created an artwork showing a landing on an imaginary planet.

Little Red Riding Hood

We have been learning to use present participles in our writing.

Skipping across the brittle road, Little Red Riding Hood met the great threat to the forest - the big bad wolf. 

Grinning, the wolf said, "Where are you going my dear?"  

The wolf said, "I’m going to my lonely grandma." 

Smiling, the wolf said, "Where does she live my dear?"

"She lives in a small house up that hill."        

Running to the little house up the hill, the wolf opened the door.

"Get out, you filthy thing!" said the grandma. 

Tying the poor grandma up, the wolf threw her into the closet, put on her clothes and hopped in the bed. 

Opening the door, Little Red Riding came in. "I bought you some cookies." 

"Thanks, my dear. Would you please shut the window?"

Out of the blue, a man with a knife jumped through the window and killed the wolf and opened the closet and untied the grandmother. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

Touch and Netball

We have been learning to use a present participle in our writing.

Glowing bright yellow, the sun and the crisp morning awaited. My pounding heart was excited ready for the touch tournament. The sun’s long sunshine arms invaded Paterson Park. My pumping blood vessels were in joy.

[The whistle blew]  

Dodging through Ngaruawahia, Logan as fast as lightning. ran nearly all the way. Huffing and puffing, Logan lost his breath. He could not breathe. His lungs were about to explode. He made it, dived and scored.

Smiling in joy, and yelling in each other’s faces, we paraded around Patterson Park saying we won.

Winter Morning

We have been learning to use personification in our writing.
It was a wintry morning. I woke up about 3 o’clock  in the morning and boy! It was cold! Brrrr! My fingers were frost bitten. My gloves warmed my frost bitten hands. I heard a tree whisper. I heard the  wind whistling.

The peaceful flowing river had  a crocodile in it. It was lurking by the river bank and I went to the bank to get the a blue tongue lizard. The crocodile leaped on the blue tongue lizard  but the crocodile was coated in solid ice . I built a tank for the blue tongue lizard. I called him Freddy.
I went home and put Freddy in his tank and rolled it down the ice coated road. I pushed and pushed the tank until my body was frost bitten. I finally made to my house. I put the heat pump on and the fire I was nice and warm now.

Winter Morning

It was a wintry morning. I saw icicles invading the tree. I saw Jack Frost mowing the warm lawn into an icy lawn. I was lying on the warm grass. Suddenly, a big ball of snow landed on top of me.

The King Lizard Atacks

Hofman and Manu ran as fast as they could. They were chased by a komodo dragon 10 foot long and really fast. Hofman and Manu felt weaker and weaker. Suddenly they stopped.  They hit a dead end. The komodo dragon,  inches away, licked his chops with his big slobbery tongue. They stood face to face. The komodo dragon charged and bit them then the hospital immediately came and the komodo dragon retreated. Hofman and Manu were better and climbed up a big  tree.   The komodo dragon ran to that tree and waited. Hofman and Manu slid down. That clever dragon ripped chunks of meat off them.

Aumtumn poem

The trees leaves fall on the sun parched hill. one minute later the leaves got sun extinguish. The leaves were not grand and green any more. But they were crisp and crunchy. The autumn  set in. crunch crack the leaves

Well done, Mark. You have chosen some descriptive words. When we write poems, we begin each idea on a new line, like this:

The tree's leaves fall on the sun-parched hill.
One minute later, the leaves got sun extinguish (Think about those words - what do they mean?)
The leaves were not grand and green anymore.
They were crisp and crunchy. 
The autumn set in.
Crunch! Crack! The leaves ............
