Narative writing 3

WALT: write a Narrative that’s amazing 

In 1999 on beautiful kowhai beach with its soft golden colored sand, it’s shimmering turquoise water and its brightly colored beach umbrellas and tropical fish enjoying the gentle waves is where and when this story takes place.  At the moment there were three visitors whose names were: Emerald the unicorn with golden colored hooves and a silver colored coat.

Mia was a teenager in the 13th grade whose brown hair reached her hips and her suit was very attractive.  The last visitor was a dragon named Scally whose dark black scales and dark blue eyes seemed to bore right through you.  But this trip to the beach was about to get really bumpy...

Problem: The theft

Suddenly there was a shout “Hey who's stolen my antique hairbrush as well as my fire lighter?”  Emerald looked around she knew that it was Mia shouting but where on earth was Scally.  All of a sudden she had a brain wave. Scally was the thief that explained why he had such a cautious look on his snout when he arrived.  Now she knew who had stolen Mias things but she didn’t know where Scally was hiding.  All of a sudden she saw some sudden movement SCALLY!

Solution:The trap

Emerald quickly followed Scally making sure that Scally didn’t see her.

Would she be able to think of a trap quick enough or would she be too slow? She was already guessing what Scally was up to.  She was very worried by now about the trap but all of a sudden she thought of the most wonderful trap in the world.  But she would have to work super quickly!

She knew that her new powers would set the trap up in a blink but she really wanted to keep her powers “Too bad” she told herself''You are going to help Mia and that's final.”  And so in a blink of an eye she had set up the trap and Scally was trapped.   

Emerald trotted over to Mia happily she knew that Mia would be very proud of her.  She was so happy that she didn’t even notice Scally sulking (as much as a baby cries in the corner).  Mia was so happy when her treasures were returned she rewarded Emerald with her antique hairbrush.  Mia was so touched that Emerald had sacrificed her powers to save her hairbrush and fire lighter that she restored Emeralds powers.  From that day forward Mia and Emerald were the best of friends.   

Today I Improved my writing by: 

•  writing my speech conversations properly.

•  putting commas and full stops in the right places.

• Used juicier words .

  

To Improve my writing I need to:

•  Check my writing properly.

• Find interesting words.

Congratulations on a superb piece of writing Grace.  Your introduction is on point and your speech conversations are correct.  You should be very proud of your writing Grace.  You are definitely on track to succeed, keep striving for excellence Grace.  Pai to mahi, Mrs Jujnovich.

WALT:  Express myself in Narrative Writing

Once upon a time there was a dragon named scally that was completely back with white eyes. A super duper angry bus driver that had dark eyes, black hair and would stop the bus 17 times per minute.  As well as the bus driver's best friend named Grace who had ginger hair,  freckles and a kind and helpful personality.  While they lived, the first jungle was created. It was a dark, horrible place with swampy floors, swamp creatures such as snakes and crocodiles and mixed sounds of snapping crunching and the bone chilling noise of the very first dragon. 

One day the bus driver decided to visit the jungle but Grace was very reluctant she was sure they would get lost…

Lost in the jungle

Soon the driver and Grace had found the jungle and were walking through.  Grace was still reluctant about the idea but she knew it was the best thing to do.  She didn’t want to make her friend mad but she was terrified by the unfamiliar sounds around them.   11 hours later the bus driver asked Grace “Now which way home?”  Grace was surprised and didn’t know what to say but she still answered “W-w-w what do you mean you didn’t ask me to keep track of direction!”  Now Grace could see that her friend was starting to boil. She knew he knew that they were lost but didn’t want to admit it!!

What a kind Dragon!

All of a sudden the first dragon appeared and asked “What's the matter?”

Grace sensed that the dragon knew that they were lost so she didn’t answer.  The bus driver had fainted, no chance of him answering Grace also sensed that the dragon was as kind as chipmunk and she knew what the dragon was going to do.  The dragon sensed that Grace knew what she was going to do and very happily picked Grace up and they had a chat until the bus driver woke up and realised the dragon was a kind soul and wanted to help them.   So the bus driver went with the dragon and Grace, (very amazed that the dragon didn’t want to eat them!) back to the world outside as the dragon called it. 

The dragon was the happiest she had ever been and as soon as she landed she decided that life in the jungle had been way too boring and that she wanted to live with the bus driver and Grace.  They all lived happily ever after.  Do you think that they dared to go into the jungle again? 😁

The village settlement was located in Kenya, Africa.

We always use a strategy to accomplish our gymnastic skills.

When my gymnastic group came second in the far north championships we couldn’t believe our success.

Last year when I came first in more than one event at athletics I couldn't believe I had been so successful.

The day I put on my pony club uniform it felt suitable.

The day when I tripped and tumbled down a paved hill and grazed my hand gravely I couldn’t believe the thoughtfulness of my brother when he helped me up and gave me a plaster.

I couldn’t believe all the trouble Kenny made when he got spooked and I tumbled out of the saddle.

Being tough is the key to being an able horseman.

My Dad is getting stuck in traffic so he makes it home usually at 6:30.

My mum would give up wealth to spend more time with her family, I don’t think I would.

WALT:  Follow the sequence of Narrative writing

Title: Le leah

                                          Introduction 

In 1812 on a jet black and stormy night in the deep dark wood is when this story takes place.  Three people and a cat from outer space shall appear and their names are:  Le-Leah who has star white hair and the most detailed costume with     eyes of emerald green. Luke who has completely black hair and the most piercing eyes with the most striking suit. Grace with golden colored hair, the most beautiful hazel eyes as well as a hand made suit that sparkled endlessly.  Sila the cat who has striking black and green eyes with black and white speckled fur.  They are here to stop a very serious matter. The flowers are withering away like they are pieces of lollies being chewed.

Problem

Five hours later it was still as starless as a jet black horse and as stormy as the wildest storm on jupiter.  Le-leah has now warmed up her power which is nature and is starting to heal the flowers but after one flower is healed a GIGANTIC flower breaks out of the earth and starts to suck up all the flowers.  Le-Leah starts to panic.  All of a sudden she's screaming “Ahhhhhhhhhhh”. She knows she shouldn’t but she can’t help it she’s never seen a flower this big before.

Solution

All of a sudden there is an enormous flash and her family and her friend appear.  They have sensed that she needs them and have come to help.  But they know that their powers will take two hours at the quickest to warm up on earth. They know the only way to quicken warming up their powers is to combine and that means giving up a 50th of their powers oh oh!

Problem

No one wants to give up a 50th of their power, especially Sila the cat but they know it is the only way to save Earth.  Unfortunately Le-Leah's cat DOESN'T want to give up a 50 th of her power.  Le-Leah begs her but her cat just won’t give in.  Now it’s up to Le-Leah. Does she want to give up three 50ths of her power? So she will be much weaker.  As weak as an antelope (antelopes are only 70 percent strong enough on Mars).  Or does she want to keep her power?  Hold your breath and wait for the answer!!

Solution

Okay let out your breath she said yes.  As soon as Le-Leah said yes they all felt like throwing a party weeeeeeeelll most of them Sila the cat wasn’t very happy in fact she was the grumpiest she had ever been SHE tried to persuade Le-Leah with words like: “Hey you don't realise exactly how annoying and ugly earth is” to make Le leah regret her answer but Le-Leah knew that she had to say yes, otherwise the flowers of the earth would be all gone and it would be a very dull planet.  So she combined her power and helped to save earth.  Luckily it was still jet black as the blackest horse and as starless as the clouds.  After they had saved earth they returned to Mars for the biggest party the universe has ever seen.      

🎉🎊🎆
