the plane crash

                            The plane crash

One day a little girl called Sophia and her parents were out walking in the scorching desert There were bits of bright grass sticking up and poking Sophia in the leg. Sophia was wearing Her favourite outfit it was a yellow dress with pink and white flowers and her shoes were a colourful pair of sneakers. The desert ground was orange and sandy. It was a peaceful walk until Sophia and her parents heard a whirring sound it sort of sounded like propellers from a helicopter. They turned around slowly to find what was a massive white air plane and it was coming straight for them. Sophia’s dad realised that the plane wasn’t coming down and then going up again like in a show he realised it was crash landing” RUN “ dad shrieked. They ran as fast as their feet could carry them. The plane was so close to the ground now and it was starting to heat up and smoke starts to come out from every single corner of the plane. CRASH the plane burned up in flames and everyone started screaming and exiting the plane. Sophia went to find her dad finally she found him. after that Sophia's dad called the fire station to come and put out the fire. a couple of minutes later the fire engine and the fire men and women were here and cleared the fire. Then they drove home gently.

Green poem

                                       Green
 Green looks like lush grass and puffy bushes with  bright shiny leaves
 Green  sounds like green paint being splattered onto thick paper
 Green tastes like delicious mint leaves dropping quickly into my mouth
 Green feels like gooey slime sticking to my fingers
 Green smells like a fresh, juicy apple wafting in front of my nose slowly.
Green feels like wet, damp grass going through my toes
Green sounds like rustling leaves as the wind pushes them gently
Green reminds me of juicy grapes entering my mouths
Green is a vibrant colour. It makes nature and life colourful.

Teacher Comment

Well done Georgia, your speech was really well written.  Excellent research and use of quotes. You showed confidence and spoke clearly.  Your next steps are to speak a little louder and with a bit more expression. Try to also learn your speech more so that you don’t need to look down at your cue cards as often.
