Devontae narrative about friendly dragons

This is what a wrote on our recent writing test





Friendly Dragons

Once upon a time there were 2 teenage boys named Kelvin and Zane they were on their way to get and travel the world till something happened. Their plane got delayed so then they had to wait till early hours in the morning to go and start their adventure. It didn't turn out the way they planned it. But the next morning they woke up so early they couldn’t walk. . when they arrived on the plane they were excited because it was their first time ever going on a plane. When Zane got on the plane he felt nervous. The reason he felt that way was because he had never been far from his mum Zane is younger than Kelvin.


When the plane took off they both couldn't stop looking down because they thought it would break down but suddenly something happened. The plane apparently lost its balance in the air so then the plane was falling from the sky like a missle. When it hit the ground lucky it didn’t explode it was just damaged like i mean damaged so bad no one could fix it. So everyone went their own ways just to find a way out lucky the sun was coming out that would make it easier for them. They went so far away from the plane no one could see them.


When they were try to find there way back they heard something at first they thought it was something special that could help them but it wasn't how could they know the only way they could find out is if they followed whatever was making that sound they looked and looked to something else happened they heard more than one thing moving around what could it be?. As soon as they heard more than one it started to creep them out because they were wondering what it was, they looked and looked but then they were getting thirsty and hungry so they searched for other things to eat and drink. When they went back to finding the plane they finally found it but their supplies were not to be seen. They got worried.

Next they went on another adventure to go and look for things to eat and drink. Suddenly they heard a weird sound again this time they might as well leave it because they were too hungry to follow it. Then of course they found food to eat. It was the only thing on the island. The next thing they did was start searching again for that mysterious sound then they heard it again. Kelvin said “come on not again” then they ran after it they almost caught it but it ran as fast as it could. It was like the thing they were looking for wanted them to chase after it.

Then they finally found what was going on. It was a baby dragon wanting them to chase after them. They were wondering where its mum was then as soon as they said that they saw it charging at them, then they started to run as fast as they could. They thought it was trying to eat them or hurt them but it wasn't trying to hurt them or do anything. By the time she tried to be nice they were gone in a split second. Then they tried to look for the baby dragon again but then it was getting dark so they just couldn’t take it. They needed some rest so then they built them a shelter for the night. By the time it was morning they wanted to search for it to take photos.


Next they wanted to see if the dragons had any other friends then when they started to search again they forgot to pack them some warm things but it was too risky they didn't wanna lose the dragon another time. So then they were on their way looking for another couple or dragons they didn't know were friendly but it was worth a try. So they started to search more and more around places they didn't know about then wa la they found one it was drinking its water so then they tried to take a shot they got but they mom charged at them again and they were gone.


Next they decided to look for more then when they were looking they got a jackpot they found way more then they did before. They found a whole valley of them but then went up to one dragon and thought it would do something bad but it didn't. It just licked his face then after that they became very good friends and they could understand Kelvin and Zane very clearly. So then they asked them if they could get a ride on their backs to go and see where the other passengers were. They were all struggling so bad they thought we turnt crazy but yeah turns out dragons aint bad after all.

So they all rode the sun sit and lived happily ever after even though it was a hard 2 days for them they still came out alive.

Mr Burt Supprise

This morning we celebrated because our principal Mr Burt got a queen's honor for being helpful in the environment. He also helped families when they were struggling. One camp he was very sick but he still made it work it always makes things work that's why he always tries to make something work.





He's a very hard working man because all he does is trys to make us happy. He never has attention. That's what today we gave him a song and haka, today was a special day for him. I think we caught him by surprise.

Devontae Narrative writing

Once upon a time there was four boys named jack,bob,mike,Jake. One day they decided to go on a stroll in the woods then suddenly there was something that caught their eye so they rode closer to see what it was. First they tried to to open it but then it was locked by the time they found the key it would be to dark so then they went home to have a rest then the next day they went back to the spot and started to search for the key. Next they thought they found the key but it was a stick shaped as a key they tried it but it didnt work because it was shaped differently compared to the normal input key. They were looking for ages they tried and tried they thought nothing would work but then they went to look in a different area. They had a look under rocks and inside trees and suddenly they found it next they went to look for the door they found it, it worked then they went to open it they wondered what was behind the door all it was, was all the instruments anyone could ever have or dreamed about they looked for their favorite instrument and they found them one each so they decided to make a band it worked successfully but then they got bored of it so then they thought they would sell it for some prophets and guess what it worked they thought it was gonna be a total failure but when they earnt there prophets they thought about other things.  Well  it turns out they had a good rest of there week finding a good amount of things to sell so they can sell it for prophet to buy them things they need i guess sometimes it can work.
