Walt: write a setting description




 santorini the greek islands

Georgia-
Paragraph 1 - Atmosphere - 
It was an idyllic, sunny and vibrant place, ideal for holidaying at.  The sun beamed down brightly and warmed the atmosphere like an oven. Everywhere was bright filled with colour. 

Paragraph 2 -      
Houses stretched out as far as the eye could see. The houses were detailed in with extraordinary patterns. The houses were built up to high standards and were well cared for. Vibrant Blue and white covered the houses. The houses were made out of cold,hard concrete. 
The dwellings were built high on a mountain and towered all the way up like trees in a forest. The rooftops were in shape of domes. Concrete stairs lead pathways in between each house and the streets. Denim,blue jeans hung of a ledge and dried off in the blazing hot sun. this bizarre place is located in santorini, in the greek islands.

Paragraph 3- 
Below the dwellings is the bright, blue ocean. The sea surrounds every edge of the island. The smell of salt water fills the air. You can see massive island far from the shore. Colossal rocks towered on the mountain turn dark shades of grey and brown when the water takes over. Water gets lighter as it stretches out further. Boats, canoes, and other travelling vessels, cruising around the islands edge. 

paragraph 4-
It’s sunny and with a slight breeze good for flying kites. The sky is a bright blue colour. Fewer clouds sit above the island. The clouds look as soft as marshmallows. The sun’s arms reach down and wrap a blanket around us. This santorini setting is a wonderful luminous place.

One afternoon, Mum, Dad, Harper and Max were having a nice picnic near a wooden bridge it looked to be well managed  and could hold around 30 people.The kids and asked the parents if they could go for a splash in the lake that was beneath the bridge.The parents said yes and then they changed into their togs and jumped in. 20 minutes later, they saw a few people across the lake doing  human cannonballs. But then Harper scared Max and told him that you would die if you went in it, and then he started crying, she reassured him and told him it was a joke . There were many children at the lake that day having fun in the sun. then came a pushy Kid from their school. Harper and Max had an excuse to go to the toilet so they didn’t have to be around pushy kid. The pushy kid was mean and he had the force like yoda. Max,harper and pushy kid had a long discussion between themselves. After they  jumped with joy as they solved the problems between them.



I rate our prediction a 3 1\2 out of 10. We got the part about them going on a picnic and jumping off a bridge right but everything else was wrong
