Kelly Tarlton's

This week we worked in our writing teams to write recounts using hooks, similes and metaphors. We have a good team!


Kelly Tarlton’s

“Hurry up! Get in line!” screeched the teacher as we all piled into the bus. The bus started with a big bang then  we headed off. I glanced out the window to see the beautiful sights. Our chattering made the bus sound  as loud as a cage of giant elephants. Suddenly silence fell over the bus,we were there.

Have you ever slept with the sharks before? That’s what we were planning to do at Kelly Tarlton’s. We stumbled in like a bunch of big fat rhinos. There stood a man with snowy white hair wearing fine-looking clothes with the politest smile. We went silent as he stood in front of us. He was so still he was a statue. “Hello class. My name is Jacob,” he announced with a bold voice. “Come this way,” he said with a sway bellow voice. We walked in silence following him.

Thump! Thump! Our feet banged on the ground like a jumble of giant clashing boulders. The roof above us was a clear tank full of vicious sharks, deep-blue stingrays and cute jellyfish. A light blue shadow flicked by me. “What was that!”I said in shock but no one took any notice of me. I was the invisible man. We carried on down the huge hall.
                                      
After we got into our sleeping bags we tried to fall asleep but the passing sharks kept throwing ghostly shadows that haunted the night. I couldn’t sleep. All I could think about was the shark tank breaking and sharks munching on us. Finally, after a very long long night it was time to go home so we packed up and headed to the bus. “GoodBye! Thank You! “ we yelled and hopped into the bus.

A new digital learning object.

Kia ora
This week we have been trailing how to use Storyboard-That as a digital learning tool.
We had to create a vocabulary storyboard based on the book The Anzac Puppy.
I chose to create most of my images using cartoon backgrounds and people that Storyboard-That has on it's site.
Here is my work.
I love working on Storyboard-That!
