Story Introductions 3/4 C have been looking at interesting ways to start

narratives. Here is a showcase of our introductions using some of the following images.

Australia Bob asked Marly, “Do you know the way to Australia?” Marly said, “No, I do not know the way to Australia.” Bob asked Michael, “Do you know the way to Australia?” Mi-chael said, “Yes I do know the way.” Bob said, “Could you put it on my map?” By Logan

Paris Paris lives next to a big blue river with a snowy hill behind it. Every night when Paris goes to sleep she can hear the wind and the water flowing in the river.

By Mackenzie

Rainy Day Rebecca was in a wet and dark clouds filled the sky. It started to sprinkle then it turned heavy and windy. Rebecca was soaked but after a while it cleared up. It smelled like fresh rain just like it came from the clouds. Rebecca slowly walked home. By Rachel

Snowy Mountains Bob went on an adventure to the Snowy Mountains. When he arrived all he could smell were the pigs in a paddock nearby. Bob could see snow all around him. He set up his campsite in the snow. Fred’s campsite was very cold and dark. He had his blow up mattress and tent to sleep in. By Patrick

Toys The boy is saying to his mum, “When we go shopping later can I please get a toy mum please? Can we maybe, if not can we have a milkshake maybe?” “Alright then let’s go, are you ready” By Ellie

Vegetables The girl said, “I want broccoli.” The boy said, “We want carrots.” By Phoenix

Skydiving When Bob jumped out of the plane and went sky diving he was sleepy and thought he was dead because he saw a bright light. Then he used the parachute. After that Bob fell asleep and landed. When he landed he woke up from the water. Bob was underwater for 5 minutes and people thought he was dead. A new world record to escape from a parachute underwater. By Maddex

The Skydiver The skydiver had a navy blue jacket with navy blue pants and black boots. While the helicopter was making a lot of noise he grabbed his orange helmet and then he jumped out of the heli-copter and in that moment he felt really sick. By Travis

Bath Time “Time to go in the bath Kid” said Grandma. “But why?” cried Kingston “Because it’s your bath time,” yelled Grandma. “But I want to play outside” screamed Kingston. “Now!” yelled Grandma. “No!” yelled Kingston. By Dylan

Wet and Cold “Ah where am I?” yelled Bruce the lost boy. He was lost in the middle of nowhere on a stormy, wet and cloudy day. Bruce saw a tin shed in the long, wet, green grass. Bruce saw raindrops banging onto the shed and he could smell yucky tap rain water. By Rhemi

The Real-estate Boss Sarah walked into the real-estate office. “I’m here” she called out although nobody answered. “I must be very early” she said to herself. “Sarah you have a meeting with Darren about a delay”. “Tell him I will be there in just a second” replied Sarah. “Hello Darren, yes we sold that house and we made so much money from it!” “Excellent” said Darren. He then walked out of the real-estate with his umbrella and coat. By Ziggy

Jenny’s new job There was a girl named Jenny. She just moved to Poplar Drive and she was ready to start her new work. She wore black high heels and she wore her hair down. She carried lots of paperwork and a black leather brief case with a silver latch. She was nervous for what her new boss would think of her. When she walked into her new work everyone greeted her with a smile. She then took a deep breath. By Tylah

Forest Once there was a boy all alone. He could hear a thunderstorm closing in. He could see dark clouds and wrecked trees. He ran and did not stop running. He was so tired. The storm seemed like a terrible monster and that’s why he did not stop running. By Luca.

Fishing Once lived a boy named Jim. Every weekend he had to go fishing. Then one weekend he went to a different pond. He fished and saw a rainbow and some ducklings. He smelt the fresh air and saw a message in a bottle. It said… By Mikayla

Haley’s First Day It is Haley’s first day of work. She walks out of the door in her light grey dress with long sleeves. She has long dark brown hair. She had a black brief case. She was wearing real-ly dark black high heels. She was feeling nervous and had butterflies in her stomach. By Charli

Alex The skydiver is feeling sick, scared and nauseous. When he is falling, he feels like he is going to puke. He was wearing a dark navy blue jacket with fur on the inside. Alex jumped five feet off the plane when he got to the half waypoint he started feeling sick and nauseous. He thought he was going to puke. By Sam

The Three Snowy Mountains I heard guns as we came running past trees. We got to the riverbed. Steve, Jake and I saw a paddleboat and a yacht. We took the yacht and the hunters took the paddleboat. We got past the riverbed and then we rushed towards the snowy mountain. By Jason

The Trolls Once upon a time there were three little trolls and there names were Bob, Jessica and Sam. They lived in the snowy mountains where it was really cold because it was Antarcti-ca. The mountains had lots of snow and it was really white.

By Abe

Thunderstorm One thunderstorm day there lived a man. He was homeless and lived in a patch of grass. He smelt something weird. It was a thunderstorm. By Blair

Rainbow Mountain Once upon a time Miss Julien went to Rainbow Mountain. She could see a pond, rainbows, flowers and the sun shining. She could hear the birds tweeting in the sky. She could smell beautiful flowers. By Charlotte.

The Whingy Baby “Mum I want a toy!” said the whingy boy. “No, not today” said Mum. “I will get you one on Friday.” Said Mum.

“Waaaaaaaaaaa” cried the sooky boy. “I am taking you home to bed right now, get in the car NOW” yelled Mum.
