Writing with the fantastics! Part 2! Writing in week 2!

Hello everyone and welcome back to my blog. This week for writing we were writing with the fantastics again. We had to write different parts from Hansel and Gretel. The parts we wrote this week were: The witch and growing fatter and tricking the witch. Here is what I did: 

Adjectives

Looks Like	Moves Like	Sounds Like
Wrinkly	Slow	Old
Dried out	Stumbly	Growly
Dusty	Limp	Ladylike
Ancient	Waddles	Caring
Frail	Tumbles	Harsh
Plump	Tippy Toes	Helpful

Adverbial phrases	1-The old lady wobbled towards us.  2-She stumbled towards us.  3-She slowly walked down the brick path.
Dialogue	1- 2- 3-
Complex Sentences	1- 2- 3-

Sentences: 

An old lady wobbled out of the house whilst carrying a basket of egg shaped chocolates. She carried a walking stick in one hand and the chocolate in the other. She slowly walked across the hard brick stone pathway and into the woods. 

“Let’s go in the house eh Gretal,” said Hansel. The two walked up the pathway, onto the front doorstep. 

“Hello there young children,” the old lady said from behind us. 

“Hello, how are you?” Gretal turned around to reply. 

She opened the door and stepped inside. Hansel and Gretal followed her in, looking at the entire house. 

“Is this made out of candy?” Hansel asked. 

“Yes it very well is. Do you want to try some?” 

“Yes please,” Gretal replied. Hansel and Gretal walked outside a started to eat the candy on the top of the house. 

Growing Fatter and Tricking the Witch

Ginormous gingerbread	Cheesy chips	Crunchy candy
Creamy custard	Aromatic apples	Melting marshmallows

Alliteration	1- 2- 3-
Repetition	1-Every second, every minute, every hour she fed him;  2- 3-
Comparatives and Superlatives	1-Biggest 2-Fattest 3-Fastest

Every second of every minute of every hour of every day she fed him and fed him and fed him. Hansel became fatter and fatter, bigger and bigger, wider and wider. Hansel had become the fattest, biggest and widest he could ever be. Gretel just waited and waited for an opportunity to free Hansel. She watched as he ate melting marshmallows and buttery biscuits and crunchy candy over and over again. Hansel enjoyed eating the creamy custard and ginormous gingerbread. Gretel watched him become the fattest he had ever been and her the skinniest she had ever been. Hansels cunning plan that he just thought of had came to life. Fooling the witch with the skinny bone and not his fat finger was deceiving enough to fool the witch good.

Writing with the fantastics! Writing in week 1!

Hello and welcome back to my blog. This week for writing we had to write sentences about Hansel and Gretel. We had to include different things in each bit like: Repetition, similes and metaphors. I wrote a bit more than 9 sentences. 

The cold and death-defying trees rustled in the terrifying wind. The branches were as still as a statue but started to sway when the wind picked up. An eerie noise made a menacing sound like an bull about to charge. The cold wind ran up my spine giving me the chills. A haunting fog stood in front of me as I stepped into the moist and muddy ground of the woods.

There was a smell in the forest. It smelt sweet and minty as it drifted through the woods. The smell forced my mouth to water and pulled me into the woods searching for the source.

As we found the source we stopped to a halt as we saw someone inside. We crouched down waiting anxiously. Waiting silently. Waiting impatiently. The smell was to good to handle.

Sentences for the Fantastics! Reading in Week 1!

Hello and welcome back to my blog. This week for reading we were focusing on the fantastics. They are a group of senses that you can use in writing and read in reading. We had to copy and paste 9 different sentences that have the different fantastics in them. Here is what I made: 

Pearl in the Ice

Fantastics	Sentences:
Feeling	Marina felt the tug of a sad, lonely sort of sickness.
Asking	Hand out, feel for the broken stump, swing to a sitting position and then slowly stand up to edge along the branch towards the trunk.
Noticing	She looked up at the blue sky through the lace of green leaves;
Touching	Hand out, feel for the broken stump, swing to a sitting position and then slowly stand up to edge along the branch towards the trunk.
Action	Marina pushed her leg over the branch and then levered her body upwards, hidden once more amongst the leaves.
Smelling	I pass through a kitchen where the smell of food – meaty, garlicky – makes my mouth water, though I mustn’t let it distract me.  (This is from a different book. I couldn’t find anything for smelling in this book. The book is called, Sky Chasers.)
Tasting	She rolled it up and put it in her mouth as if it were a cigar.
Imagining	What would it be like, she thought, to be the pilot of that cloudship, sedately patrolling the skies over the rooftops of London?
