The high bar

Walt: write a summary of the story.

One evening at the gym Hayley, her friends and her coach were training for the Junior National Championship. Every morning on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday Hayley always goes to the gym at 5.30am. After the gym Hayley walks home with her mum. Telling her mum how much she hates the high bar and that the high bar is a ‘’demon’’. She hated the high bar since she was a little girl. Every Monday, Tuesday and Thursday Hayley would go and talk to the high bar in a very little voice so she doesn’t have to be scared. When hayley was talking to the high bar she didn’t feel scared at all so she swung around in circle. Afterwards she was so proud of herself that she did it on the high bar.

Netball

Walt: use our emotions to describe playing sports.

This week on Tuesday the G.I fantails played against St Mary's red I was really anxious to play because there were heaps of people watching our game. When we were getting ready to play I was so waiting until that beep went so that I could get off the court and watch but that never happened. I didn't like it because I keep on getting pulled up for contact from the empire. I was so happy because we won our first game for the school and our teacher was happy to. I hope that we could win all our games but we're not going to lose some games. When our next game we have I am going to be ready. We are going to do well.

Wylie the eagle

One day in Egypt, Wylie was flying around looking for something to eat. One moment later a sandstorm was coming in really fast so Wylie spotted a wooden pole, and he held on tightly with his claws.

When the sandstorm died down everything was covered with sand and Wylie could not see anything. Wylie went flew into the sky and started looking for something to eat. He flew across the sky a couple of times and he still didn't find anything.

Wylie saw a lizard running across the sand so Wylie swooped down and tried to catch it but it went in between the big rocks. Wylie tried really hard to get the lizard but it was too hard so Wylie got hungrier and hungrier. He thought of eating hippo,crocodile and lots of fish which made him extremely hungry.

Wylie flew right across the Nile River and pulled his wings in tight and put his claws in front of him and glided on the water and caught a lovely fish.
