Season cameo

This is a example of my writing using adverbs as my sentence starters.

Summer
Finally the warm summer breeze greeted me as I arrived at the beach. As I walked along the beach while dad went fishing I felt the warm sand between my toes. Eventually dad arrived back. He had caught a big fish. He let me hold it. It was slippery, sloppy and slimy. Mum shouted, “ice cream time!”  The yummy smell of all the flavors in the ice cream shop welcomed me. I got cookies in cream with sprinkles. Suddenly the boat honked its loud horn and gave me a big fight. Because it gave me a big fright the sprinkles slowly fell off my ice cream.

Adverbs at the beginning of sentences



I have been learning how to use adverbs as sentence starters to make my writing more interesting.

Loudly the dog barked at the cat up the tree.


Quickly the boy ran across the field.


Bravely he crept towards the dark cave.

Three scientists creating a Balloon Rocket

For the Science fair Jess, Braeden and I did an experiment called Balloon Rocket. I think that we worked together great because we didn't talk too much. The experiment worked out well but the little balloons didn't work. The normal balloon went the furthest and fastest along the string.
Here is a picture of our science board.

Here is a video of our experiment
This is of the double balloon that didn't work very well.
