The children in Maple Class have been producing some excellent descriptive writing about a storm using personification.  Enjoy!

Maple Class - Personification

Eventually, the storm calmed down but there were still holes in the walls from the hard, heavy hailstones and there were still swirling whirlpools twisting in the sea.

Just as the whirlpools began to go away and the rain started to dry, some dark clouds started to appear. "Oh no..." the people said, "It's a, it's a........ THUNDER STORM!!!"

A bit later, small, delicate raindrops fell. Well, at least the people thought they were delicate.....

Like an ENORMOUS monster, a whirlpool swallowed a little, innocent boat whole.

A small period of time after that, they started falling heavily and were very hard. One of the sharp raindrops hit a lady's hand so hard it left her in a lot of agony.

Thick clouds swarmed over the rough, grey sea. Soon enough, HUGE bolts of lightning crashed down on the ocean, causing a huge splash and scaring everyone. "AHHHHHHH" all of the people screamed, with the storm attacking mercilessly.

They all ran inside, aware of what was going to happen next. Parents cuddled their children, telling them it would be okay, whilst the children feared the mighty storm, unable to go outside. The storm became bored of having no one to attack, so it decided to attack the houses. "Here I come!" it screamed ripping through the bricks and into the people's homes. After several hours of attacking, the storm had had it's fun. So, it went away and back to the heavens above.

"Phew," the people sighed. It was very late at night, so everyone could finally go to sleep without the storm waking them up or them staying awake because they were scared that the storm would attack their house. The next morning, lots of parents took their children on walks or to parks, whilst other parents just did some indoor activities with their children until they were positive that they were safe.

As if Hades, from The Underworld below, was angry, blackness ascended from his kingdom and had soon smothered the sky.

As the storm grew bigger, it threatened more and more underneath it.

the storm ferociously rose, making many people fear the outside world.

Soon after the storm threatened all, a grey, eerie mist covered the dark, wavy sea.
