Writing term 1

WILF   

• I use short (simple) sentences correctly.

• I make some sentences longer by joining them with conjunctions (joining words) like ‘and’, ‘but’ or ‘because’.

• I sometimes use conjunctions (joiners) correctly to start my sentences. eg ‘Before . . .’ , ‘After . . .’ , When . . .’ , Because . . .’ ‘When . . .’.

• I use ‘tense’ (past, present or future) correctly most of the time

Writing Task: Think back to a really special experience you have had.   It might be a birthday, a family dinner or a trip somewhere.  Write a recount about it.

One morning I got out of bed and hopted in the car and then my family got in.Then we drove to mountin valley it took us an hour and a half.When we got there we got out of the car and un packed our stuff.Then we went to the river and had a big swim.Then our cool cosins got here and we came back from the river and went to bed.The next day it was Christmas and I got a pocket knife and a wallet.I thanked my mum and dad so much for my presents.We started to play with our awesome toys.We went to the river again and jumped off a big slipery rock in the middle of the river.Then we went back and set up our tent.

helped set it up.Then all our family ternd up we hoped on our bikes and rode around the grass.We went into our nana and Popas camper van and went up stairs.My brother pushed me out of the camper van and I hurt my arm. I went down to the river with my dad and he picked up a dead slimy eel.We went back to the tent and went to bed The next day we played tag with my family and then went home."That was fun I said"
