Eating compition

Write to recount that time. 

We are going to do an experiment. The teachers did not tell us what we were going to do.

Were going to have a eating competition today. My literacy class is heading outside to start. When we all got outside I was scared because I might look like a scary clown or an ugly one. Our teacher set up the plats and put the food on. When it was the first round I was so nervous that she might pick me but she didn't.

This is what you do. So you have to have a partner  so your partner is your hands and I have to put my hands at the back of me. So that my hands is my partners hands. Your partner controls you and feeds you. It is just like a robot controlling you.

On the second round it was my turn with my partner. When is was our turn I was shaking because I think maybe I will look like a clown and I was scared. We had to eat a quarter of a weet-bix with whip cream on top the cream was normal and once we finished eating it we had to eat an apple. When we started she put the weet-bix in my mouth with whip cream. It was yum to me but the others didn't. like it that much. She gave me the apple next to eat . I was rushing to win but I didn't.

On the last round of eating it was my turn to feed my partner. First I gave her the weet-bix with whip cream on then I gave her the apple to eat. When I was feeding it to her I shaved it in her mouth and then that's when she used her hands to eat. She did not like it because when her mouth was full I was still shaving the apple in her mouth to win. I think we won because she ate the most of the apple and because our teacher didn't chose who won that round.

My favorite part was eating it. I like that bit because I liked the weet-bix and the whip cream. The thing that I don't like is the apple.

The blindfold ball game

WILF: Use interesting words and word groups to write simple and complex sentences

Today our literacy class played a game called the blindfold game. Before the game we had to get into a large circle. Then we were able to start the game.

First we had to put 2 blindfolds on to make sure that you could not see. Then the people with the blindfold on has to pick a colour out of green, yellow, pink, red and blue. Once they had picked their colours they had to try and get all of the plastic balls but it has to be the colour you choose.

Machelle’s colour was yellow and Aysha’s colour was red and Revival colour was  pink and Wesley’s colour was green and Andrew’s colour was blue. Then our teacher started a timer and the time was 2 minutes. Once the timer started everybody was getting so crazy that they did not know what they were even saying.

People kept on saying yes no yes no. As the people were looking for there colour plastic ball, they kept on getting other people's ball. Sometimes when they get the wrong ball they chucked it into somebody else's basket. Once other people played the same thing kept on happening .

This game is really fun. You should play it . While you watch you can't stop sayinging yes no yes no. When you are blindfolded it is hard to try and get your own ball.
