My Xtramath result

This is my xtramath result. I got seven in a row. I could get better by practicing my basic facts at home and school. I am proud of myself because I have improved a lot in my basic facts. I think I am getting better at my subtraction, all I need to do is get really fast at them.

Delivering the mail

Delivering the mail

Ohhh “I sighed” do I have to deliver that mail each day. I quietly walked past my neighbours house without making a noise or that dog will chase me. I quickly stuffed their mail in the mailbox until I heard a woof! Aaaaaaaah! I screamed out loud! That dog always chases me. Five more steps after I looked behind, that dog was still behind me. I looked behind and he was just staring at my bag in a furious way. I have never seen that dog chase anybody else so why chase me.

The dog woofed once,then twice, and then he hopped in the bag as quick as possible. He tried running so the dog could come out but the dog was all quiet now. The mail man wanted to look inside but he was just too scared. After a few minutes the dog started barking over and over again. Few minutes after he got really angry.

 
This is my introduction I wrote. I feel very proud because I used a lot of adjectives. Please read it and leave a comment.

Sucked into the movie screen

Sucked into the movie screen

One stormy night everyone could hear that loud thunderstorm. My family and I were so bored we decided to go to the movies and hopefully we wouldn’t hear that loud, annoying thunderstorm. I could see nothing when we went inside it was deep dark and we couldn’t see a thing. When we sat down I heard that thunder storm again. I took a step and moved to a different chair.

Aaahhh! Aaaah! I screamed out loud. Did it really have to give us a fright. I was really scared of that storm. Finally I saw people coming in and out and that was about time the movie had started. We were watching the Smurfs 2. I was hoping the movie would be louder than the thunderstorm but I thought wrong. The storm got even louder. Every step I took would just make me furious and worried. I could picture that awful thunderstorm and hear that BOOM! noise. Did it really have to be a bad day? It looked liked I was the only one who couldn’t stop thinking about  the thunderstorm everyone else was just watching the movie just like normal people do.

This was really worrying me. The movie so funny but I was still worried. Will we get sucked into the movie screen I said? After a few minutes all the people laughed and the screen opened and something came out. It was black and it was shape of a pipe maybe it was a vacum pipe.Just two minutes after everyone got sucked in that was really scary. I knew something was wrong about this place I could just imagine it. When we got sucked we turned into a smurf. I think it had to be part of the movie but it still was a little bit fun. I looked at my height and I turned into a little midget. It was fun because it was like we were in smurfs world. We turned into the movie theater once again and that was when the movie stopped. Was that meant to happen?

I still had fun and I enjoyed it. That was the weird day ever.

THE END

This is my narrative. I feel so proud of my narrative because I had a good problem and a good ending.

Making fish for dinner

Making fish for dinner

One sunny morning Jake and his father could hear the birds tweeting. They were hoping it would be a nice day tomorrow too. Jake looked in the cupboards and nothing was there  to eat. They thought maybe we should have fish for the whole day. Jake was too excited he accidently forgot to pack his fishing gear. He hopped in the car and they were ready to go. When they arrived at the Tamaki river Jake moaned and growled. Jake wasn’t expecting it here but that was the only close one. The    other river took miles and miles.

Jake's father chucked his fish rod in the water and all of a sudden he was screaming aaaaaah. He took his fishing rod out and told Jake to get the big bucket to put the fishes in it. Jake’s face was in shock like an exploding tomato. Jake just released that he left everything at home. Jake asked his father if he could use his fishing rod. Off he went and put his fishing rod in the water, then it was starting to get really heavy. It took a while to get it out without getting any help. Jake’s father was just sitting down reading the newspaper.

After a while he was still waiting there without any help. Jake got really excited because he was wondering if he was going to break the world record on getting the humongous fish. His father got up and thought it was just going to be 1 heavy gumboot with stinky rocks in them. Once Jake took it out it turned out true. His father said “ why don’t we have a competition” Jake said “ Yes why not “ in a dead voice.

Let’s start it straight away! YAY!!!!! screamed Jake.

First his father went back home and got the tin and came straight back. It was Jake’s turn first. Aaaaaaah what's that he screamed out loud. It came out and it was a big, gigantic fish with large scales on it. He quickly put the grey fish in the pot. When his father was going to have his turn, he didn’t have time because it was nearly dinner time.  Jake’s father had to go back and get a bigger tin because the other one couldn’t fit in it. When they came back the grey fish was gone. They were in real shock. They came back they only had little bit of time left to do some more fishing. The father caught a bigger fish than the other fish. It looked the same but just bigger.

They went back home and washed the fish and served it to there family. Jake went home very happy at least they still had a fish. Jake and his father caught a very big fish so they called all their family and friends. They came to eat that very big fish. They were really tired like a dead fish. After fishing for a long time they lived happily ever after.

This is my narrative. I feel proud of my narrative because I used some interesting adjectives. I also feel proud that I also used simile. Please comment on by blog.

Choosing my costume

                         Choosing my costume

Yuck! Yuck! Yuck! I’m not going like that! Where is my costume. Aaaaah!! as I panicked as I chucked everything out from my cupboard. ‘’ Chelsee ‘’ as her mum screamed out loud. One step, then two steps, she ran back to her room. Chelsee was so worried she wouldn’t have a costume by Halloween. Chelsee was hoping that she would dress up as a spooky ghost like her other friends. Chelsee was not like her other friends because every time she had pocket money she would lose it every second. As she chucked everything from her cupboard she stepped on something. She had a plan.

She stepped on a necklace. As she stepped on it she was hoping she would be a beautiful princess but as she was thinking she still had no pocket money. She was hoping her plan would work. As she was worried her heart was pounding every single second. Suddenly she thought “ I don’t need to buy my halloween costume” she said quietly to herself but she was still worried her friends wouldn’t like it. Chelsee was so worried she didn’t want to go anywhere except her room. Chelsee was so worried she didn’t want her friends to think that she couldn’t buy a cheap costume. “That’s it” I know what I’m going to wear! YAY!

Chelsee looked in her mum’s room and she found everything that she wanted. She thought maybe I could be a princess after all. She took her mum’s expensive makeup purse that was full of makeup, expensive sun glasses, and her gold sparkling earrings that costed $100,000.00. She didn’t want to ask because she thought it was just one night and she would put them back. She quickly went back to her room and took her pink glittering high heels and her dark pink lipstick. She was really excited because she thought she would be the one that stands out from her friends. Her friends were going to pick her up in about 10minutes. Chelsee was taking her time, she thought she was so early (even though she was nearly late). She quickly rushed her clothes on her and slammed the door. BANG!

Twenty minutes after she came home looking really really dirty. Chelsee’s mum got really furious when she came home late but she didn’t know about all her stuff chelsee was using. She looked at her earrings, they were broken to pieces. Everything looked broken and dirty. Chelsee quickly went and tried fixing it. “My face was in real shock like an exploding tomato”. Chelsee went to her mum’s room and chucked everything where it went. She forgot to clean them and fix them. She quickly went to her room and went to sleep. The next day Chelsee’s mum woke up and punished Chelsee. Her punishment was that she wasn’t aloud to visit her friends for a month. Chelsee’s mum was real angry. She still had fun eating her lollies and she lived sadly without her friends for a month.

My favourite adjective is furious because it's interesting instead of saying angry. I feel proud that I have used a figurative language - simile... like an exploding tomato in my narrative. Please read my narrative and post a comment.
