Tango tangelo

21/2/17
 Tango Tangelo The bright orange skin of the tangelo enhances your sight as soon as you get a glimpse of it. The tangy tangelo has crispy skin that flakes off when you peel it. 
CRACK!
 Under the skin a thin layer of white stringy stuff. I teared off a squishy segment and ripped it in half. The flesh was made of tiny orange transparent segments. The flesh was as shiney as an orange crystal I bit into the tutti frutti tangelo. My tongue did a little tango with my teeth as the taste melted into my throat. My tiny taste buds tingled with pleasure. It was as scrumptious as scrumptious can be. The juice squirted onto my hand and dribbled down my arm. DELICIOS! ! !

 In class we were learning how to write a descriptive piece of writing. We had to examine and taste a tasty tangelo our teacher bought in, then we had to write about it. I think I did well at putting in descriptive words. I also think I need to work on adding in similes and onomatapoeia. I love writing descriptive stories.

I Remember

I was learning how to notice the structure of a piece of descriptive writing.

The first line was what you were doing.

The second line you had to describe something that was happening.

On the third line you had to describe something you did.

The fourth line was why you did it and we had to figure out what the rest of the structure. I think I did well in putting in descriptive words. I think I need to improve in adding similes.

I Remember . . .

Tying up my blonde hair and pulling on my flowery costume.

Bright, coloured fairy lights ringed the party area.

Kina, the adorable puppy scampered up to me and licked me with his sandpaper tongue.

Loud music started drumming in my ears.

As I walk, people come into view with amazing costumes on.

A burst of colour catches my eye, it was the food!

Sticky puddings, bright fruit salads and healthy sandwiches.

I hear children laughing, I follow the giggling with Kina trotting by my side.

That was my Summer.

There was High Jump, Long Jump, Discus, Shot Put, Hurdles, One Hundred Metre run and Four Hundred Metre Run. BOI College helped out and they were wonderful! My favorite was One Hundred Metre run.

Purrrfect Pet Day!

Last Friday we had Pet Day. We also were making creations that included vasaline saucers and flower arranging. At Pet Day there were small animals and big animals. There were goats to axolotls. An axolotl is a pink lizard type creature that lives in the water. There were puppies and ducklings and . . . . . a frog!
