Partly Cloudy

WE watched a video called Partly Cloudy. We had to write descriptive sentences using adverbs as sentence starters. Here is my piece of writing.

                 Partly Cloudy

Zip! Quickly the bird dropped the babies off. In a  second the white birds were gone.The clouds made the babies; cats, dogs and people. Under all the clouds was a cloud who couldn't make anything. Suddenly he made something but what could it be. His bird had been in the wars. This cloud was not a sun cloud he was a storm cloud! So for the rest of the time he made dangerous babies. The bird did not like this much, in fact not at all. One day his bird decided to go to another cloud. The storm cloud did not know what was
going on. But he came back with gear just in case he got hurt again.

Narrative Writing

We have been learning how to write narratives. Here is a narrative I have written.

Dino time

Once there was a t-rex who people said was evil. He lived in green wet forest with a village nearby.

One day the dinosaur heard a noise. He followed it through the forest to the river. He saw a brown wooden boat. The boat had two men aboard. Bob and Dod saw the evil dinosaur. They tried their hardest to get away.

Suddenly the t-rex stopped and said, “I only want a friend!”
With confused faces Bob and Dod look at each other and whispered, “this dinosaur is crazy.”
Dod shouted to the t-rex, “what is your name?”
The t-rex added, “my name is Dino.”
“Well Dino we're in!”
So the three new best friends all walked home to the village and they lived happily ever after.

WINTER

Winter blows its cold icy breath everywhere.
The early morning frost is crunchy and white covering the green grass.
The loud wind howls in the freezing air like a stray dog hungry for a bone.
Tiny snowflakes flutter down to land on the frozen ground,
covering everything with a white sparkling blanket.
The trees become bare, brown bones standing like statues admiring the view.|
Heavy rain falls from the dark grey sky, pounding against the soggy ground.
Chilly bitterness in the air, winter is here.

Here is my writing!
                           Autumn - DRAFT

Water starts to freeze. As the cold wind blows the green
Leaves off branches. the wind howls as the rain falls and
Scatter along the ground.


                           Autumn - Published

Water starts to freeze. The cold wind blows the green
leaves off branches. Leaves change into reds and oranges. The wind howls as the rain falls and scatters along the wet soggy ground.The next day the lawn is a mess. Autumn is here.
