Kelly Tarltons

This week we have been working in groups to help each other write recounts. We had to include hooks, similes and metaphors. We got lots of Gold for glory.

Kelly Tarlton’s

“Hurry up! Get in line!” screeched the teacher as we all piled into the bus. The bus started with a big bang then  we headed off. I glanced out the window to see the beautiful sights. Our chattering made the bus sound  as loud as a cage of giant elephants. Suddenly silence fell over the bus,we were there.

Have you ever slept with the sharks before? That’s what we were planning to do at Kelly Tarlton’s. We stumbled in like a bunch of big fat rhinos. There stood a man with snowy white hair wearing fine-looking clothes with the politest smile. We went silent as he stood in front of us. He was so still he was a statue. “Hello class. My name is Jacob,” he announced with a bold voice. “Come this way,” he said with a sway bellow voice. We walked in silence following him.

Thump! Thump! Our feet banged on the ground like a jumble of giant clashing boulders. The roof above us was a clear tank full of vicious sharks, deep-blue stingrays and cute jellyfish. A light blue shadow flicked by me. “What was that!”I said in shock but no one took any notice of me. I was the invisible man. We carried on down the huge hall.

                                      

After we got into our sleeping bags we tried to fall asleep but the passing sharks kept throwing ghostly shadows that haunted the night. I couldn’t sleep. All I could think about was the shark tank breaking and sharks munching on us. Finally, after a very long long night it was time to go home so we packed up and headed to the bus. “GoodBye! Thank You! “ we yelled and hopped into the bus.
