The Storm

Writing

Danny’s literacy group did a  shared writing about the storm. We all added our ideas to the story.

The Storm

I woke in the dead of night, startled by the storm. Crash! Boom! Thudder!

But wait… the storm has passed, it’s still outside.

Then what made that noise?

I got out of bed and carefully opened the door.

I looked up into the sky and saw what was creating the lightening.

A scaly one eyed dragon.

I dived back under the covers.

Year 3 have been experimenting with writing about the feeling of hunger. You will see more of their writing in this weeks school newsletter.

 

I slivered out of the pool as starvation took over me. I rushed for my food like a bull dog was chasing me.

 Joab

 

 

As I crawled out of the pool hunger took over. I rushed to my bag, ripping it open and gobbled my snack.

 Oto

 

 

As I got out of the pool, I felt I could eat an elephant. As I looked around at everyone else, they looked like food.

Rory

 

I scampered  out of the pool, my body shaking.

My arms and legs trembling with frozenness.

Cold water dripping down my back.
