Descriptive writing

Kia ora,

Throughout lockdown school and in normal school we have been focusing on descriptive writing. I think I have definitely improved in metaphors and in hyperboles, smilies, personification and many more. Here is my newest descriptive writing piece.....

“Slurp” was the sound of the giraffe placing his purple tongue on his mango ice-cream. When he dipped his tongue on to the luscious ice-cream his heart leapt around his lungs with so much joy! He had never been filled with so much happiness before. His tongue would not let go of the ice-cream as he never wanted this feeling to end, so his tongue looked stuck to the ice-cream like glue. The giraffe was mindfully thinking of what was in front of him.  The children were so glad that the “eternity long line” was worth the long wait to see the giraffe eating ice-cream! The icy feel of the ice-cream on a hot summers day was just melting the giraffe down to his knees thinking about it. The giraffe curled his purple tongue around the ice-cream to slurp up all the good tastes. The fresh and cold smell of mango ice-cream made his taste buds fizz up with joy. The children roared laughing like lions watching the giraffe eat his ice-cream.

This is the picture it was based on:
