The Willow Tree Pt 1

The Willow Tree

One day I was sitting on the sofa and then my Mum came in and said to me “Go pack your bags! Where going on a road trip!” So I raced up the stairs full of excitement, I grab my bag and empty it. I quickly stuffed my bag full of clothes, electronics, chargers, shoes and stuff to keep me entertained. After 2 hours and 30 minutes in the car we arrived to Alice Springs. It’s a little place filled with nature and sunshine. There we little cottages but we stayed in this big 3 story house? I quickly ran inside and explored then I went to my bedroom and unpacked all my bags. After that we went to the spars!!! I absolutely loved relaxing in the warm water. After all of the fun, we went back home but since Alice Springs is a small place we can walk anywhere. I was laying on my bed reading a book and I decided to go for a walk. I put on my running shoes and went around the block. I came back home and it was quite dark. But there was a beautiful sunset so it was so pretty.

Warm Up's For Writing August

I wanted to share my warm up’s in class earlier this year :D

Wednesday 10th August

Next hypothermia happened when I was in the pool. But then a donkey ran up  and jumped into the pool. Then it farted all day long. The fart  smelled like rotten eggs.

Wednesday 17th August

The man jumped down the toilet and then he ended up in wonderland. He saw a really ugly

Doge that said my name is Jeff with a AK-47 in his hand playing video games. He was very hungry that he ate me. He said scrumptious.

Reading Week 1 Term 4

Knowledge:

Comprehension:

Because it’s just a story and I’m pretty sure that no such thing like a giant these days.

Application:

One night I was laying in bed and I couldn’t get to sleep so I woke up and said hey what is that at the window. I should look omg it’s giant snook. I walked upto him he smiled at me i smiled right back he said come with me. I jumped on his shoulder and then we ran away he took me far far away. I asked gently “ What’s this place called?” He replied “ It’s my home  i look for children just like you so I can show I’m tough too.

Analysis:

Funniest Moment: In the movies the giants drinks are weird because their bubbles fizz down so it makes them do big rippers.

Saddest Moment: When the BFG’s house gets ruined because of the other bigger giants.

Happiest Moment: Sophie and the BFG are going to the queen’s castle and they become more closer and the BFG gets treated with respect unlike back at his home with all the other giants picking on him.

Most Unbelievable Moment: All of it. It was so so so amazing and didn’t seem like anything like the book!

Ki Ora Franchesca I loved how you want to save the panda's and I really like the adjectives in this story. Next time you should try using a little bit more grammar. This amazing piece of writing reminded me when I done a one of these and the animal was a tiger. Keep up the good work!

Evaluation

I think Peter Snell is the most inspiring athlete because he is such a tremendous motivator. I call him the first Usain Bolt. Just to throw this in

to evaluation out of 10. 10 being the best and 1 being the worst I think that peter snell is a 10 in being an inspiring athlete because he used to say (This is the research bit) He always used to say if you can’t be an athlete be a athletic supporter.

Great evaluation Chloe! Well done on completing all of your tasks this week.

A Path To Where?...

A Path To Where...

                                        By Chloe Woods

A flower flew in the distance and led me to a spectacular place that I never imagined I would see. I suddenly tripped and fell in a wonderful cozy patch of flowers. I said to myself ”Where am I? ” I lifted my heavy head and saw a beautiful path full of violet flowers. They looked eye catching!

I quickly dashed through the flower garden and went home to tell my annoying brother. Of course he was asleep so I woke him up by shrieking at him and said, ”Wake up right now!” So he did. I told him all about the flower forest. He said to me, ”YOU HAVE TO TAKE ME THERE.”

For some weird reason I remembered where it was. So I led him there and when we got there he was speechless. He said, ”We have to go further”, in a very in a hair raising voice. Just after he had said we have to go further I had an insane idea.  What if I was the first person to find the hidden fairy land?

My brother looked at me in a disapproving way. We both started sprinting through the thorny brown bushes getting pricked by everyone. Finally we got to the end. In front of us we saw a very giant tree. In the tree it glittered and we saw tiny little people flying around. I thought to myself, “Ok we better head back.”

‘NO!’ screamed my brother. I started to head back and my brother followed. The reason why I didn’t want to go in was because I hated fairies. I thought I was going to find something exciting. My brother was furious at me all week. I lay down on my bed and I still thought about that place...
