Narrative Writing Short Story

 We wrote a short story about a kind of journey. I hope you enjoy my story.

On a dark and spooky night when the owls were hooting you could hear two little boys playing a video game inside a big creepy house that had boarded up windows and missing roof tiles. The two boys, Jet and Rider, were having a sleepover and they couldn’t sleep because they had way too many lollies and fizzy drinks. They’d found a new game that they’d never played before down stairs under the couch and together they said, “WOW!” as they were amazed and in complete shock. Quickly but quietly they scurred back up to Rider’s room. They got the game disc out of its case and they put it into the game console. The game had turned on and it was time for them to pick their character. When they chose their character they were screaming in terror, “ Help us we are getting invaded!”  They both closed their eyes for 10 seconds because they were scared, Their eyes opened, they were in the middle of a deserted Island. 

After hours and hours of searching the Island  Rider could barely see land, it was very far north from the Island. They had no choice so they started to swim. “It’ll only take a couple minutes to get there,” cried Jet.

So they were determined to get there. The minutes became hours, the hours became days and the days became weeks. They were lucky enough to have breaks on the way

because they found little Islands even smaller than the Island that they’d started on. Eventually they made it to the land that had red bananas, berries and coconuts. They ended up very full after eating a bit of food that they could find. There was a man that they found at the top of a mountain in a helicopter. His exact words that he said were, “Hello, welcome to the gallery, today your mission is to get the stolen Jem off of Cadbury and return it to the home of the jaguars, although if you ever get in trouble or have finished your mission just call out gallery to safely return home.” That only meant one thing to the boys. They knew that they’d have to complete the mission. 

So off they went walking through the forest trying to find streams sothey could have some drinking water. After about 10 minutes of walking they’d finally found an abandoned jeep and a giant statue that looked like a jaguar. They saw Cadbury running  in the bush. 

Jet yelled out “Get him!”

“Chase them!” replied Rider.

They were running after Cadbury and they slipped in some cow pat.

 But then eventually after running for 1.9 miles later they had caught up to him.  They got the gem and sprinted back to the jaguar statue and climbed up it with some speed.  They had found the gap where it was supposed to be. When they’d put the gem stone where it belongs there was a waterspout happening so as quickly as possible they screeched “GALLERY!” Their vision was poor and before they knew it they were back in their room and then Jets alarm for 7:00am had just gone off. It was time for breakfast so they snapped the game disc in half and threw it in the rubbish bin.

I really found working on it in my own time challanging, it was also a challange to think what to write about. I hope that you enjoyed my short story. Please tell me what you think about my story.

These are my words   LOOK DOWN

   

  Exotic / Commandants / Aluminium / Monounsaturated / Carousel / Queasy / Potential /         
    Scurried / Exhausted / Glumly

  A noun (a thing) , a verb (an action) , an adjective (a describing word). 

Nouns Verbs Adjectives    

Exotic                         Scurried                        Exotic

Commandants                                                Aluminium

Aluminium                                                       Monounsaturated

Potential                                                          Queasy

I open my aluminium sliding door to go out onto my deck. I can hear the
waves from the sea crashing down and making a great big roar. So then I
decided to look up.  I saw my black and white striped cat that had grey
splotches on her torso. Her name is Pixie, she had the potential to catch a
bird, then all of a sudden she pounced out and scurried across the lawn
to chase the bird. The bird got away as Pixie just laid in the middle of the
lawn exhausted.

My Cooking For School

My Letter About Lockdown

How Different Is My Life From Last Month To This
Month

My Life is very very different from this month to last month
because last month was just like any other month but with a
nice family holiday to Australia in it as well. But this month has
changed a lot because I haven't been able to communicate
with anybody just by talking to them in person and not on
technology and now this far in the Lockdown I’m now getting
really annoyed because I haven't seen my friends or cousins
for a long time now.

What Is The Hardest Thing With Staying At Home

For me the hardest thing with staying at home is not being
able to see my friends that I’m used to seeing everyday.

What have I been doing In Lockdown

I’ve enjoyed practising my wheelies on my mountain bike
when it’s fine and also going for bike rides. Although when
it’s been  a wet or really rainy I would probably either Play board
games with Poppy, Dad or Mum or maybe play some
Xbox with my Dad or Sister (Poppy).

My Gratitude Poem

Gratitude Poem By Luken

I am thankful for My Family
I wonder what my family is thankful for
I hear the waves crashing down when I’m slowly drifting to sleep
I see all the stars when I’m camping
I want everyone to know that I love soccer
I am grateful for everything and especially my family
I pretend that I’m a Superstar at soccer
I feel glad to have a Family
I touch the ground when I do a handstand
I am appreciative that my mum does my hair for me in the morning
I understand that it can be hard for my parents since they’re trying to explain things to me and Poppy at the same time
I say “please” and “thank you” to show that I use my manners at the table and everywhere else
I dream about becoming a scooter pro
I try to Do my best at school
I hope that I’ll do well in life
I am glad for Poppy since she got an excellence in a lot of her exams last year

Autobiographical Poem

Luken

Sporty, adventurous, fit, happy

Son of Corrie and Grant

Lives off Soccer, Dirtbikes, Family

Who feels good when with his friends,

Who feels like a lovely cool ice cream on blazing days,
Which you will sense good vibes from on special
occasions. 

Who urgently craves for laughter all day, who
urgently craves for a slushy on blazing days, who
urgently craves for a pet Unicorn.

Who lets out Joy to his family, 

Who lets out a great big scream when it’s either
christmas or his birthday, Who lets out the
truth straight away.

Who has a phobia of the dark, whose legs shake
when opening their curtains before a sparrows fart. 

I come from the chilly town Greymouth
