Writing Recounts...

We have been learning how to write a recount (that is writing about something we have done).  Last week we went and hung out in the playground but stopped every few minutes to chat about what we were doing (hoping to use some interesting words and lock them into our brains).  We spent one day writing about what we actually did, and the next day we used had a go at writing an imaginary recount.  Read the stories below and see if you can work out which ones were real recounts and which ones were imaginary!  

Today before we did writing, we all went to the playground.  I went on the slide.  Liam kept on sliding when I was sliding. It squished me. By Keily

I was on the monkey bars.  I went on with two hands.  I swung…maybe I swung too high, I was scared!  I closed my eyes and jumped.  It was so fun!  By Lara

I am on the playground playing on the slide.  It is fun.  The slide made me fly!  By Liam

I am flying in the air and then I was flying in the water.  I got a crayfish and clam out of the water.  I did a back flip and I flew up and landed on the ground. By Jackson

I went on the monkey bars and I almost got to the end.  I dropped on to the ground.  By Gen

I went on the flying fox.  I had fun.  It went fast.  We had turns.  It was me and Daten.  But I had a wiggly tooth and when I banged on the slide, my tooth nearly came out!  By Corbin

I am a super hero.  I will save the monkey from falling into a volcano.  I will fly with my powers. My name is...SUPERGIRL! By Brooke
