Narrative Writing - The day the sun disappeared

 WALT write a creative narrative story!

Once upon a time there was a person called Jimmy with a phoenix named Flame they were strolling through the desert and then suddenly the sky went dark Jimmy fell face first into the sand he gritted his teeth and looked up there stood a dark figure with glowing red eyes and no mouth his head was covered by a hood. what Jimmy shouted with shock. Muahahaha the figure screeched now that that blasted sun is gone I can finally take over the world. Who are you Jimmy squeaked? I am the moon master he replied  now that everyone is in darkness I have control. For centuries I have waited and planned but I decided to make that sun disappear.  Flame we have to light the sun in one swift motion he jumped on the back of his phoenix and away they went they dug and giant hole and brainstormed then Jimmy said why didn’t I think of this before you are a magical creature you can fly to the sun and light it he rummaged in his bag and pulled a convenient space suit from it here's something I prepared earlier. Moments later they were soaring up and up until there was no gravity. I think that is it that humongous black rock they circled it a couple of times and then roar a jet of flames burst from flames beak. They quickly dashed away back to earth. There was the moon master screaming noooooo how and then he crumpled ford collapsing in a pile of ash and they all lived happily ever after. 

The end

The one that I used in a race was made out of 4 corks, a kebab stick and a piece of  calf meal sack. I won 2 races, Jackson won 1. We did it in a trough in the horse's paddock. When I was coming up to the house I was humming with glee.

 Town pools

On Thursday the seniors went  to the town pools. When we got there we put our bags down and waited for instructions. When we could get into the pool we raced down and started our day. Me and Jackson R had all sorts of races freestyle, backstroke and doggy paddle. When we got out we had a sausage and then sadly our day had come to an end. 

The Great Reading Adventure

We are learning to write a moment in time about our class assembly, 'The Great Reading Adventure'.

Finally the moment has come for our great assembly! I felt anxious and epic to be the main character. My first scene was Duffy, Scruffy and friends. I thought we were doing an epic job. Now gotta keep reading started playing and it was the time for the others to come in. The second scene was the Wonky Donkey.  I asked Scruffy what do you call a donkey with three legs? Then I said a wonky donkey. Everyone laughed. I sit down and paused, 'Wait' I thought to myself. 

Tsunami Evacuation

We wrote a recount about our evacuation experience. WALT add details to our writing and edit carefully.

Last Friday we had a Tsunami evacuation and we scrambled up a steep hill. I was a bit angry that I didn't know what was happening. It was boiling hot when we walked the hill and a few people were crying. We got up a bit and me and Ryan were chosen to help see if there were any cows in the paddock. We saw that there were no cows so Whaea Deb went back to tell the school it was alright and finally I felt calm. So then we sat down and had some morning tea. After that we walked a bit further up the hill. Then we sat down and had lunch. We also played games and played with toys. I had some temper tantrums when gorse poked me. After we had a delicious sausage sizzle and sang some waiata.
