Narratives

We are still working on planning and writing narratives. Last week we watched a short video called "Ride of Passage," and then planned and wrote the story. The focus was on making sure the story was SAD. That means that it had to have Speech, Action and Description! This is what every great story needs! Here are some of the wonderful narratives that the children wrote.

“Toki and his best friend” By Oliver

Toki was a small weak little boy. He lived in a small town. All the kids at school bullied him so he went out into the rainforest to look for an big animal head but all he found was a frog with warts and two big eyes. He said to himself, ‘‘I need to get a bigger head’’. suddenly a money swung down to Toki and snatched his frog hat of him.Toki was so angry he got his staff out and was about to kill the monkey when a big chameleon came out of nowhere and ate the monkey. For a minute Toki was frightened and scared. The chameleon had a tail that could stretch from Toki’s town to India. His body was covered in scales. The chameleon wrapped Toki in his tail and took of like a plan.The chameleon tail grabbed lots of animals heads. They got bears, birds and lions. Suddenly they fell into a trap. Toki thought, ‘’What is happening?’’ Then he heard footsteps coming. He thought for a minute. “I could cut his head off and be king or I can let him free?” So Toki put all the heads down and cut his friend out of the trap and went to hide in a prickle bush. When Toki saw the men with the heads Toki felt disappointed. He walked out of the bush. “I wonder what way do I go now?” he said to himself. Then two big eyes were staring out him. Toki was so excited he jumped on his friend’s back so quickly. Toki ran through the forest with his new best friend.
