My Taniwha - Writing

For the past few weeks we have been practising using descriptive language in our writing. We have been trying  to 'paint pictures with words.' We all got to invent our own taniwha. We all drew our own taniwha and then we had to write about it and describe what it looks like, what we do with our taniwha and what our taniwha is like. Then we read our work to a buddy and they had a go at drawing our taniwha.
