A Shortcut

The cows were a surprise to Amy.  They weren’t usually in the field that
was sometimes used as a shortcut to get to the beach path.
 She was only about halfway across when she had the feeling
that someone was behind her.
Turning around she had seen six large dribbling cows coming towards her.  T
hey must have come from under the trees at the far corner of the field.
They got closer with every step. Their heavy breathing and wet eyes frightened her.

She stopped, frozen to the spot.  The cows stopped too. Silent and still, they seemed to study Amy.  
Then slowly they moved forward. Their big feet made only a soft sound on the grass.  She looked around.
There was nobody in sight. Her heart was beating fast and her mouth felt dry.  

She took a step backwards.  The cows didn’t move. Slowly she backed up a few more steps.
 The cows moved forward. They were now just an arm’s length away.
 Trembling Amy backed up step by step, to the fence.

She turned and scrambled over as fast as she could.  The cows watched as she ran down the path. Then they lost interest, and they turned and wandered away from the fence. a.  Why didn’t Amy know the cows were in the field?

The Flagman

The man who lives across the road from me has a flagpole in his front yard.  He has lots of different flags, I always look to see which one is flying.

He has one with a bright yellow sun on it and he puts it up on hot summer days.  He put it up on a dark day in the middle of winter a couple of years ago. It didn’t make me feel any different and he hasn’t done it again.  Some of his flags advertise things, some have pictures like the one with the sun, and some are just designs. He loves them all.

He’s not a young man, and he tripped one day, stumbled forward and fell against the wall of his house.  The next thing I knew, he had his arm in plaster and in a sling. The day after that I was surprised to see that his flag was not at the top of the flagpole.  Flying a flag low means someone has died.

 

a. Who is the first up in the morning, the man across the road or the writer?  The man across the road Why do you say that? Because he don’t know what to put up on the flagpole

b.  Why do you think he flew the flag with the sun on it in the middle of winter? Because the man across the road it didn’t make him feel in a different way and it hasn't been done before .  

c.  Had someone died?  Someone did not die  Why do you say that? Because that the writer was surprised the flag wasn’t up the top of the flagpole it was at the bottom of it

d.  Why did the writer help the man raise the flag higher?

Because the man across the road was upset because He undid the rope and awkwardly tugged on it,so they raise the flag  higher

Reaction question: I will do the same because it will make me happy .

Mum’s Miracle

What is a miracle?  
A miracle is when something happens that you would never have thought could
happen in a million years.

 There seems to be no explanation for it either.

We lived in the country when I was growing up.
 My brother wandered off late one afternoon and got lost in the hills behind our place.
 We were desperate to find him.
The family and the neighbours went out, looking and calling his name.  
It was my mother that found him. She just walked around a tree and there he was,
looking at a huge wild boar that was coming straight at him

She can’t remember flying at the boar and kicking it under the jaw.  
She knows it stopped in its tracks.
She remembers tucking Jared under her arm and running back to safety with him.
 Those who were close behind, saw the boar.
They said it was one of the biggest they’d ever seen and they looked at my mother with great respect after that day.  
She could never say how she did what she did or even how she thought of it.
When one of the neighbours caught the boar later in the year, s
he took one look at it and fainted clean away.Some people say that a butterfly coming out of a cocoon is a miracle, but I think that if you can explain it, or if it happens a lot, then it’s not.

a.  What was the miracle in this story?

The writer mum kick the boar and save her son

b.  Why do you think they were desperate to find Jared?

They were worried about him and also scared because

There were a boar   

c.  Why was the writer’s mother looked at with great respect?

Because she kick the biggest boar and save her  son

d.  Why did my mother ‘faint clean away’ when she saw the boar?  The writer mum fainted away because that was the

Biggest boar  that she kick .  

Reaction question: My Reaction is 100% believe that the writer mum kick the biggest boar.

Would you have done what Jared’s mother did? I would give respect and honor Why do you say that? Because what she did saving the son and kick the biggest boar

This week for reading I have been doing Key Into Evaluation and we did been answering question about the writer mum kicking the biggest boar and it was fun reading and sharing ideas to other so they can learn more what is all about .

The city’s geese had made such a noise when they heard the enemy coming, that the sleeping people had woken and fought them off.

Fred’s geese spent their days at the back of the yard, and had the run of the whole place at night. Fred said they were cheaper than dogs or an ordinary alarm system.

Jonathan-Leap of faith

Leap of faith

The sun had gone down behind the hills and the moon began

to rise slowly. Tonight I was an owlet who was going to fly for

the first time. The wind blew me, but luckily my legs were

wrapped tightly around the branch. I felt nervous and at the

same time I encouraged myself. I felt brave, bold and

confident as the wind was blowing on me. I lifted one of my

legs and I spread my talons.They were shaking and I got

even more nervous because I almost fell off the tree in that

strong and cold wind.

I look a beetle scuttle around the bottom of my tree and a

worm moving in between the blades of grass so I spread my

wings out widely. My heart was heart pounding hard so I

took a deep breath and leapt off the edge of the branch.

As I leapt I flapped my wings and saw I was going higher

and higher. so when I flip The moon shines on prey so the

owls falling down and getting his prey and when he got his

prey he went back up and eat. So his mates said “come and

fly with us!” He turned around his head 270 degrees and he

said “ ok I asked my mum." It was amazing, me and my

mates were flying.

Today for writing we write down a story about the owls 
and first we look for facts about owls and make a story about a 
owl that were us the little owl that wants to fly. And also we have to out more powerful words about the story that I made .
