Pool time fun

I opened my curtains and saw the tar popping mad like never before. I was eating breakfast at 7:o’clock when I already started to sweat. At 10:o’clock I went on my scooter for an hour then we went to Madeline’s so Carl can mow her lawns, how boring. Patrick, Charlie and I went for a swim in her sparkling clear pool, with the sun beaming down on it. As I walked in I dipped my foot in the pool, then I stood straight for a moment with my foot still in the freezing and relaxing pool. I was still sweating until I jumped in “aah how refreshing’’ I said. I grabbed a pumped up dolphin and sat on it then I hopped of and tried to touch the bottom, by the time I touched the bottom the water was way above my head. At about 4: o’clock we had a water fight for about half an hour then we had some nuggets, chips and salad yum! Then I went back in the sparkling pool. After an hour we went home and watched some TV then I went to bed.

We are learning about the structure of a recount and why we may need to write one. Here is a recount about my summer.

This bio poem tells you a little about me richard

Sorrowful hearts Christchurch.

Trapped, dead, heart broken.

Disaster. Pray lost relatives.

Friends. Cracks, ground.

Destroyed buildings, shaking.

Ground, smashed cars I won’t forget.

Such a disaster Christchurch.

Wonderful place ruins. We are learning about emotive language and how waords can recount an event. we had to write two poems, one on the earthquake the other on swimming sports. this demonstrated how different language choices can effect the reader and the images they get in their minds.
