Little Red Riding Hood

We have been learning to use present participles in our writing.
Meeting the cheeky wolf in the forest, Little Red Riding Hood talked to it.
The wolf said, “Where are you off to, my dear?”
“I’m off to see my grandma at her cottage, to drop off some goodies.”
The sneaky wolf was asking weird sneaky questions. He asked, “What is in that basket, Little Red Riding Hood?”
“Cookies.”
Deciding to carry on, Little Red Riding Hood set off. It was soundless for a few minutes. As she carried on, she came to her cottage. Hearing her grandma's voice, Little Red Riding Hood said to Grandma, “Good morning. I have some goodies for you. I will put them on your nice soft bed, okay.”
Coming out thinking what was in the basket, Grandma said, “What’s in that giant basket?” It was the wolf acting as Grandma, as Grandma was  taped up in the cupboard.

Touch Time

We have been learning to use a present participle in our writing.
‘‘Warming up my team, I stretched and passed the ball around to be good at catching it. It was time to start the game.
The opposition got the ball first. They ran down the sideline but we were too fast for them. We kept holding them off. It was time for our turn with the ball.

Passing the ball to Mia, she rocketed down the sideline and scored a marvellous try my team and I clapped. 
Zigzagging through the whole team, Mark placed the ball on the try line.
