Recount Writing

For Written Language this term we have been learning how to write recounts. We know that a recount is retelling something that has happened, so we are writing in the past tense. We also know that our events need to be in the right order. We have been learning how to make our writing interesting by including lots of different language features like onomatopoeia (CRASH! BANG! ZOOM! SPLASH!) and similies, metaphors even alliteration.

Tremendous 12, look through your written language book and choose your best Recount to share and publish on our blog. Think of a title for your recount and remember to be cybersafe and only sign off using your initals.
Cant wait to read them :)

  1. the challenge

    DONK!as I walked into a wooden pole Finn was guiding me through the wooden playground.Our misson was to guide each other through the play- ground and only using our voice like "right,left,forward,back,crouch and stand up.It was alot harder then you think because you would donk into poles run into people.I went first it was dark,creepy and red because we had a red blindfold,when finn said "stop" i had already fallen of the edge of the playground splat! that hurt alot it was a scary activity for me because i didn't knowwhat or where i was going i knew it was going to be fun and it was fun the end MK

  2. On tuesday the 8th of March Tremendous Twelve did a blind fold challange at the obstacale course/wooden playground.Me and my buddy Zelma did the blindflod challange together.Zelma wanted to go first.Left,right,down,up,across as i directed her through the playground to the other side.As soon as she finished it was my turn.I was soooooooooo nervous that it felt like i had 10 million butterflies in my stomach.When i went through the playground i allmost donked my head on the bar luckly for Zelmas instructions i would have bumped my head on the bar.When i was 1/2 way through the course we had to stop i was sooooo releved that i did'nt have to go the whole way.It was quit scary when i had to climb up the ladder.I was soooo happy that we finished THE END =>
