The Witch's Spell

  Once upon a time a family lived in a normal life but poor. But not for long, a witch was living by.

 The family was poor and lived near a swamp so they went to find help since they were poor. They accidentally asked the witch and they didn’t know.

  They thought the witch was nice but then something happened the witch put a curse on them the curse was to have bad luck all your life and she disappeared in the dark with an evil laugh “MWAHAHAHAHAHA”laughed the witch”. She also said “you’ll never catch me”.

So they continued their their life and the witch put them in a castle and when they woke up they were surprised and they didn’t remember anything about the witch's spell and they had bad luck they tripped over,put their face in the cake and all kinds of stuff happened.

The family had lots of bad luck but unless someone kills the witch and the curse will be broken.  a few days later a brave knight went to the witch house and killed her but she had potions there was a  heal potion and a poisonous potion but she didn’t see wich one so she picked up the poison potion and threw it on herself and she died with an evil laughter and he broke the spell and the curse was broken and the family now had a normal life but their castle disappeared and they went to find another home.

My recount writing

Title -Waterworld

Hook in sentence -” Welcome to Waterworld this is an amazing place that you can come to at any time” said the swimming instructor.

Beginning-  Introduction- The 5 W’s - When, What, Why,Where, Who

Last week our class was very excited and you might ask why because we are going to the amazing Flaxmere Water-world. We went in Term 2 Week 1  because we go there to learn swimming these days.So they finally reached Water-world but they came in a bus, they swam there and they had heaps of fun at Waterworld.They came with Heretāunga rāo rāo hāumako.

Middle -  First Paragraph - Uses your senses - smell, touch, feel,hear,see to explain what happened at the pool

Use alliteration, similes, onomatopoeia

They smelt the water that was fresh as rain and the students felt the warm, warm water.  The children heard the bubbles bubbling in the water and they saw blueeee clear fresh water.

Middle -   Second paragraph - Use some dialogue - speech marks to write about what some people said.

“So let's get started” said the swim instructor that was teaching us. So we started off with freestyle and we had to do a full length of the pool.   The pool has numbers and they are 1 is the deep one 2 is a little bit shallow and third is kinda shallow and 5 is just shallow and 6 is very shallow and there is a little pool but is doesn’t have a number.     Then we did some dolphin dives for a few times and we did something with the swimming board but I can’t remember what it was called.   The leader said”You didn’t listen at all so we are doing it again!”Then we did what they asked and this time she said”You guys did heaps better than the other time”.

Middle -   Third paragraph - Write about your favorite part and why it was your favourite.

My favourite part was the dolphin dives because you get to do it for a long long time. I just love, love love doing them and I do them because we get to go right to the bottom and come back up just like you are a real dolphin and people can see you.

End -   Conclusion - Finish your story up - with a comment about how you feel about swimming or what you will be working on next time you go.

I feel so warm and comfortable. I need to work on freestyle and backstroke. It  was the best day ever.
