This week in Writers Workshop Year 4 wrote their own version of ‘The Hare and the Tortoise’.
They could choose any speedy animal that they wished such as a cheetah, Rhino or an eagle but they had to include the tortoise.
To help us describe the tortoise Miss Martindale bought her per tortoise to school to visit for the day.
How would you describe George? How did he move? What was his shell like?
Did you enjoy meeting him?
Would you like to see George again?
What ‘wow words’ did you use this week? Please share them here so that others can learn these words too.
i would love to see George again
Remember to start a sentence with a capital letter Ayesha .
He was so cute. He is is the second tortoise I have held. Here are some sentences to describe him:
George ploddeded along strecthing his minature, scaly legs. His hard shell was surprising smooth. Tiny claws are not making any diifrence to how lovely it feels to have him crawl all over your hand.
Nice tortoise Miss Martindale.
Geroge was adorable.Thankyou Miss Martindale for bringing him in.I really got an idea of what I would write in writers workshop.
Kimran she is a girl not a boy you put he
Ayesha- I made that mistake too. I t is because when we first got George we thought she was a boy and now I just can’t stop calling her ‘him’. So it is MY FAULT!
Miss Martindale
Is she called Georgina?Because maby you might call herGeroge for short.It’s not really your fault Miss Martindale.
Yes Riya- she is Georgina but George for short.
It is a spectacular slide-show!
I had a great time writing a fable.I hope I’m a goal scorer!
I absolutely love george she is so cute! You are really lucky to have her and thank you for bringing her in.
Opps I keep forgeting.
It’s ok Kimran.I sometimes forget aswell.
George look`s cute.
Don’t worry Miss Martindale some times it happens.
Actually Ayesha- that is an important message. Everybody makes mistakes! (Remember I say I am nearly perfect but not quite! That is a joke)
Nobodys perfect.Even Scientist make mistakes!
I liked seeing George he was so so cute thank you Miss Martindale for bringing her in. we really injoyed it.
I hope we can have George again because he was tickly in your hand.
George was so cute. But he was very slow at crawling around. She’s quiet prickly and scaly on his shell. I wish you can bring him in again Miss Martindale.
I wish I was there shame I was ill.
Goerge looks soooooo cuuuuuuuuuuuut
