                                                         THE ZIP
I heard a rumble then suddenly the zip in front of me opened. I leaned over the edge. I saw blackness. I was spooked. I felt cold hands touch my back. When I turned I saw a Goblin and he pushed me. I  wondered what would happen to me. I was falling and  falling and I thought this black hole of darkness would never end. Then finally I hit the bottom of the hole. The Goblin followed me down the hole so I rushed inside the beautiful sparkly Purple Castle in front of me. The first room I looked in had a bed for a queen. Then I looked in the backyard and I saw one Vomiter and two dangerous and terrifying Jugglers. I thought I had started a new life but I was actually in Heaven.

                                     The Kitten Rescue 

I stepped outside of the firetruck and gazed at the burnt house. I grabbed the hose and put on my protective  gear and started walking. It was pitch black the only light came from my flashlight. I bravely entered a bedroom and looked around. My eyes spotted a little grey kitten on the ground not moving. I slowly approached the little guy and cautiously picked him up and carried him out of the house. One of my mates passed a bottle of cold water. Suddenly I saw it's paw move. I poured the freezing cold water on him and His head moved. He  jump around me and People started to clap and cheer. I felt happy that I saved a life.

Art and Motion

We are learning how artists show motion in their artworks.  Using repetition and showing movement are two ways.  For these art works we used photos of us in an action pose and then we repeated the action.
