We are learning to write about a short space of time.
We will know we can do this when:
- we have written about no more than seven minutes of a personal experience
- included adjectives to describe feelings, tastes, smells and what we see
- described our thoughts and emotions.
Room 5, remember some important internet safety rules when using this site (and others): never give your full name, never give your phone number, address or email details, don't mention where you will be at a particular time, don't put any of that information on the net about anyone else, think carefully if you respond to anyone else's comments because they can't hear your tone of voice, do not call people names or put them down

It gazed at me with it's dark, evil eyes. It looked like it had crashed on Earth from Mars. I slowly put it in my mouth, wondering what it would do to me. i bit into it slowly. Then a gooey, sour, lava oozed slowly into my mouth.
ReplyDeleteIt was like there was a small, mad, acid-like volcano erupting on my poor tortured taste buds. I desperately crawled on the floor with small tears in my eyes. I was coughing. I was spluttering trying to hold myself together. But suddenly it all stopped. I got up, brushed myself off and smiled. I had engulfed the gooey sour lava out of the angry... DESTROYER!
I spinned around for just one tinsy second. Waves crashed quickly up against my feet. I was frightened and scared with fear. The water was freezing cold at a super low temperature. My hands fell straight back and hit the sharp pointy rocks. My hands and feet slipping like crazy. It felt like mad dogs trying to get off a chain backwards and forwards. The waves were banging loudly against each other so noisily like thunder. BIG, BANG, BOOM, BIG, BANG, BOOM.
ReplyDeleteI slowly stood up. Shocked, shaking and shivering. I could taste the yuck salt water. I was so, so, so wet. I fell back onto my bum to see a massive wave quickly coming straight towards me. I instantly dived out of the way. I landed on some wet rocks. I was soaking wet, freezing cold and needed a hot bath immediately.
My yummy chocolate sauce melted around my mouth. I was extremely excited with what I had made. I loved my sweet sauce I made wit my nana. I had no idea if I could make it or not. I was thinking of Master Chef when they make amazing meals on t.v. I was scared that it would be yuck after I'd spent a long time on my chocolate sauce.
ReplyDeleteThe sauce was going down my mouth with sweetness. Nana and I made a perfect dish and did everything we were supposed to do.
KATIE! Nice story/recount Joe... Good one Jake Yum YUM did you save me any
ReplyDeleteNO Katie i ate it all in the school holidays about 4 weeks ago l.o.l.
ReplyDeleteThe purple jet of light exploded from my wand tip sending the Snatcher soaring to the stars with blinding speed. I prepared for the next wave. As soon as I spotted him I shouted "Stupefy," and with stunning accuracy the spell merged with his face. Annoyingly! Every time one vanquished another took their place. Quite suddenly a sound like a machine gun ripped through the air irritating me more than the enemies. Enraged I shouted, "Confringo," directing the explosive beam towards the red specs coming from behind the rock causing the attacker to somersault away. I had prepared to cast a protective charm. It was only then I realised I had beaten the challenge!! I felt this was my greatest achievement in the game so far.
ReplyDeletehi Levi here.nice recount michael
ReplyDeleteReally good snapshot Micheal, it made me feel like I was right there.
ReplyDeleteP.s Miss Paterson will you be putting all of our stories on the blog.
Cool snapshot story Joe, 'Gum from mars' :-}
ReplyDeleteI am hoping to get everyone's snapshot posted on here as they are finished Angus :) People have worked so hard that we need to share them.
ReplyDeleteLike your story Michael - you gonna be an author?
ReplyDeleteMichael, I really liked your snapshot, it was really descriptive and i felt like i was Harry Potter. Great work!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat snapshot writing Room 5. Joe has just told me what a Destroyer is, I was very confused?! I agree with Angus, Michael,your writing did make me fell as though I was there. I loved your descriptive sentence comparing your movements to mad dogs trying to get off a chain, Katie. That's just what it can be like in the sea. Jake, the way you wrote about the chocolate sauce makes me a bit hungry for some, you do know that teacher aides like chocolate sauce too? :)
ReplyDeleteJake you should have saved some for us ==@
