Show don't tell 3

This week we had to fill in a show don't tell showing how people have felt in the book so far. We just finished the book running wild and the ending was great I loved it. I hope you enjoy :)

Timeline Running Wild!

This week during literacy we had to create a time line on what has happened so far in the book running wild written by Michael Morpurgo. This task was really fun so I am so glad that it was set for us this week. I hope you like it! :)

Shadow art

During lock down we got to chose to do this shadow art task. I chose to do it because it looked really fun. I also got my family involved. I hope you like it :)

Paralympic Choices

 

 

This week and during lock down we had to chose a few things to do of a choice board to do with the Paralympics. I chose to do the host poster from another year of the Paralympic games I chose Rio because I think it is a really cool place. The other one I chose was the one about explaining to people what boccia is. I hope you love this post :) 

Oona's Story

This week we had to create a story on Oona's perspective until where we are up to now in the story running wild.

Oona’s Story Hi, my name is Oona and I am an elephant that gives rides on the sandy beaches of indonesia. Today there was just something about the sea that I didn’t like at all. I didn’t even go for my morning swim that I usually love so much. I just wasn’t going to take any chances with that water today. Today I had this really kind kid called Will riding me. He looked a little worried trying to get up onto me and when he was up he still held on to the rail very tightly he waved goodbye to his mother and we were off. 

 I loved these walks even though I did the same everyday I guess I just loved imagining what the kids' faces would be like as they rode me. We were about to turn around when I saw something way out on the horizon, something that no'one else could see a tsunami was coming. That was when I knew we had to go as far away from this very beach as possible. 

 I suddenly sprinted. I felt a little bad because Will, the boy that was riding me, nearly fell off at first but then he managed to get back up which I was very glad about. He was also probably wondering what I was doing as I suddenly ran into the jungle which was probably a bit scary for him. I just knew that the longer we walked along that beach the more danger we would be in. I ran for what seemed like days and nights while WIll was either sleeping or slapping my neck asking for food and water. Trust me I would get him food but only when we were a safe distance away. 

 One day when I was just walking we I came across a stream that had no crocodiles which was good so I decided to lie down in the middle so Will could get out and have a big drink of water. He must have been asleep or something because I ended up waiting there for quite some time. Well, it seemed like a very very long time. Finally I felt the wait of Will come off my back and saw WIll swimming across the stream to the other side where he sat and drinked for a long time and really wanted to play with him so I completely submerged myself under the water, the best hide and seek spot ever isn’t it? 

He got very grumpy at me. I don’t know why I was just playing. I think he thought that I had just left him so I decided to pop my head back up to the surface to see what he was doing. He looked quite surprised that I had just been trying to play with him and he actually started playing with me which was really fun. 

 We started walking again and I picked some figs from high up on the branches and gave them to Will. He was really grateful. I ate some too of course but mainly just leaves and twigs. 

 We walked for a few more hours when I heard a snap of a branch and an orange and black striped shadow emerged into the clearing where we were both standing. It was a tiger. I had had many encounters with these creatures before so I was not worried. WIll probably was though. I said to the tiger to go away and leave us alone or I will stamp on you and you will cry in pain. Guess what he actually went away which is very cool I felt pretty cool too.

Tsunami Writing

This week during lock down we had to do a task on what it would of been like to be on the beach when the tsunami came and how you would feel. We have started a book called running wild and it is about a boy who is on an elephant when a tsunami comes on to the beach that he is riding on. This book is really good so far so maybe you could read it one day. Hope you enjoy it :)
