The hot summer’s day
The sea munches away at the shore. At dawn the sun comes out from the horizon. The salty sea was dancing with joy, With the sand sitting still at the peak of the sea, Today is no day for drinking hot tea.
The ocean was roaring as loud as a lion on this hot summer's day. It was as hot as it could be, It was the end of May.
The sky was blue, the sea was too. The sun was hot and the the sand was on a boiling pot. The heavens were so bright as a diamond in the moonlight.

AimeeThe old beach shore
The sea is thrashing and dashing ,The sea is dancing with joy,The sea is eating away at the sand like a hungry horse.
The sand is blowing with the wind, The sand is acting like a hurricane,The sand is being swept around like rubbish on the floor.
The sea is getting calmer,The sand has stopped blowing, Now everything is silent near the old beach shore .

The lake shivers beneath the beautiful sunlight, Happily it survived through the night,
It shimmers across the sky, But the river was glad it was light,
Hoping to hit high. It knew that it was the river Nile and,
Back into the lake the river calmly flows, When it was night the stars lit the way to safety.
Making very little splash,
And hardly a crash.
At night when the sun is down,
The scary, dark and fierce sky haunts the river,
The river hopes to make it by light…
When morning comes the lake danced with with joy,
THE LAKE
Amelia Sea storm
The night sky was clear of clouds,
The sea was as calm as a kitten,
Scratching her paws at the sandy shore.
Awoken by the sound of thunder, the flash of lightning, the rain on her dark black fur.

The Hot Summer’s Day
The superior sea munches away at the shore,at dawn the sun comes out of the horizon.The salty seas were dancing with joy.With the sand sitting still at the peak of the sea,Today is no day for drinking hot tea.
The sea was roaring as loud as a lion on this hot summer's day.It was as hot as it could be,It was the end of May.The sea was like me when I cry all day
The sky was blue,Like the sea was too.The sun was hot,Like the sand on a scorching pot.The water was as bright,As a diamond in the moonlight.
Grace PThe crashing coast
The coast crashed like lightning in the storm, It ate away at the sand, The horizon disappeared as the monsoon approached, People backed away as the ocean whoosed towards them.
Sand washed away as the roaring sea chased after the houses, It was GONE!, The sky was black with anger, You couldn’t see anything in the distance because the black clouds covered it.
The stormy sea attacked the houses, People ran out of there houses as the fierce sea invaded them, Soon after lightning hit …
Later that day the horizon emerged the stormy seas, The sun was a ring of gold in the blue sky, The sea calmed as the water fled from the houses, The storm was tired

Grace J The Darkness Night With The
Sea And Stars!
The sea was very calm, when glistening under the night.
Above the stars danced peacefully,
Wintery waves wildly crashed against the rocks,
It starts raining in the glanced night
the stars swallowed
the rain got heavier and heavier,
The moonlight went up and up, until it got brighter.
A day on the beach The sea was calm under the sun like a gold coin . The dog walking a long the beach with his mouth open like sharks for fish And the trees dancing in the background And the fish getting eaten by the sharks James

In the summer I go to the beach, it Is full with happy people.Children shouting and screaming, running and laughing, jumping waves.
Sandcastles everywhere, watch your step.And the sea is warm and calm like a summers breeze.The adults are relaxing in the hot, bright sun while their children are having fun.
In the winter I drive past the beach, the waves are aggressive.Strong, hard and violent, they hit the shore.The seagulls are screeching they’re everywhere.The beach is empty, apart from a man and his dog,The dog is hyper like my brother.I try to remember the good times there. I can't wait till next summer.

