Welcome back to term 2 2013

WORD OF THE WEEK

This term we will have a word of the week each week.

This week the word of the week is frantically. This word was used in the book Toad Away, written by Paul Jennings. This is the sentence that used the word in the book, “He squeezed out from under Goliath and signalled frantically to Charm to come and help”.

The word frantically means to act in a manner that is hurried, stressed, chaotic, terrified or excited.

Your first  task for the week is to try and write the most descriptive sentence or paragraph that uses the word frantically. You will need to post that sentence as a comment under this post. Make sure you revise and proofread your sentence/paragraph before posting the comment. If you do not have access to the internet at home you can write your sentence/paragraph on a piece of paper and then write it as a comment on the blog at school.

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.
