Balloons


The first time I wrote this story it was very boring but then I went back and added heaps of detail and vocab that made my reading much more interesting to make it a great piece of writing.

Something that has challenged me is when I had to change my whole piece of writing to make it more interesting to make the reader hooked into my writing.



Bang! Bang! We all started hitting the Balloons that were filling up the room you couldn’t move around the room there were so much.
“Ready I’ll stand on the still and throw some of the balloons up in the air,”
“3,2,1”.....
Bang! Bang! POP!!!!!! We all hit the same balloon at the same
time and we popped it, we also popped some when we landed on the ground suddenly the  room was silent...
We all looked at the the balloon and saw it was shredded into 5 little pieces
suddenly everybody started to laugh and laugh.
“Guys,” I whispered
“Who wants to do it again!!!”
“Me!!!!!!!!!!”
“Kids dinner time”.
“Ohhhhh”.


At midnight we all quietly tiptoed into the lounge to play with the
balloons, we finally made it to the lounge but…
Mum had popped all the balloons. “Mum!!!”

I have been trying to make my letter the best I can for my athlete.
I am showing him the respect he needs to win the Olympics.

The learning muscle I used to get out of the pit was my perseverance muscle because I kept on trying to do my personal best.
This week in my letter I used my noticing learning muscle and found little bits of information to add.
I have been learning to push myself to my personal best.
Something that challenged me was to do my personal best to push someone to do something amazing.
I am proud of my work because I kept on try to do my personal best for my Athlete.
