Once upon a time, there lived a woman named Princess Phoenix.

Her mother was the queen of Arendelle. Princess Phoenix became Queen Phoenix. Suddenly a flame hit Phoenix and she became the Queen of flames. 

Her sister was a Queen named Elsa the Queen.

They always would fight and both of them would get hurt so they separated. 

Elsa went to the north mountain and Phoenix went to the desert but it was far too hot. They each made a castle. They would not want to see each other forever.

Finally their loved ones stopped them from fighting. And everything became normal.

On a stupendous Saturday, my spectacular friend Levi, Aunty, my wonderful mum and I, all went to the fantastic Miranda hot springs. 

When we got there, we got dressed and started to play. I did a big, fat splash! Levi had a nice swimming top on and cool shorts. He has short, black hair, tan skin, crisp brown eyes, a flat nose and a happy smile. 

As we played I sank to the bottom of the pool and meditated. But it was far too hot to stay down there for long.

Treasure

The class watched "Treasure" on the Literacy Shed. They retold it, describing the main character.

Once upon a time, there was a delightful, old lady who lived in the junk yard because she was poor. One night she went out of her junk yard tent and went to the junk. 

Next she found a tea cup. Smash! The cup tumbled out of her hand and into little tiny bits. After that she sat in a not so clean car and she found a little christmas tree. When she grabbed that little christmas tree the chair fell backwards. Suddenly she found a little box. When she opened the box she found a beautiful diamond ring with a beautiful pearl necklace. They looked really great!

Soon she went back to her tent and decorated it. She put a grey tin over a candle and the little christmas trees by the lamp. She put the ring on the tin. It looked beautiful. So she just sat in her chair and looked at the sparkles shining on the tent. And then she went to sleep.

Once In a Lifetime

The class watched a video on Literacy Shed. They then wrote their own narrative based on the video, changing some aspects and adding an ending. 
Mharsal has used adjectives to describe the setting and characters. He has also included adverbs to make his story more interesting and exciting. The paragraphs have been added by the teacher. 

Once upon a time an old, old pirate lived in an old brown flying boat. But then the boat broke. The thing that broke was the sails so the brown boat couldn't move. 

But then some green, dotted, flying, humongous turtles came by and the old man had an idea. So the old man threw the brown rope onto a turtles neck. The poor turtle pulled and pulled. The old man looked at the rope. It was about to break! Suddenly it snapped in half and the old man was sad because it rubbed on the wood and that's how ropes break.

But luckily, there was one more turtle following behind. It made a squeaking sound and the old man was happy. Silently he waited for a little bit, then he jumped quietly onto it's light, blue shell. Now the old pirate was joyful. Silently the old man and the turtle flew away. 

They found an island of flying turtles. The turtle landed silently on the green, soft grass. The old man said, "Wow! This place is ginormous!" He looked around the whole place and found beautiful green palaces. There was somewhere for him to sleep so when it was night he slept on his bed in a palace. 

He slept and slept all night. But he dreamed about going back home. Finally it was morning and the old man was feeling gloomy. Eventually the old man saw a turtle going for a trip. The old man quietly ran to the green turtle and he made it. They flew loudly and when they flew the old man saw his brown wooden house. 

The old man said, "Go down there green, humongous turtle." But the turtle did not understand so the old man pointed down and now the turtle understood. Finally the turtle landed. When they landed the old man was pleased. He was at his home. Then he walked inside the brown wooden door and old man was glad he was at his own house.

We have been sketching native birds, looking carefully at the shape of their bodies, beaks and feet and at the texture of their feathers. Today we practised shaping our birds with dough and using iceblock sticks to create the texture of their feathers.
