Creative Spring Writing

Today in class we have been doing creative writing. We had to write a sentence about this picture. As a class we chose the sentence we liked to best and then added to it. Here is my sentence and the sentence I added to.

The oak trees finger stretch trying to touch  the sky.

Under the oak tree, kicked back by the beach from a view, chill going down your spine, the bright sun light on you. The light from the sea shines in my eyes. Fish and chips for dinner. Yum!

Explaining My Event

We have been learning to write an explanation. I have written one about an event that I made up. Here it is.


Basketball hoop is an made up game. It was made up by Damien Puri  in Auckland in 2014. How you win is by stepping with the ball and dribbling the ball and shooting it in the goal.

You will need a basketball hoop and a basketball to play. They are going to play at the Point England School hall. The hall is a basketball sized court made from wood.

The team is made up of 10 players. There are 3 defence, 3 attack and 4 mids who defend and attack. The rules are no fouling that means you cannot slap the ball out of someone elses’ hands. If the ball goes out of the court then it is the other teams ball. The ref does an throw up to start the game and an player from each team smacks the ball towards their own team.
