Week 36 – Story Starter

Once upon a time, a family went to their garden to pull out their carrot. They only had one carrot. When they pulled it out, it was small. So they put it back in because they didn’t want a small carrot. Two years later, they pulled it out again. Now, it was huge. It was as tall as a person. It was 2 metres tall!

One day, when they finished school for the year, they went to the beach to camp. When they went to the beach, they brought their big carrot. They built a fire for light at night time. They also used the fire to roast the carrot. While the carrot was roasting, they danced around the carrot. They loved carrots. They were happy that they had the biggest carrot in the whole world.

They ate the carrot and they finished it all up and fell asleep on the sand because they were tired from dancing.

The end.

Week 35 – Invent (A Big Ball of String)

I’m going to make a bridge out of string. Across the Bow River. I’m going to tell you how. First, you take a big ball of string and you tie one of the ends to a tree and the other end to another tree across the river. The water isn’t very deep, so you wear shorts and you walk across the river to other side. Climb up a hill, and then you have the other end of the string with you in your hand and you tie it to the tree. Now, you can go back and forth as long as you want. Back and forth across the bridge. You have to hang onto the string with your right hand, and then your left hand holds on, then your right, then your left and keep doing that until you get across. You have to move your hands one in front of the other, until you get to the other side. It’s not a very good bridge, but the string is all I have to use.

Week 33 – Narration

The first thing you see when you walk into the room is a big, huge, dark blue, twisty water slide. The pool water smells like chlorine. You see white chairs beside the big blue pool. After you go into the big pool, there is a hot tub. The hot tub feels warm. Once I went down to the bottom of the hot tub. There is a button on the wall and the sign says, “Please press this button and there will be bubbles.” When you press the button, bubbles come in the hot tub, not in the big pool. The bubbles make a sound but don’t have a smell. The bubbles make a “bab ba bab buh ba blub” sound. There are also lots of kids in the room and some people jump into the water and make a splash. It is noisy because of splashes and everyone is talking and yelling “weeeeeeeeee” down the big slide. There are ladders and steps so you can get in the water. The floor is wet and slippery. Mommy and Daddy tell us not to run because we will slip! And, at the other side of the big pool there are ladders on all the sides, at the top, and the sides. At the other side of the pool, it is DEEP! Mommy and Daddy told me not to go in there because I will drown. They also told me to stay near the stairs because it is not deep. There is a shower to wash off the chlorine when you’re done swimming in the big pool and the hot tub.

The End!

I wish you enjoy the story!

Week 31 – Synthesis

A vivid description of going to the Bow Habitat.

This week we went to the Bow Habitat. It was very fun! We got to feed lots of fish. There were billions of fish! The fish were in gigantic tubs of water. It smelled like fish. We weren’t allowed to touch the fish because we would get the fish sick and they would die. We don’t want to do that because we don’t want to kill the fish. That’s why before we went into the room where the fish were in the tubs, we washed our hands.

You should go to the Bow Habitat because you’ll learn about fish.

The End

Week 30 – Synthesis

Describing sausages from “See How It’s Made”

They make sausages in a factory. This is how they make it. You’ll have to get a pig and kill the pig to get the meat for the sausages. You bake the pig. Then someone grinds up the meat. Then they put it in a curved tube like the shape of a sausage. Then they grab the tube and put it over the fire for a few minutes. When the sausages are done, you wash the sausages and then you put the sausages on a plate and eat them!

The End.

Week 29 – Story Starter

Once upon a time, when it was night time, I looked up at the sky and I saw a flying saucer. Then a dog came and I found a leash on the ground so I put the leash on the dog. Then I pointed to the moon because it was straight above the flying saucer. Then the flying saucer was going down slowly. It almost hit my head! But when it was straight above my head I thought it was going down even more but then it moved to the right. Then it went to the left and went back and forth.

I didn’t know that it was a dream. When I woke up I was back in my bed. I looked out the window and I saw the flying saucer! That was strange. I thought it was a dream.

The End

Week 28 – Imagination Writing

Blue oatmeal in the style of Green Eggs and Ham.

I do not like blue oatmeal. I would not chew a goat wheel.

I will not eat it in a tree. I would not eat it with a bee.

I would not eat it in a box. I would not eat it with a fox.

I do not like blue oatmeal. I’d rather chew a boat seal.

“Try it, try it, Abigail. I think you’ll like it Abigail.”

I tried it and wouldn’t you know, I like blue oatmeal so much so!

Week 26 – Communication

Dear Leah,

Thank you for the book that you gave me. I love it but it is all used up. I used it for drawing pictures of you. I also used it for writing letters to you. I also drew pictures of Grandpa and Grandma. 

What do you draw in your books? May you please write back to me?

Love,

Abigail

P.S. I wanted to write this letter in my book that you gave me but it’s all used up.
