Biking

In class we had to write about our Safe Cycling that we had on Thursday in week 5. We had to write in present tense and had to describe as much as we can. Here is my description of Safe Cycling.

Bang, bang goes the ramp as you come flying off. Then you go flying down the straight and all you can hear is HURRY UP!  Bumping up and down as you ride along the ladder, then try not to fall off while swerving in and out of cones.

Then when you almost reach the line... screeeeeeeeech! It sounds like when you jam on your brakes on the wet pavement. When it’s your turn again you felt excited, and when you finish the course all you want to do is the whole course again. As you jump to the ground from the seesaw it feels as if you are jumping off from a two storey building.

As you see people zoom past you it is hard to tell who they are. Then another course is set up and I am  the first one to have a go. At the end of the court you have to stop and look left and right then you have to ride over a ladder, then ride in and out of cones then screeeeeech to a stop and wait, wait, still waiting, even more waiting.  Oh yay, another course, this is going to be easy... but it isn’t because we are crashing into each other, going round and round in a circle. Soon after  it is all over, yay… I’m very tired.

I think I gave biking my best effort and I had a great time!

Snowboarding

In class we have been learning to write a description. This is about  Zoi Sadowiski-Synnott who goes for gold but gets bronze at the snowboarding in the Winter Olympics at Pyeong. We had to include present tense and sights and sounds.

Zoi is raring to go as she waits for the traffic light to turn green. Ding Ding Ding goes the bell as she scurries down the slope to the big jump. As she approaches the ramp the board smoothly slides up to the edge. Fling goes the back of the board, and she’s off flying into the frosty air. She attempts a double backflip and she bounds through the air with lots of momentum to keep her going. Slam, goes the board as she hits the ground. Zoi has a big smile on her face as she skids to a halt to catch sight of her fans cheering her name.

Wasp Nest

Recently Miro brought a wasp nest to school to show the class. Here is my descriptive writing about the nest. We used our seven writing prompts that are shape, size, position, number, colour, texture and  doing to help us describe. Here is my writing.


Wasp Nest
Recently Miro brought a wasp nest to school to show everyone . He had found it while picking raspberries in his garden.

The wasp nest is crumbly and dry and it still had a live wasp in it when we cut it open. Where the wasp had hatched you can see the cells are hexagon shaped. A cell is a place where a wasp would lay an egg. The outer shell of the nest feels like very thin, dry cardboard that is rough and jagged. The cells that are joined together are called combs which are joined together with mud that we call pillars. The wasp nest  feels like thin paper but is actually made out of wood from a fence or house. When we opened up the nest there were loads of dead wasps. They had also made the nest out of straw. The wasps built the nest around a rock. You can see the hole where the wasps would have came in and out from the nest. The cells look like the inside of a cardboard box. I accidently broke the nest but now we can see how its built. Now and then a wasp will hatch out of one of the cells and scare the whole class. The colour of the wasp nest is light brown. We left the wasp nest outside and more wasps hatched. It is shaped like a ball.  There are more than one hundred cells in the nest.

In conclusion I think that wasps are pests and I hate them!
