the man who Skydived for the first time
Paragraph 1
On a hot sunny day in California in America there lived an old man he was named old man jenkins because he was famous for eating gherkins but they called him Jenkins. He had a lot of grey hair, Light blue eyes, Chubby hands and little fingers and he had a wonderful smile.
He lived in the city with his son Sam. Sam was 16, he had green eyes, Black spiky hair, bony hands and he was in good shape
Old man Jenkins was a businessman. Old man Jenkins had got interviewed by famous people and they told him that they would pay for him to go on a skydiving experience. Old man Jenkins said “I will have my decision by tomorrow.” So he did.
Paragraph 2
On the way when old man Jenkins dashed home he saw his son and his friends.
Sam’s friends were making fun of old man Jenkins cause he was all old and grumpy and always saying that he doesn’t have time for things to do.
He yelled at Sam’s friends and told them to get out!
The son was embarrassed and i mean really embarrassed.
Sam was arguing with his dad and said he was a sissy. Old man Jenkins said “He wasn’t a sissy because he was going on a skydiving experience”
Sam ran out and Sam was really angry, So was old man Jenkins.
Paragraph 3
The next morning Jenkins was getting ready to go for the skydiving experience, Old man Jenkins was really scared but he didn’t care because he was angry at his son Sam.
He thought it would be so bad until he jumped on the helicopter!
He then thought to himself was he smart enough to know what to do or no?
He just got ready to go on the helicopter.
Then the helicopter was ready to leave.
Paragraph 4
Old man Jenkin’s heart was pounding so much and he didn’t know what to do but it was too late.
Once they were up in the high sky the experienced skydivers told him to jump off the helicopter and told him to push out the parachute when you're nearly down on the ground so you can float.
Old man Jenkins then reached the floor and the parachute was off and he screamed “ I did it, I’m a champion!
He loved it how he felt the wind go through him and how he could see the wonderful baby blue sky just standing there.
Paragraph 5
Sam came to pick up his dad from where he got dropped from the helicopter.
Sam found him and then they were on their way home.
Sam still wasn’t talking to his dad in the car he just turned the music loud so he couldn’t hear his father talk.
They arrived home and Sam’s friends were there.
Old man Jenkins just wanted to go to bed. In the back he could hear Sam’s friends telling sam that his dad looks like a big troll.
Paragraph 6
Sam had gotten angry and told them to get out in a very loud voice and they ran out really fast out of the house.
Old man Jenkins came out of his room to see what the fuss was all about and he saw that Sam had told his friends to get out.
Then Sam gave his dad a shake on the hand a hug and said “You are the greatest dad in the world”
The dad said to Sam ‘I know I am’
They lived happily ever after in California

Term 3 Recount
Craft-Draft
I had the worst weekends ever!
It was terrible and boring on the first week of the holidays .so me and my sister Kristelle wanted to watch a movie with all the pocket money we got on Tuesday for our allowance. Our mum asked us if we wanted a ride to Highland Park because it was pretty long to walk!
We decided to watch Ice age 4 Continental Drift and we were going to watch it at Highland-Park because the prices were cheap. I ordered our tickets at 11:30 and our movie would start at 12:00. We had half an hour to do anything we wanted to.
I started to put my alarm on my phone and I sent it to ring in 20 minutes because then we would have ten minutes to walk back and get ready to buy popcorn and lollies.
We thought what to do with half an hour so we went to go to Burger King because our stomachs were rattling like crazy, so we went. When we got there, Kristelle had a Whopper Junior and I had a BBQ Rodeo. We ate our food inside Burger King because it was windy outside.
We stayed at Burger King for 10 minutes because the queue was too long.
Timezone was around the corner and we only had 20 more minutes on the clock until the movie would start so Kristelle asked me if we could have a game of hit the hamster. So we played 1 game and it was 11:50. She won because that's her favourite game.
Then my phone rang and then I said “Hello,” but then it said get ready for movie and then I knew that we had to go and get our junk food.
There was a big queue and we only had 10 minutes to get passed all of those people. 2 minutes past from waiting in that dark red room and we hadn’t even moved in line yet! It was getting pretty boring and we were only there for two minutes.
Six minutes later we were finally at the front and then we ordered our lollies and popcorn. We ran as fast as we could to theatre 11, it was the last one on the left.
We got comfortable and got ready to watch the movie. Suddenly...there was a twitchy noise I could hear on the cinema...
The manager of the Highland Park theatre said that the movie cannot work. He had to scream.
We got our money back because our mum came down to pick us up. She asked how was the movie and I said “We didn’t watch.” Our mum stepped in the movie theatre and said very loudly “GIVE MY DAUGHTERS A REFUND!”
Kristelle and I were angry because we spent a lot of money on food and junk food for our movie. Kristelle said “Well that was annoying and boring.” I agreed with her.
I said “We’ll go to the movies again tomorrow.” I was tired of running around everywhere and also I wasn’t in the mood for watching a movie.

My Reading Goals for Term 3
My Reading Goals for Term 3 are:
- Make use of prior knowledge by using the things I already know, making connections and asking myself “What do I already know about this topic?”
- Explore the author’s purpose and question intent by asking “Why did the author write this book?”
