Writing story
WALT this week make a story about a paper bag.
This week we made a story about a paper bag and today we edit And re craft here it is
The Bag of Intrigue
BEEP BEEP BEEP ‘’uh it's the alarm’’ I get up mum says breakfast is ready! I smell the fresh taste of toast as I rush down the stairs, get ready, brush my teeth, get changed and take one bite and rush to school. I live right next to it in the suburbs. I love it here with the birds chirping.
I get to school when the bell rings and go to class. We are doing math, my favorite subject I like so much so time goes by so fast that I didn't even notice that the bell rang. I went out to play when all of a sudden the class bully came, his name is Lusty. He just stole a kids lunch as he approached me “hey give me your lunch money I say “I don't have any money” Lusty says“ well you're gonna pay” I get up and sprint away faster as i've ever been I get to the cafeteria where Lusty leaves me alone.
There is an old gremlin lady who brings out a bag and leaves. I go and inspect it. I look closer and it starts moving then suddenly BAM! A small alien half the size of me comes with big black eyes. It's kinda cute. I took it home and hid it from mum. Mum says “dinners ready” as I come down the stairs. I'm so caught up in thinking that I found an alien in a bag that I tripped and fell down the stairs. “Are you okay?” says mum. “Yes mum”
I see two big scary men in black suits they say that there is someone else here I realize there for the alien I say “I have to pee'' and I go up to check on him I go out the window and leave I ask him “where are you from” he says “mars” so I decided to try hijack a rocket in the morning I go back home and tell mum about everything and she lets me go. I know that NASA the rocket company are launching a rocket in 1 hour for a test so I rush to the place and mum gave me some money for a taxi as I get there there is 20 minutes left I see the big black men there again I see a scientist as I sneak past him I get in there I see the rocket A scientist sees me “GET HIM” they say I rush to the rocket it says ten, nine, eight, seven then he disappears as he has teleport into the rocket as I wave goodbye I go back home and the scientist says im in a lot of trouble but this is a warning as I go home I feel good, the end.

Writing
WALT edit and re craft
This week we had to make a writing about a fox. Here it is
Fox vs Wolf
In the bushes you see an orange tail getting ready to pounce. A little mouse is slowly walking past, in a flash the fox pounces and the mouse is sprinting away while the fox gives chase, as they leap around the forest a cliff comes up the mouse jumps and falls into the darkness. The fox hears the noise of the mouse squealing for its life as the fox sees red evil terrifying eyes peering at him .The fox runs away. He then gets distracted by a butterfly and frolic around it, until it sees a cloud consuming him.
The fox runs to a cliff where it climbs up and goes into its cave where it has its belongings. There is a doll and a blanket he lies there while the booming of rain falls as the fox sits there. Suddenly he sees black outlines of wolves chasing the whole forest. The cry of a deer echoes around
He wakes up as you see a waterfall across from the fox he goes over there to drink he sees a fish he leaps into the water getting the fish in his mouth he got it, but then a wolf comes and lickes the water. Blood goes through the water as the fox holds his breath as the wolf looks directly at him, he leaves the fox and comes up shocked with fear he runs away
The wolf waiting sprints at him. They run all around the forest, the fox climbs up a tree the wolf follows, barely jumps from one tree to another his front legs are barely hanging on, and he lifts himself up. Under the tree is a big hole going very deep if he were to fall he will surely die there is a tree on the other end, so he jumps while the wolf open his mouth and just as he's going to bite him he leaps in the air he jumps on and barely makes it as the wolf falls as the fox gets away the forest is safe.
Feedback from Caleb: Well done Xavier I like how you used the paragraphs. Keep up the good work.
