Room 21 Creative Authors

 Recently the authors from Room 21 were asked to contribute some writing for a new library display inspired by the wonderful story ‘Rainbow Fish’ by author Marcus Pfister. We decided to focus on the lessons to be learnt from this book as well as creating exciting similes.

Here are some similes from our creative authors;

Rainbow fish has scales that flash like the glimmering sun that rises each morning. He has scales that gleam like the diamonds in a queens crown. (Melevasi, year 6)

Rainbow fish zig-zag’s through the rocks like a racing car trying to win a race. His scales glitter like diamonds in the bright sunshine. (James, year 5)

He swims arrogantly like a king wandering through the halls of his palace. Rainbow fish has the confidence of an actor acting in a movie. (Gzeal, year 5)

Rainbow fish’s precious scales blaze brightly like a glittering shooting star shooting through the night sky. (Micah, year 6)

 We decided to create our own display in our classroom. The incredibly talented Keithaline illustrated the underwater scene as well as some characters from the story. She even used shining paua pieces to represent Rainbow fish’s precious scales.

This is the display in our classroom.

Next time you’re in the library, check out our writing for yourself!
