Cute Cactus

 WALT: use the figures of speech from the week

This week in writing we have been working on things like hyperboles, similes and alliteration. Today we had to write a story with all those things in it. My story was all about a cactus named Prickly who sits on a shelf in his humans house.

Here it is.

The life of A cactus

Hello my name is Prickly, I am a cactus. I live on a shelf in my servants house and I am as prickly as… well a cactus. All the other plants won't come near me because they are scared I will prick them. But believe it or not there are perks about being a cactus. For example, I can store lots of water in a short time so I don't have to ever say I am dying of thirst. I can also live for ages, my great granddad Spike lived till he was 300. But there are downsides to being a cactus, like if I am placed in the wrong place I can bring bad feng shui

(don´t ask what that is, I have no idea).  I think I am a very crafty and clever cactus because I can figure out how to get a whole shelf to myself. I can not tell you how though, it is a secret. Being a cactus is sort of boring sometimes so I have realised that there is no point in writing a book, Bye.


What is your favourite plant?

  1. Hi Scarlett
    Well done for completing your writing task. I like how you have explained to the reader what your writing task was and given an overview of your story. Unfortunately I can't read you story as it is not centred on the page. Is it possible for you to change this? It would be a shame for others to not be able to read your creative writing.
