WALT - to write a descriptive paragraph

Use your imagination and write a description about this picture.  
Remember to include:
similes
sentence starters
punctuation

WALT - Spellings meet at 10:00

I have left this on for anybody that has not yet completed paragraph 1 to paragraph 4. 
Read our model text 
look at:

• how punctuation is used
• sentence starters
• adventurous vocabulary
• use of figurative language (onomatopoeia, similes) speech (even to herself)
• how she's feeling (extension on these ideas) 
• how the story is building up to the main problem 

Use these ideas to help you with your writing task.

To her surprise it responded by opening, seemingly on its own.

Looking into the dark tunnel in front of her, she saw several different types of skulls hanging up: big skulls, ones the size of adult humans; small skulls, ones the size of cats; and medium skulls, ones the size of children! Then she noticed that there was something crunching under her feet: the crunching felt like snapping and had a particularly pungent aroma. "This is very strange," she said shakily, and went on a step or two further.

       Then she saw that there was a sparkling, shimmering light ahead of her and something cold and wet was spraying onto her. A moment later she found that she was standing in front of a vast ocean, with a beach; the beach was made up of thousands of fish bones.

Andy felt: a little frightened, she had just walked down a tunnel of skulls; inquisitive, something that always got her into trouble; brave, she felt strong enough to continue exploring and nervous, all at the same time. She began to walk. Crunch-crunch, over the fish bones, closer towards the sea.
A mermaid appeared and invited her to swim with her to her underground village: surprisingly, Andy could hold her breath under water. She swam down to the underground world where she met other mermaids and mermen. She heard about the dreaded Sea Wizard: he sacrificed both fish and mer-creatures. He displayed their bones as a warning to others.
