Our Playdough Aliens

Room 12 has been learning how to write character descriptions so that the reader can get a good mind picture of what our characters look like. We created playdough aliens and we wrote all about them. We tried to use describing words and similes to add extra detail. I think we did a fantastic job! Have a look ....

My Playdough Alien has a bright blue body and a dark red head. She's got two coloured buttons. She also has yellow lumpy hair. Her eyes are black and she has three of them. Now I can't forget that she has a straw nose, can I? She is the most gentle alien on earth. If you want to see her you have to travel west. She is as big as an owl. Her middle eye is a light bulb. At night, when no one is looking, she can turn invisible. She is size 9. My alien is like a kangaroo because she jumps everywhere. - Alannah

My Playdough Alien is bright turquoise with a big belly button sticking out of him with a diamond on top. He's got a circle body and head. He has one leg as long as a tree and two short ones. He is as small as a germ. He bounces around everywhere even in bed. His favourite thing to do is Art. His arms have yellow and blue stripes. He has got four eyes on his head that move everywhere. He has a circle nose with sparkles on it. He can jump so high, he can jump over a tidal wave. - Hamish H

My Playdough Alien is blue and it feels soft. It's body is shaped like a snowman. He comes from Mars. He is three centimeters tall. He has super powers which are swords, a sun power, water lazer vision, armour and he can see in the night. He is strong and his name is Strong Dude. He eats nothing but he drinks water. He has skinny legs and arms and two eyes on his head. - Matthew

My Playdough Alien has four eyes. He has four arms too and two legs. He runs really fast. He likes going invisible. He also doesn't like fruit. He lives in a jungle. Sometimes he jumps and he is always happy. He is fun to play with. He can make all kinds of things. Anyone would like him. He likes playing catch. - Tyler S

My Playdough Alien has two colours. It is blue and red and it has got three eyes, a golden body and four arms, two small and two long. He feels angry. He feels hard and he flies and he's got gold on him. His head has got a star on the top. - Wian

My Playdough Alien is blue and red and has four magic stars and two invisible diamonds. His favourite body part is the top bright blue star. He has got four arms that are yellow and white. He's got shiny eyes and white hands. He likes bouncing all around the floor and he can turn invisible. I like it when he turns into ice. He has two squares on his head that are green. He has got fragile teeth. He likes rolling on the carpet. - Remy
