I'm also working on the writing thing my teacher is teaching me. We are doing recount writing because there is a writing sample on it in term 3.

We are working on scene setting and using the 5 senses to add details. She took us out to a grass field and made us take off our shoes. Then we went back to class and talked about our experience using the senses.

For touch I wrote:
The grass was cold but the mud underneath was coming up through it. It was sticky like glue but didn't stay on my feet.

For sound I wrote:
It was morning tea so there was the soccer game going on behind us. You could hear the thump of the ball being kicked and the stomping of lots of feet. And in the distance I could hear someone hammering.

I am writing a story about 3 guys who rob a bank. But they're not bad guys they are good guys and the bank is run by bad guys. The main guy is called Turtle but that's his nickname because he's steady and cool. The other two guys are Guts(because he's brave) and Mike.

So they are going to rob a bank to get the money from the baddies to save a hospital because Mike's mum is in the hospital and they are going to shut the hospital. They have a red van with the windows painted out and they all have guns.

There is going to be a huge gun fight in the bank and the boss of the bank is going to have a huge gun like a grenade launcher.
