Holiday Writing

Welcome back to Term 2. The Trailblazers have had an enthusiastic start with some great writing all about our holidays. We are sharing our favourite part of our holiday in a format called 'A Moment in Time'. It involves us writing eight sentences that start with 'I saw', 'I felt', 'I heard' and 'I wondered'. Our learning intentions are to write using WOW words and to use 'show not tell'. Here are a few snippets from some of the students:

"I heard the quad's powerful engine grumbling like a dog that hasn't had  enough to eat." By Isaac

"I felt the vibration tingle up my feet when I dropped it." By Jack

"I also saw the glazing red fire that was spreading across the jungle." By Yara

"I felt the rough rope clenched in my hand." By Sakura.