JosephThe ocean is vast and carries on for miles, It's a fun place to play and everyone smiles.
When the weather’s cutting and the storms are high,The waves are nearly touching the sky.
Awoken by the rising sun,The sea rubbed its eyes and lapped on the shoreFor a new day had come.
On a lovely summer’s day,When the raging clouds are away,The great big beast licks at the shore,Not making a noise not making a snore.
The sea isn't the only monster,There are other ones too,Lurking around in the darkness,Under the great big blue.
The Ocean
Under the waterMany people look,For sunken shipsAnd valuable books.
Ancient cities they might find,Ruled by a king-an unknown kind,A brand new part to history,Their kind no longer a mystery.
The briny deep swallows all,Sometimes making cities fall,Never letting anything get in its path,Everything near it will feel its wrath.
The LakeThe Lake shivers beneath the beautiful sun light,It shimmers across the sky,Hoping to hit high.
Back into the lake the river calmly flows,Making very little splash and hardly a crash.
At night when the sun is down,The scary , dark, fierce sky haunts - the river hopes to make it by light…
When morning comes the lake dances with joy,Happily it survived the night,But the river was glad it was light, He knew that he was the River Nile and when it was night the stars lit the way to safety.

Lauren G The Crashing Coast
The coast crashed like lightning in the storm,
It ate away at the sand,
The horizon disappeared as the storm approached,
People backed away as the sea whooshed towards them.
Sand washed away as the roaring sea chased after the houses,
It was GONE!
The sky was black with anger,
You couldn't see anything in the distance because the black clouds covered it.
The stormy sea attacked the houses,
People ran from their homes as the fierce sea invaded their property,
Soon after, lightning hit…
Later that day the horizon emerged the stormy seas,
The sun was a ring of gold,
The sea calmed as the water fled from their houses.

The Sea Monster
The water lights up as it turns to dawn, His organs, intestines, lungs are sleeping. As green grass like an calm lawn, And the water is it’s body in the moonlight mist.
It’s an fierce animal that hunts for it’s prey, Without noticing in the middle of day. “I cover 2/3rds of the Earth, But I toss and turn and topple but SPLASH!”
The salty sea crashes onto the sandy shore, “But like a hurricane, I roar” The seabed is wet, the
creatures are gone All fed and full but I’m still hungry.
Liam Tragic story of sinking ship
One day I was on a cruise There is a lot of sharks like swimmers of the seas
Singing and dancing to my tunes The boat is like a submarine
Until something was coming fast. The water is crashing and dashing to the windows
It was a wave it was like a tsunami A light in thhe water deep in the water
Everyone went inside and closed It’s submarine and they were exploring the titanic
all the windows and doors We explored the sunken boat
There is no chance of surviving
Until I was upside down Liam

The Dancing wave
The wave was jumping with joy
partying on the sea shore
dancing till sun down.
It settled in moon light, snoring non-stop
in the morning the wild wave was licking at the shiny sun,
cooling down in the ice cold sea
looking up at the stars
Waiting for it all to begin again.
The free seaThe sea was a rush of wind
The horizon lit up the sky like a bright light.
The peaceful fish glided through the salty sea
The sea is dangerous
The water clashes and dashes on the sturdy rocks
The sea is like a hungry caterpillar.

Phoebe The scary stormThe tragic incident occurred one night,
When the sea swallowed a stranded ship.
The waves were crashing and dashing,
Suddenly there was a shadow, one survivor was saved.
OliviaThe moon was shining bright in the sky.
The sea was calm as the sky.
The sea was wild like a lion in his cage.
The waves were crashing and crashing and dashing against the rocks.
The sea was swishing and swooshing with a loud noise.
The Sea
What is the sea?The sea shivered when the sun was setting,
The giant golden ball hovered over the massive lake.
The moon’s reflection lit up the sparse blue sea,
Suddenly,the wind was blowing, pushing back the big, blue beast.
Thrashing and dancing,
The sea was eating away at the sand like a hungry dog.
Sam
Sea storm
The sea was ferocious
Like a wild lion
The wind blowing like thousand fans
Sand throwing itself everywhere
Like a wild animal
The summer's day The sea is very calm For once it’s doing no harmThe sand so softLike a comfy bed
By Sophie
The wave was jumping with joy
Splashing at the sandy beach.
Partying on the sea shore.
dancing till sun down.
It settled in the moonlight as it drifted of to sea.
In the morning it was licking the shiny sun cooling in the ice cold sea.
Looking up at the stars waiting for it to begin again.
