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.
