Recount Writing - Swimming at Flaxmere

Splash Splash in the pool.In term 2 week 1 we went on the bus to Flaxmere Waterworld. We went to learn how to swim. Heretaunga  Raorao Harumako all went swimming.I smelt chlorine. I  touched cold water. I could see my coach. I felt excited. The water was as warm as milo“Jaqob stop running” said Mrs Roach. My coach said ”go grab a board”
In 2 weeks we are coming back to swim and I need to work on my freestyle. I need to put my arms out straight.
I felt excited because it was fun. Next time I go I need to get better at freestyle,my kicking.

Retelling

It was dark.He called his brothers.We have to catch the sun because it is going too fast said Māui. His brothers walked in the dark.As soon as Māuis brothers came Māui talked to the brothers Māui said the sun is going too fast. We have to catch the sun. Māuis brothers laughed. Māuis brothers said “how  will we?” said one of the brothers. Māui said “we will use flax to catch the sun”. Māui’s brothers walked in the dark. They hid behind a big tall rock while they were waiting .Māui said “we  should make the rope”. The brothers said “yes!” As soon as the sun came up Maui shouted  “throw the rope”.  The sun  hissed and said “stop”. The days went slower.

Once upon a time I walked down a lane then there were rocks dug into the ground. I  followed the rocks then it lead to a fancy  place where  the dug rocks ended. I looked up.  I looked at myself . I couldn't believe my eyes I saw people building  homes  for people.   I had a walk around the village, heaps of people said, “hi.”  I  was thinking it was a friendly place.  As soon as I had a quick walk around the village  it started to get  dark. I ran as quick as a cheetah to get back home.

Swing Bridge

Once upon a time there was a troll under the bridge and when I walked to  the bridge a gigantic troll came up and roared at me . I got terrified as I sprinted over the terrified bridge as I got to the other side. As I got to the other side I was sweating.
