
-Kaushal
I like that you have described all the different parts of the picture. Your writing also flows very nicely. Super effort, Kaushal.
DeleteThis house looks really creepy, dark, old, ugly, tall and not use for years.
ReplyDeleteBy Bartek
You have tried hard with your adjectives. Well done, Bartek.
DeleteIt was a no moon night the thunder and lightning struck through the wind. The thunder sounded like clashing symbol. There was a light at the at the haunted house there were lots of cracks . lightning struck like arrows came from the sky.

I was on my way to the park when the path stopped. Instead of seeing an empty path I saw a house that had smashed windows. I walked to the door and when I opened it everything turned as dark as a dungeon!!! Then a strong wind blew, I pushed myself into the house. Then I heard a sound of bats, I closed my eyes. When I opened my eyes, I saw huge creepy spider webs all around me. Before anything scared me I ran all the way back home.

I didn’t know that there was a secret room in my house. Until I heard a sound from nowhere. Soon I went on the hunt to find out where the noise was coming from. I checked all rooms but found no sign.
ReplyDeletePLAN TIME!!!
I thought of an idea : to call my friends. As soon as we hear the noise again, we follow …spy… see… and catch!!!
PLAN PREPARED
Little while later, me and my friends heard a noise… it was a weird noise, it sounded like thunder …it was as loud as a huge crashing thunder storm!!!
WHATS NEXT???...
sorry Mr Goddard I forgot to put my name Ananya
ReplyDeleteThere was a little girl went inside the door and there was some brown bats were flying all over the place . There was spooky shadow and there was some freaky voices all the places and the little girl jumped and ran away.
