What will the yr 6 social be like?

Well, the yr 6 social is on Wednesday. I day to go!! My mum is dressing me up like a girl from the 50's. I have a black dress with flowers that are white, yellow, mint and coral colours. We haven't got me any shoes, but I might be wearing ankle socks. I have a mint bead necklace and some leopard print sunglasses. I have no idea what my hair will look like. I also have an eggshell colored hand bag. We have been learning the dances hard out and I know them pretty well now. Apparently, the social has been going on for many years for all the year sixes. I can't wait!

Cliff Jumping.

Summer 2014

I gingerly dipped my toes in the freezing water, not wanting to get in. Mum and my sister called encouragement from further up the beach. My dad was already a little way in the water. He turned around and motioned for me to follow him. I took a deep breath and doggy paddled out to meet him. When I got there I clung to his back like a chipmunk. He started out into the deeper water and the current got stronger. Dad’s feet left the bottom and we were gliding down the river at tremendous speed. Paddling forward, we reached the slippery rocks that marked the bottom of the cliff.

I scrabbled over the rocks, anxious to get out of the water. Dad helped me up. The stone felt rough under my bare feet. I started up the cliff. It was overgrown with weeds and plants and rocks jutted out in awkward places. We finally reached the top. Dad was ready to go. He told me he would jump first and I would follow him.

I watched him spiral down towards the strangely calm water and land with a huge splash. I gulped and stared down at the water. I didn’t want to jump. But I had to. Mum and my sister shouted comforting words. I took a deep breath and jumped. I hung, suspended in the air before plummeting down towards the river. I splashed into the water and felt the cold blanket close over my head. I popped up laughing. I felt like I wanted to carry on doing this for the whole day. It was the best fun I had had in my life.

Scene Writing Term 4

I turn around and in front of my eyes I see a spectacular sight. An isolated scene meets my eyes. White, frosty tree branches reach above the water like icy fingers scratching the cold, crisp air. The freezing water has small ripples on the surface and the small banks are covered in powdery snow. Two tiny ducks glide around under the wooden bridge, which rises majestically above the water. The shimmery water reflects all above it. Snow is heavy on the trees and their branches, drooping down.  A small lamp post stands alone near the bridge. Light blue sky peeks between the trees. A dreamy, serene, snowy scene.
