= SDL =

I think SDL went ok apart from all of the talking in the last five minutes. I thought it was great how you didn't need the teacher to do much and that we got to chose out of 2 different activities. It gave you a chance to prove that you can work well by yourself and not distract others.

=The Green Running Shoes = Hi my name is Marley and today I will be talking about a story that happened a few weeks ago. We were sitting in our house watching Television when all of a sudden Walter came running through the door.

” Move Marley horrible bodies is about start,”yelled Walter. ” You and your big mouth,” I said as I stormed up to my room.” That brat he shouldn’t deserve anything!” I yelled. Suddenly the phone rang. I walked over to find that it was my school teacher Mrs Moore,

” Hello Marley could I please speak to walter?” She said in her posh voice. ” Yeah sure I will go get him right now,” I said as I walked down the zig zag staircase. ” Walter Mrs Moore’s on the phone she wants to speak to you,” I said he sat their in front of the TV.

” Yeah ok I’m coming, I’m coming.” Said Walter in a bored way. He sat up and snatched the phone out of my bare hands.” Go away Marley,” He said as he pressed the phone up against his ear.” Hello” he said and sat their waiting for a reply.

” Oh yes I was just about to tell you something very special that I have bought for you,” Whispered Mrs Moore as she went to get a box. ” I have noticed that you are not prepared for the school cross country run tomorrow, so I need you to come in tomorrow for a special...well a special...surprise. Ok gotta go darling see you tomorrow and come alone,” she said.

Walter started to get excited and I mean really excited. He walked up to his room and started to song about what had just happened. Finally he stopped and he went to bed. The next morning I woke up to Walter had already went to school. So I walked up to the bus stop and made my way to school with my best pair of running shoes. When I got their I found Walter standing outside Mrs Moore’s office.

” Oh No Walter is in trouble,” I exclaimed. Well thats what I thought. Anyway lets go over to walter. ” Now Walter I must be quick but I have a MAGICAL pair of green running shoes for you,” She said as she dumped a box onto Walter’s lap. ” Put them on and you will do well in the race,” she said as walter put them on and headed towards the bus stop.

Walter went home and started to think if he should test the running shoes. Eventually he did and he trained hard for the big run which by the way was tomorrow.

Everyone was their including me! BANG! Walter zoomed off and was well ahead. He was flying past everyone and he was already on his last lap. Walter came up to the finish line and...and YES well done Walter. He actually came 1st. When he finished celebrating Mrs Moore pulled him aside and said.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">” Those shoes are not magic you just thought they were which means that you can run fast. Walter was amazed as he had just came 1st. I was so proud of him! <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Anyway thats the story of The Green Running Shoes. <span style="font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif;">Goodbye Story time.
