❤ WIP writing! ❤

 My favorite subject

I post a lot about my favorite subject, writing! Another post about writing, its the same structure as my latest writing post. Three photos to write about, Three bits of a story. The biggest bit is the middle bit which is still not done, I have not even started the third bit yet but still enjoy!


Motivation:

Paragraph:

Day 1: The journey

This was it! The start of her adventure!


Ahhhhh! Wait… Yummy! I glided into a fluffy pink cloud, it tastes remarkably like cotton candy. There she is! A massive hot air balloon colored yellow and light pink. I float down to meet Amelia, Her brown hair flies around her white blouse. I land gently on the edge of the basket that lies beneath the balloon. “There you are Charlie!” she says as she removes the letter from my leg. “Good boy!” she says as she pats my vibrant blue and yellow feathers. She reads it out loud even though I am the only one listening. “Thank you for applying to the Paris writing academy! We are happy to announce that you have been accepted. We expect you to arrive on the 30 of September and on the Book fairy in Italy. Goodbye, Professor Goodwell,  Deputy headmistress.” She finishes her eyes wide in shock. “Good parrot Charlie! You better go and say we can go!” Amelia picks up a bit of paper next to her, scribbles furiously.  “Here you go, Charlie” She attaches the paper to my leg and told me  the address of the academy.  “See you soon!” . Ahh up in the air again,  my feathers flying into the sunset. This was it! The start of my adventure! In three days Me and Amelia would be on our way to the Paris writing academy! AHHHH! Oh just another cloud, delicious… 

☁☁☁

Day 2: The greatest storm


The Earth began to shatter...tt

As the sun begins its descent into the dark sky and the clouds turn into cotton candy again a tower comes into my sight. “The academy!” I squawk breathlessly, as I take a break and start to slow down. “Only five more minutes, wings!”  I talk mainly to my yellow and blue wings. I swop down to a truck and  glide effortlessly on to the roof. “This should take us straight towards the academy '' I pant to my wings as my feathers blow around in the wild wind. The truck stops abruptly at the entrance of the massive tower. A tall man with greasy black hair gets out, a tinny German shepherd puppy follows him. “Oh no…” I think.  The puppy looks up at me, opens its mouth to bark but it turns to its owner and walks back. He winks up at me before he prances into the car. “Phew, Good puppy” I think. The ride was uneventful except that the puppy kept coming out to check I was still there. Soon we had reached the gigantic tower, it was so tall that it cast a shadow on the truck.  The car stopped suddenly, the puppy bounded out after its owner. The tiny dog raised its head up and sniffed thoroughly. He shook his head, the owner seemed to take this as nothing was near. The man picked the poor dog up with his massive arms and put him in the back of  the truck. The puppy yips happily as the man leaves towards the tower. I glide down to thank the small shepherd puppy. “Thank you, you saved my life!” I told him appreciating what he had done for me. “Noproblem” He says clearly excited, not bothering to have a break between the words. “CanIcomewithyou?” He says. “ Umm, what?”  I say confused. “Can. I Come. With. YOU!” He says slower than necessary. “Umm, I will see. Stay Here!” I say as I remember what I am here for. “OK” He says as I fly up to the top of the castle. Ahh back in the sky, I think as I get closer to the top of the towering castle. The note flapping on my leg I enter the top window. The magnificent room looked remotely like a jungle merged with a library. Birds of every color crowded the room, they sat on green rails that covered the wall. A desk sat in the middle of the room, sagging under the weight of all the papers. An old man was sitting barely visible through the paper weight. His white beard and hair whipped around in the wind, his glasses were fogged. His hand barely touching the quill that skimmed along the paper. He finished his letter and put it in an envelope. An owl swoops down and grabs its letter. I  get ready and glide in gracefully to give the headmaster his message. I land carefully on top of some envelopes. He looks up smiling at me, “Hello Charlie, good boy.” He says as he detaches my letter. “There you go” I say, Uh oh I just spoke in front of him! “Ummm, squawk squawk?” I say unconvincingly. He didn’t look surprised  though. “Don't worry, lots of other birds let it slip.” He takes the letter and starts to read. “Good, take this back to my niece please, Charlie.”  He says “I bet she would like to hear directly from her Uncle. “ . I thank him before I take off again. “YIIIIIIIPPPPP”  Oh not again, I guess i have to take him. “Hey, what's your name?” I shout down to the puppy. “Nick!” He barks back at me. “Nick follow me on foot”  I shout at him, he jumps out of the back of the truck. His tail wacks him in his tiny face as he galops after me.


๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•๐Ÿ•


The day! The day we take the book fairy to the academy. “Yip” Tim says as we approach the fairy. A magnificent boat with white paint and a giant mast. It looked more like a fancy pirate ship than a fairy, Golden imprint on the side of the boat made it even more fancy. More yipping as Tim gets onto the boat, “Just because I adopted you Timmy doesn't mean you can go flouncing everywhere.”  says Amelia through giggles, Timmy continues to wiggle onto the fairy. We all start walking onto the beautiful boat behind Timmy. A guard came and greeted us. ’Coming on?’ he asked me. He was wearing a white uniform with a golden logo. Two pens crossed on top of some books

Day 3: The watches

The crows gathered, the hunt was on.

