My Hot Air Balloon

This week we have used a picture as motivation for our writing. We had a story starter and then we
had to carry on the story. What I like about my writing is that I am using fullstops and capital letters.

I need to improve on making sure it is making senes.
We also made a google draw showing the things that we would take with us in on the balloon

Map, cheese, donut, bucket, pillow, blanket, first aid kit,

toothbrush, green apple, red apple all the things. I feel worried and a

bit excited because I have never been in one before.  Also nervous

that I might fall out and that I might get cloud sick from the clouds.

The clouds looked as soft as a teddy bear. I heard the clouds going

puff, puff. I saw the flames. I saw them popping up like grass coming out.
We were all going around the humongous world down below us.
I took my mum and dad with me. I looked down I could see the tiny little world, it
was so small all the people looked like tiny specks of of dark black ants.
I couldn’t quite see my amazing house. "Good night," I said, but before
I could get to sleep I hear my mum and dad playing rock, paper, scissors.
Once they finished I quickly tucked myself in bed. 15 minutes later I heard fart noises,
I opened up my eyes. Dad you're farting, I started laughing hard out.
I was shocked just to hear my dad say, “we have made it." "Yay,” we all said.
We couldn’t see any hot air ballons …………
”WE HAVE MADE IT WE’VE WON YAY!” we all said.
