Basketball

A few weeks ago my class and I were training for basketball with two men named Yaran and Malik. They were coaches for basketball and they were also brothers. They taught us many skills and techniques such as The dinosaur stands, diamond catch, chest pass, overhead throw, left and right pocket throw, keep your head up at all times and fake passing. Every wednesday we play with these two gentlemen. I really enjoy playing with these coaches, I have learnt a lot. My basketball skills have really improved.

The beach

Walt: write a paragraph using figurative language.

The beach

I walked all day long on the beach spent hours pulling heels to the front of my toes with each mile travelled. So still I stepped dragging myself. My toes blistered and numb. My feet are the strength of 100 men.

Personification poem

The Beach

Once I arrive at the best beach with the

scorching hot sun reflecting off my glasses,

once I stomped on the the sand it was like it had been

hot nesquick sand which made my feet sink.

Walt: write a paragraph on personification

Ahhhhh that simulating draught entering from the gap of the window. It couldn't be more better than this, but then something better had been Offered. It was a whole afternoon at the most splendid beach in the world as what I would think. The surface of the beach was so flocculent. The water swallowed the sand and even kissed the shore line. The waves curled like my brothers hair.
