The Big Race!

This week we have used a picture as motivation for our writing. We had a story starter and then we had to carry on the story. What I like about my writing is writing good stories. I need to improve on  using full stops correctly. We also made a google draw showing the things that we would take with us in our hot air balloon.

I’ve been in this hot air balloon for 2 days now. I was so excited in my hot air balloon.  
I packed a hot water bottle water, gun, a blanket and a pillow.  

My hot air balloon looks like a black hole.
We raced through countries like America and other places until I saw an eagle.
I looked for my gun and shot it before it popped my air balloon. When the eagle went  
straight down I went down to get the eagle and I put it in the bush and then I went back up.
I raced to the finish line. I am the winner! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! But it was a trick.
So I had a look at the map on the ground there was only five foot prints.
So I went back to my hot air balloon and I went back into the fluffy clouds.  
I saw the finish line it was the real finish line! There was a timer I beat the timer and went home.
Before I did that I left a note saying, I won it's over now, I have all the money now everyone can
go back home. I went back home feeling amazing.

Handwriting Term 2

I am good at Handwriting. I need to get better at full stops.

Pou

As part of our writing programme we have been doing environmental writing. We had to sketch an object and as we were sketching we wrote down thoughts that we had. Then we wrote our thoughts down  as a poem. We cut out the sketch and added this to our writing.

putting them in the correct places.

We learnt about Picasso’s style and made our own funky Picasso portraits.
