We did writing modeled a little on James K Baxter’s
writing.
The street was usual enough. Leaning and hard to get
past. We played on the path next to the street.
We crossed the street safely and were careful. We did what boys and Dads
do, played together and felt excited.
Rory
The town was usual enough with single houses, a big
beach and buildings. We biked, played soccer,
played rugby and ran races. We did what families
do exploring together.
Izak
The street was usual enough, round abouts, flat roads,
trees and grass. We scootered with
friends. We said “Hi” to neighbors and
made new friends. We did what families
do having heaps of fun and spending time together all playing in the back yard
and getting messy.
Kendal
The town was usual enough, jewellery shop, MacDonald’s
and straight roads. My granny lives at
the jewellery shop. Me and my sister saw
Muda the dog. I think he is a German
Shepherd. We did what families do being
caring, nice and kind.
Flynn
The beach was usual enough. It had sand, water, fish and sky all over
it. When it snowed we slid down the
hills on black bags. On hot days we went
to the beach and played in the water. Sometimes me and my family dug big
holes. That is what my family does best.
Casey
The room was usual enough. It had three teddies, one net and a tea
set. I’d read books. We did what
brothers and sisters do and had adventures down the back of the house. We found
hats, cats and mats and even butterflies. I felt exhausted. I fell asleep on the ground.
Izobella
The country was usual enough, tall hills, fun hot
parks, massive cold forests. We went to
Uncle Brett’s for a scrummy tea and swim.
Had a go on the fast motorbike.
We did what cousins usually do
Luke
The room was usual enough. It had skateboard shelves, a big desk with
books, a narrow cupboard and a funny little squeaking monkey. We talked together, played Lego and read
Harry Potter. We did what families do
best, run and work together and have an enthusiastic time.
Mason
The town was usual enough. The roads were bumpy and rough. We played running games. Blue skies above us. Tripping over unusual cracks on the ground. Roadwork’s everywhere. Playing all day like cousins do. On motor bikes on the farm, scootering on creamy
concrete, looking for rabbits, feeling different and lucky.
Caleb
The town was usual enough. Curved and wild roads,
parks, trees, nice and warm. My friend
and I liked to play on the trampoline.
We went to the park. We read at
night because we wanted to be better readers.
We did what friends do. Played
games and have extra fun.
Taylor
The city is usual enough. Wobbly roads, tall and fat houses, golf
courses, trees, after shocks and earthquakes.
There’s bouncy bumps and quiet and sleepy roads. Every night the birds twitter and people try
to get to sleep. We visited MacDonald’s. Went to school. And to Toy World. Me and my brothers play wrestling and rugby
and soccer and play cricket. Cooper and
me play Wii and Jackson
plays play station. We did what brothers
do. Fight and enjoy life and have 5
times as much fun as we mostly do.
Brodie
The city was usual enough. Sandy and dark and smooth and tiny and with a
spiky tree on the other side of long grass.
We ran around the block 3 times. We scootered around speeding on the
street. We did what brothers do, hang
around all the time and wrestle on the tramp and play cricket.
Ollie
The house was usual enough. It had cream bricks and white walls. A lot of trees and a play house. Me and my brother played around in my room. We slept in my room. Watched TV and played outside on my trampoline. We did what families do. Played together, went to the park together and
never left anyone behind.
MacKenzie
The house was usual enough. Old grass, concrete a bumpy drive, two small
cars. We played sport, ran around and
feed fish and played Wii. We did what brothers do, played and argued over
games.
Noah
The street is usual enough. Curly and busy. We did
what brothers do. Biking fast like Lightening McQueen. Running zippy like cars and scottering as
hasty as a cheetah.
Ryan
The room was usual enough. Colourful duvet cover, one
big teddy, one long desk, two little lights.
I drew on my desk all the time. I
slept in the colorful bed and cut some stuff out that I drew with my
stencils. We did what families do,
wearing slippers, coloured in, cut stuff out.
Ashleigh
The room was usual enough. I did my nails and watched TV. I read my book and picked up my cell phone
and played some games. It had colourful
walls and a desk as well, an owl duvet cover, and pillow. I just sat around on my cell phone playing
games. Just doing what girls do. Sometimes my friends came over and we had pillow
fights.
