Adverb cameo

Adverbs
                                                                                                               
Learning Intention:  We are learning to use adverbs as sentence starters in our cameo writing.

Success Criteria:
- I know what an adverb is.
- I know that I can start a sentence with an adverb.
- I know that a noun/pronoun always follows an adverb sentence starter.
- I know that the adverb must match the verb in the sentence.

Highlight in blue the adverbs
Highlight in yellow the gold for glory words

Remember: Adverbs can also be in the middle or at the end of the sentence.

WINTER

Splish, splosh, glug, glug, gloop. Slowly I trudged through the slick slimy mud. My new purple gumboots groaned repetitively as I walked all the way home across the farm land. Glug, slop, glug, slop. The dark clouds threatened evilly as they held off the torrential rain that was due. Suddenly my sister jumped out from behind an old pine tree as I passed it. I fell backwards. Splat! I was covered completely. Gradually I struggled to my feet and stood there, chocolate dipped and freezing like an ice-cream cone. Angrily I chased her all the way home.

Your Task: To write about going for a walk in another season.
                                                             Spring  

Sprout,sprout. Quietly I walked down the gray concrete path. I had new shining clean running shoes that I was wearing. Happily I looked at all the green plants in the gardens. The golden ball in the blue sky shined on to me like a heater heating a room up. Slowly the rainbow coloured flowers were growing every minute of the day. It was nice seeing the plants grow. Slowly I walked around the roundabout. Carefully I started walking back.

  


                                                                        Here is my basic facts goal.

Partly Cloudy

We watched a short video called Partly Cloudy. We had to write descriptive sentences using adverbs as sentence starters to describe what happened. This is my story.

Partly cloudy

Swiftly the birds flew down to the wooden houses delivering cute baby kittens.
Slowly the big birds gave the cute little animals a home.
Then they flew into the nice soft clouds swiftly.
Magically the big fluffy clouds made little cute animals.
They bagged the little cute animals carefully.
Sadly there was a little grey cloud below.  
Soon bird came over to it.
The sad cloud was suddenly so happy.
The cloud made a crocodile and bagged it up.
Then the sad cloud made a ram.
Fastly the ram bucked the big bird.
The bird looked up and saw a happy bird.
Slowly he flew away with the ram.
Worriedly he got back not sure what he might find.
The sad cloud created a hedgehog.
He bagged it up and the bird took it away.
He flew to the cloud above.
The sad cloud got super angry striking lightning.
He started to cry creating rain below.
Happily the cloud above gave the bird armour.
Happily the sad cloud wiped away his tears.
He made an electric eel.
Softly they cuddled each other.

Maori

 
These are sea animals and the Maori name for the animal.  I am good at saying the names but I get mixed up with whale and crab.
