Noses - By Aileen Fisher

I looked in the mirror and looked at my nose;
it's the funniest thing,
the way it grows.
Stuck right out where all of it shows
with two little holes where the breathing goes.

I looked in the mirror and saw in there
the end of my chin and the start of my hair,
and between there isn't much space to spare
with my nose, like a handle, sticking there.

If you ever want to giggle and shout
and you can't think what to do it about,
just look in the mirror and then, no doubt
you'll see how funny your nose sticks out.

The trampoline - By Josh

On Saturday I went on the trampoline. I went as high as a red shiney rocket. I felt like I was in a storm becasue I could feel the wind rushing through my face like a car. It was cold and warm at the same time because it was cold but I was jumping around. Boang, bounce, high as I jumped around like a kangaroo. Next I did a flip. I was as fast as a cheetah. Next minute boing, I landed it. I did more then I felt dizzy like I could fall off the tramp. Then I lay down. I could feel a gentle breeze across my back so I climbed down the old rusty ladder and jumped down. Then I went inside. It was awesome.


Sandwich Response from Miss Irvine:
Josh, I love some of the language features you've used to describe what you felt when you were on the trampoline. I especially like "I felt like I was in a storm."
You have a good beginning and a personal comment at the end, but I think it would be helpful if you worked on using paragraphs in your writing to separate different thoughts.
I also really like you're use of 'because' and 'so' to make your sentences different lengths. It makes it less boring for the reader.

Skiing - By Callum

On Monday some year 5 and 6s went skiing. The bus ride was really long.

When we got off the bus I went to the platter. When I finally got to the top I started to go down. Weeee! I shouted. Clack! as I went down the slope.

Then is was lunch time. I had a good lunch.

After that we went skiing. There was another two and a half hours. Then it was time to go back home.


Sandwich Response from Miss Irvine:
Callum, you're writing has improved so much from the start of this year. You are now writing in paragraphs and adding more detail to your work.
I like that you've attempted to use speech to help you retell what happened, but you need to work on using the correct punctuation for speech marks.
You have used time words well to retell your events in order and you have a good informative introduction.
