show not tell

Show not tell ...

I felt angry.

It was morning as usual my brother and sister ,hitting me breaking my stuff smashing   a piece of wood across my head ,my fist clenching, my blood pumping,

My heart beating faster and faster my face as red as blood my teeth grinding like razor blades ,my nostrils flaring

It was a sunny day.

i  felt the splash of sunshine across my face as i was lying in a meadow of daffodils.I hear the sounds of birds chirping,trees swaying.this could be the perfect day.

Cross Country (remember show not tell)

It was a blazing flarring day everyone needing sunscreen,people sweating ,it was so hot everyone waiting for their  turn to run the cross country you could see the heat wave splash across the field burning our skin as if  we were right next to the sun.as we ran it felt like that  yet we keep going it can’t be the end to a story we just started that day this story was called cross country like never seen before

Hiwi the kiwi

On thursday everyone was excited to meet Hiwi the Kiwi. when we got to the hall we saw some cool stuff on the stage it was Hiwi the Kiwi  and his guitar  and much more.he was singing a song as we walked in and was making a chant by playing his guitar and telling us to clap our hands.

Then he told us about his wife and how she's a great cook and they have been together for 40 yrs amazing.

Then we sang another song it was so cool and he is quite a comedian very funny and his wife is a cool dancer.

Things i have learn't:

Only put saltwater fish on salt ice that's ice that has been put on salt 

Be careful of mummy daddy fish cause they might have baby fish inside of them so let them lay the eggs and catch the baby ones later

Only pick up a fish with a wet towel so you don't rip any of the scales off cause the fish will get sick and die

SOS stands for save our sea creatures 

if there's birds in the sky circling above water that means there's fish beneath them 

 Mr minstrels name is Mark de lacy
