Narratives

One bright sunny day a little boy called Jack went wondering in the forest when he bumped into a giant beanstalk. He decided to climb the beanstalk in curiosity. To his surprise there was an enormous gigantic giant waiting for him. The giant wanted to eat the tiny boy so Jack sprinted into the giants house. He saw a huge open window so he leaped out. The giant didn't know were the mischievous Jack went. So after the giant had fallen asleep Jack crept back into the giants house. Jack was wondering what the dumb giant would do next. All the giant did was fall back asleep and dribble. Jack was cracking up laughing he didn't realise that he had just awoke the giant! The giant saw Jack and tried to leap on him but Jack was far to fast for the giant. Jack leaped down the beanstalk to safety. The giant was only sleep walking!! The giant fell to the ground snoring and sucking his thumb."Baby!" Jack said as he chopped the beanstalk down and the giant died.

Narrative Writing

This term we are learning to write a narrative story.

Below are some narratives some students in Hoiho have written.

Puss In Boots

In Mexico a ginger cat drifted through the wind in a crate.  The cat had no Mum or Dad. He drifted into a town that had houses and crashed in to a door, there was a sign on it that said "Orphanage".  A woman standing at the door picked the cat up and looked at him and named him Puss.

Soon he became a hero and he got boots.  Then his name was called not Puss but it was Puss in Boots.  Puss in Boots wanted to do more for the town.  Puss zoomed to a house that had Jack in it.  Who had the Magic Beans! Puss in Boots dashed to a paddock that had dry grass.  Puss digged 6cm into the ground.  The beans grew and Puss shot up into the sky.  Puss stoped the beans from growing.  He jumped on a cloud which took him to the Golden Goose.

Puss fled to the bean stalk and got a leaf and quickly made a parashoot.  He jumped.  Soon he reached the town and he shouted "Gold"

The town and him were happy forever.  Puss became a legend that will be past on and on

The Three Little Pigs

Once upon a time there were 3 little pigs.  Each of them was allowed to build their own house.  One of the pigs built their house out of hay.  The other little pig made his house out of twigs.  The last little pig made his house out of brick.  One day the first little pig heard a voice at his door.  "Hello little pig let me come in or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down. "

"No!" yelled the pig.

"Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down"

The pigs house got blown down but he ran to his brothers house.  The Wolf said "I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down"

But they ran to their brother's house.  The Wolf tried to blow the house down but he couldn't.  So he climbed up onto the roof and went down the chimney and fell in a pot of boiling water.
