This is my dog Finn he is a black Labrador x huntaway. Finn’s as black as a shadow. This is a photo of Finn he loves to go for long walks and chew things like sticks, tennis balls and lots of other things. He is incredibly mischief so you have to keep watch of him like an eagle. I take him to a black sand beach everyday. When he barks it sounds like a powerful lion’s roar. He is as fast as a sprinting cheetah in a race. When he sprints he is as fast as a yellow lighting bolt. His collar is orange and bright yellow, he has light blue tag on his collar. Finn has a dog best friend and she is call Gemma * she is a pure breed lab. They go on walks together. They both love to chase cats. As soon as I turn the corner…...
MEOW.

A Moment In Time

A Moment In Time

I was in the golden sand.
My eyes squinting from the shining sun.

I could see the blue waves crashing down on the water. It sounded like rocks

smashing together. A sea salty smell filled the air as I ran towards the water

I could feel my feet sinking into the sand. I keeped running, I could feel

my fingertips slicing through the water. Now I am walking through the water.
I wait and wait until suddenly I see a wave then I get ready to jump into the wave.
Then I start to body surf on the wave. Oh no I see a huge wave coming my way.
CRASH!!

We have been learning to write a moment in time and

not turn it into a story.
