The Snow

Boom!!!  the sound of dynamite exploding in the distance. My Mum said that they use it for getting rid of rocks so people can ski and snowboard in different locations each one with a different skill level.
Pow!!! A snow ball came flying at my head “Ow!” I shouted.
“ Conner wait till we get down to the ski field and get our waterproof gear on and then you can have a snowball  fight. “Ok…” my brother moaned. We line up for the chair lift down to the ski field. We get there and got our stuff on and got our boards they were bigger than I expected. Me and my dad clipped into our boards  and   went to the edge of the ski slope. I thought to myself should I do this and then whoosh I went zooming down the ski slope on my snow board I wiped out  three quarters of the way down I said to myself  I’m  going to change to skis now. Me and my dad lined up to go on the ski lift. I sat down on the chair. Tt went up slowly and got faster and then thud the chair lift stopped. I thought  to myself what happened is it broken am I going to up here forever eeek phew the chair lift started back up again. I thought I was a goner I hoped of the chair lift and walked down with my snow board I asked my dad if I could change to skis and he said “ sure,”. We went to the ski shop and got some skis and again there I was on the edge of the ski slope I lent ford and whoosh!!! I was off  I was going faster than I expected and then BOOM!!!! I crashed into the snow my skis came off and came tumbling down the mountain I managed to grab onto some ice and help myself . Picking up  my skis I walked back up that was enough for me. I walked over to my brother who was sledding and I said to him “ do you want build a snow fort”
“Ok” he said we found a hole and we cleared all the snow out then disaster struck we were under attack we hid in snow fort throwing snowballs at the enemy we had idea who it was. I peeked up over the wall of the fort and guess who it was DAD. Me and brother grabbed more snow balls and absolutely obliterated him with snow balls. He shouted “ I surrender you guys win,”
“It's about time,” I said

“ and it's also time to go,” dad said.

I am proud of this learning because it has really good descriptive writing.
This piece of writing really puts a picture in the readers head about what we did at the snow.
I have been working on making my writing more descriptive and I think I did that really well. In my writing I used my revising muscle to go back and make my writing better. I think my most descriptive vocab words would probably be distance, tumbling, locations, waterproof and zooming because I think they are really descriptive and put a picture in the readers head.
