Descriptive writing

This week we were practising for the writing test that is coming up. So we practised describing a image. Here is the start of my writing practise.

I saw her and then she was gone, I heard whispering for me to follow, It only took me a few seconds to decide… My curiosity overrules the urge for me to run home be scared and retreat.

Tasting  fear I furiously try to predict the oncoming events. The girl is  walking down the corridor of bewildering trees that provide an arch way around the narrow stream. The pure smell of nature taking its course eases my anxiety somewhat.  I follow the mystery girl but soon lose sight of her as the mist filters through the trees blocking my view. I've lost her.

compare and contrast

This week we finished reading the boy in the striped pyjamas and we watched the movie. One activity was that we had to compare and contrast the book to the movie. Here are some of my Ideas.

Descriptive writing

I arrive at the field 1 hour early. I see the early morning sunrise peeking through tower like trees, and the frost layered thickly on the ground like jam on toast. I am numb due to the frost but the rise of the sun is compensating just a bit to keep me from freezing. I hear the frost crackling as it is busily settling on the ground and starting its short life before it melts away. I am trying to take in what it smells like but the cold air does not let me breathe.  I find myself spending my whole pre-game warm up blowing on my fingers in hope that they alone will warm up.

The whistle blows signalling the captain's toss. I rush over, tails it is.

Once the game gets underway I forget the frost’s bitter grasp on my body.

After the game the frost has disappeared and the sun has taken control of the day.

Just another average day in the week.

Maths work

This week for numeracy one of our tasks was to fill in a slide about finding percentages of an amount. I liked doing it because it was challenging.
