America's Next Top .............

I dived into the icy cold water and felt a burst of excitement take over me. This is it, I thought to myself. I twisted in as many shapes as possible trying to get a good shot. I wasn't taking any notice of the many fish and dangerous sharks that surrounded me. Suddenly, I noticed a look of fear come over my photographers face, was it something I did? I hear a series of screams, I turn, the glass screeches, my heart stops, theres a 10ft shark heading straight towards me and it doesn't look happy. What am I doing? I thought to myself, this pussy shark is no match for me. I dodged left and right, I punched and kicked, the monterous looking shark swam away in fear. "Beautiful, amazing" my photographer yelled. "You are the one and only America's Next Top Polar Bear!"

My term 3 goals

Writing

I think I am doing really well in the area of writing. I know how to use most language resources but there’s always room for improvement.

I would like to use more originality in my writing and I need to step out of my comfort zone. I want to get better at showing rather than telling (painting a picture in my readers head) I need to use more words that describe sight, sound, smell, taste and touch.

I am reasonably good with spelling, punctuation and grammar but I think I need to edit more carefully so I can correct any mistakes I have missed.


Maths

I think I have done really well in maths this year. I would like to get better at comparing and dividing fractions. I think I need to work on my higher times tables (20x and up).


Production

I am really looking forward to production! I love my dance and I am so glad I got a speaking role. On the night if I don’t trip up in the dance or forget my lines I’ll be happy.


Speeches

I am going to try and be confident while I’m speaking and I am going to try and memorize my speech so my words flow better.

The House on the corner

Dark shadows loomed overhead, gravestones creaked in the ghastly cold wind, a loud thump came from the top story of the murky prehistoric house. The rusted gate groaned in the ice cold breeze .I became a statue, frozen with fear. I saw something move swiftly behind the cracked window, the door handle turned gradually, the smell of must filled the air, everything stopped, the door bolted open...