๐Ÿ€ MORE WRITING! ๐Ÿ€

 Back to school!

This is my first post since I have been back to school. It is about what we have been doing for writing. I wrote mine from the point of view of the raven. It was based of some pictures my teacher set us towrite about. Have you doen a similar type of writing? Hope you enjoy!

Session 1

WALT vary our sentences

Resources: Modelling book / Thesaurus 


Motivation:

Paragraph:

Day 1: The  Forbidden Tower

Time was running out! They only had a matter of minutes.

Flying through the dark airy night, I make it my mission to reach the top of the dark  tower to find the key. The moon shone like a giant star, the sun of the night. All the light was the moon and was slowly floating behind a cloud. The light was dimmed, I tried to find my way in the dark. I swoop as the moon comes out from its curtain. I flew into the deadly tower, through the window, which was hanging off its hinges. The deserted room only has a small pocket watch. I searched and searched with my big raven beak. Nothing. I am sure I saw it up there this morning! Then I heard the low creaking of the stairs… I could not go and explore. I glided onto the miniature clock and check it.  Time was running out! I only had a matter of minutes. I slowly closed my eyes, so tired…


Day 2: The Golden Key

She had been chasing it all day. Now, the crow had it.

I woke up curled up on the watch. I am still in the tilting tower. I bent down to check the clock, I only had 10 more seconds. I pecked one of my feathers to check that it is not a dream, I opened my eyes back up. Nothing had changed but now I only had 3 seconds. I shut my eyes again waiting for the disaster that I had been dreading for all this time. 3…2 I hear shuffling… 1, I hand clutches the watch. I struggle to stay put, then I see it, the key, on the hand’s wrist. I  drag it off!  I had been chasing it all night. Now, I had it! The world had vanished, the hand had dissolved. I was stunned, I had got the key? Why did it happen? Then I realised, I was a sparrow! My  big raven beak was shrunken,  just like the rest of me. The key still hanging from my mouth I jump down from the giant pocket watch. There was a crunch from under my feet, crispy, flakey leaves covered the floor. The end of the room, nowhere. I had not got it in time, I had shrunk and the world was finished. Everyone was stuck in a never ending room, tiny and defenseless. Finished for good, I had to fix the pocket watch! After a while it starts ticking again. Relieved, I continue to the end of my journey. I am extremely  sleepy. Tomorrow, I will get  to the edge of the world!

Day 3: The Edge of the World

She embarked on a journey across the ocean.  

I had to get to the edge of the world, the adventurer would be there already but I had the watch and the key! I could get there and unlock the door to home, my home, the world. I carefully hook my legs on the chain of the pocket watch, I will need it to get to the end of the world because of the security. With the key gleaming in my beak, I struggle to fly. Finally I get the hang of it and start glideing away from the leaves to the only exit of this awful world. 


After what felt like an eternity, I arrived at a miniature  spot of brown. I had to dig to get to the door, my Dad left all my instructions. I drop the watch anxiously and start to dig. Leaf after leaf, crumbling as I move them. Soon I have made a tunnel in the leaves. A tenny door is revealed, it has two holes. One was a circle 2x as big as me,  the second a teensy lock. I know what to do. I grab the watch and shove it into the biggest of the holes. Then I gently fly and put the glistening key into it and the door swings open! I jump through, I have nothing  else to do. If I get out of this world, then everyone will come. I embark on a journey across the ocean, like an adventurer through a forest, like a fish swimming through the ocean.

I was gone…




The end

 The power of yet!

The power of yet is if you can not do something  and you have a growth mindset, instead of thinking `I can NOT do this!' think ` I can not do this YET!'. The power of yet is important because if you think with the power yet, you will sucssed eventuly. If you think I cant do this and you dont try,  then it is unlikley you will sucssed. 


Using the power of yet to improve your skill

Pick a skill you cant do YET and practise it.The skill I need to practise is my times tables.  

Some ways to improve your skill is to:

  • make up games 
  • reseach 
  • make up games
  •  set goals 

What is a skill you need to practice????

WHOLE SCHOOL PRODUCTION = FRESH & SMOOTH

 Fresh and Smooth = Introduction

Fresh and Smooth are yogurt containers, they get split up and both get eaten and LITTERED! They are brother and sister and REALLY miss each other, at first they are just trying to find each other BUT then they start to give up and have NO hope! Luckily They get picked up in a rubbish collection by Owairaka Primary (our SCHOOL) and are recycled into plant pots... AND meet each other!



Our bit ... WELLINGTON!

Our bit is when Dad takes Smooth for his packed lunch. He works in Wellington around the Beehive. The person who acts Dad (Remy) has to tell Dad jokes and LITTER Smooth But before that we do are dance!

Here is a bit of the script:

Dad picks up his lunch (a honey sandwich)

Dad: Eating a honey sandwich out side the beehive! 

Looks around no one laughs.

Whole school... Dress rehearsal! 

We did a WHOLE SCHOOL DRESS REHEARSAL before we did the BIG show. We did this so that us (the students) could see the play we were apart of and the Play. We had a BIG part of the play we were the fourth class to go on. 

Here is us in our costumes:



Over all!

Over all i really enjoyed the production and congratulate all the OTHER classes that participated! 

Have you ever been in a prodution, what did you do?
