Mystery letter

99 Banana Road

Dear mum and dad,

I hear birds chirping and lots of people talking. Lava rocks are falling. Salty air is dancing around me.  
Mud brown dirt are sloshing in my fingers. There are trees everywhere.  I smell coal and dirt.
Soft leaves in my hand are emerald green.  The sun is as bright as gold and surrounding it is aquamarine
blue sky. I can still taste my cheese and pickle sandwich.

Where am I?

Reflections:

We have been learning to use our senses.  I enjoyed writing all the senses down in my book. I found thinking up the senses tricky because mostly we didn't do these things.  Next I will try to write faster.

Summarising

Reflection:

We have learning to summarise using the main ideas in a text.  I enjoyed making the story short.  I found looking for main ideas tricky.  Next I will try to read the story more carefully so I can find more ideas.
