WALT: USE STORY STARTERS IN THE DARK As we look through the window our hope turned into shock. We started running away from the window. It just Zachary, Reid, Riley.F, Riley.L and I, (Byron) were hiding for our lives because outside the old Castle was monsters coming to get us. We don’t know why but all we know is that we have to hide. It was a dark and stormy night, thunder was cackling like mad and the lightning was lighting up the place. We see something in the distance, Then when lightning flashed it was gone. When we looked we saw a lot of hair all over Riley .F and he was going really long nails. Something had happened to him when we weren’t looking. He started howling and then he transformed into a Werewolf.  Riley .F jumped at us then ran away to the other monsters. We ran off to hide. We suddenly heard noises coming after us so we started sprinting and we split off down 4 different hallways. I ran and found a big hall with 3 other exits but then Riley .L, Reid ...

WALT: Write 10 lies about our self's I’ve got scar on my arm because a lion attacked me when I was a baby. I get burnt easily because I went in space and touched the sun caught on fire. I’m a good swimmer because when I was a baby I was abducted by Mermaids. I love Star Wars because my friend was secretly Obi-Wan-Kenobi and he trained me. I’m funny because my Mum was a secret clown going around the town. I am so lazy because my brother was a couch potato and fed himself to me. I love listening to NCS because when I was young i was forced to listen to songs in the basement for 1 year. I am really good at roleplaying games because I am secret actor that performs in Hollywood every night. I am strong because I was told to push down trees and move mountains around when I was a child. I am attracted to shiny things because my granny married a leprechaun and became rich.

WALT: Write a descriptive piece of writing As I get ready to get on the seat a huge rush of adrenaline went through me. I was excited and nervous at the same time but as I sat down on the flying fox chair it all went away and I felt nice and calm. He asked “Permission to launch?”. They said “Is the seatbelt on, Is the hook off, is the rope away.” Phil said yes all 3 times. He asked if my legs were up. I said “Yeah why” and all of a sudden I was flying through the air over 30 K’s an hour. Riley, Reid and Zachary were waving as I went by. I see this huge wooden pole right in front of me and I think i’m gonna hit it but I start going backwards and I zoom back to where everyone was. It stops for a second and then I start traveling forwards again but at about 10 - 13 K’s an hour. I see the pole again. I start going backwards again but this time Tony lets me out the seat and the excitement goes away.

WALT: Write a descriptive peace of writing Imagine, sitting in the shade on nice hot day in front of clear water lapping over each other over and over again. The cool breeze is sailing past me calmly. The birds are chirping away like two ladies at a tea party. The kids are swimming and playing in the water and looking for crabs and fish. The smell of hot chips with ribs and a salad. The sound of the seagulls that are eyeing the chips. I look behind me and there my friends racing to see who gets here first because there was a seat let and on it it had a gift for them. We all hop in the water and it felt like sinking in 12 dozen clouds. It so refreshing and cooling. In the distance we can see a pod of dolphins playing with the fish by chucking them in the air and then another one jumping it in the air. We were thinking that was why there was no fish up here. We get called in for lunch. It was fish and chips with pomegranate juice. We were sitting under the shade because the sun was...
