The Star Fish

The Star Fish

Long long ago, there lived seven little fish. They liked to flush about among the blistering glistening sea.Also they like glazing in the flaming sun and the hotful tenticles of the sun.

One day, a mother fish said to her little fish, ''Now listen, you children. Keep close to the rocks. Don't play out at the open sea. Today, Tatarimaka goes out fishing.''

Tatarimaka was a giant who fished with a giant black net. He made it with the waxy flax that grew by Spirits Bay.

On this day, however, it was smooth. The sun was flaming upon them but that day...

There was an asteroid. It was roaring and flaming. It hit them with a SPLASH!!! They went up into the sky and turned into stars. They are now called Matariki.

One tumbling Tuesday, Jaxon and Flynn decided to walk in the forest by Mount Mighty. They  saw scary eyes of vicious wolves in the deep dark woods. 

Jaxon said, "Scramble for our life Flynn'' Flynn said ''lets run down this dark path''.A few hours later a recognisable voice filled the air.''Mum Dad over here'' the boy's yelled with excitement  ''lets carry you boy's home and get you hot chocolate''. mum wisbred.

Snake Attack

WALT make up a story about a Pet Day problem.

WWBSWW:

• Begin with an orientation to tell the reader who, did what, where and when.

“Pet Day will be on Friday,” Miss Anderson, Tom’s teacher, announced to the class on Monday. “Bring your pet to school and tell us about it, then we will have a pet parade.”

Tom was so excited. He would be able to bring Harry to school to 

show everyone.

• Write the events leading up to the problem.

At the end of the day, he ran all the way home to get his pet ready for Friday.

He loved Harry and had wanted to show his friends for a long time, but his mum and dad had told him that Harry must never leave the house; but, now, his

teacher had given him permission to bring it to school.

Smilingly, he polished Harry’s green silky skin, talking to it with his friendly voice. “You’re allowed to come to school, Harry. You can meet my friends and my friends can meet you.”

As soon as Friday came around, Harry carefully took Harry out of its cage and placed him into his black backpack. He couldn’t wait to get to school, so he ran

all the way.

When the bell rang, he and the rest of the class stepped into the 

classroom.

• Write the problem.

Tom opened his backpack to show his friends what he had brought to school for Pet Day.

“It’s a green, slippery, slimey …...................” he said slowly. “Snake!” he 

shouted.

“Tom Denver, give me that thing right now!” Miss Anderson 

commanded.

Tom opened his hand to pass it over, but, at that moment, naughty Billy Burton lunged to grab it himself. He bumped Tom’s shoulder and Tom hurtled forward, the snake flying out of his hand to the back of the classroom.

“Eeeeeee! Where is it?” squealed Miss Anderson.

Chaos threatened in Room 4.  Children jumped up and ran around, screeching

their lungs out and pushing over chairs and desks, trying to find Tom’s snake.

• Write the events to tell your readers how the problem was solved.

Tom had an idea. He borrowed some things from around the class room – scissors, cords for tying, wire, paper, glue and the teacher's lunch. 
He had been making a construction in his class with all the equipment. 
He glued some sheets of paper together and looped a piece of wire onto the pieces of paper. He put a quarter of a cord around the wire, then put the ham sandwich in the middle so Harry could get it. 

In one minute, Harry slowly slithered to the ham sandwich. 

Suddenly, Tom let go of the cord. 

Harry was trapped.

"What a relief"! Mrs Andersen gasped with amazement. "Never bring a snake to school again."

Jonathan Magic

You need an orientation. Who is Jonathon? Where is he? How did you meet him? Where are you?
My favourite part was his wallet set on fire. That was awesome. Jonathan made a $5 note into a $10 note. Amazing. 
Jonathan did balloon magic too. 
His wand flew up a lot. 
Then he said, ''Goodbye.'' 
We all waved back.
