Hansel and Gretel writing

This week we were continuing on with the Hansel and Gretel writing. We had to write two more plot points. One describing the witch and one describing her feeding Hansel.  

What is your favourite fairy tale? 

Here are my plot points. 

In the opening stood the cottage with a flaky roof and gingerbread door. Hansel and Gretel quietly walked up to the cottage, in the early hours of the evening. The crunchy golden hokey pokey glistened in the sun. The old rustic door pried open, stood behind the door was an old witch with a loing pimply nose with dark brown hair that was matted into a bun.“ Hello children would you like to come in,” The lady said. Gretel jumped and Hansel  answered “ Yes please,” while looking at Gretel. A sharp breeze blew across the old veranda and the old lady’s black cardigan flew up revealing a scarlet red shirt. “ Come on children it’s getting cold. My cottage is warm and cozy,” the lady said. The children wandered in and were overwhelmed with the smell of chocolates and lollies. 

Every second, Every minute, Every hour she fed him, she fed him mavroulis melted marshmallows and jumpy jelly. She fed him cheesy chips, buttery biscuits and ginormous gingerbread. Until he was the biggest, fattest, widest child she had ever come across. What the witch didn’t know was that the children had been fooling the blind lady, Hansel had been holding out a fleshles bone to save his own life. Although she was being tricked she continued to feed the boy, breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Her voice was small with fear, and she shuffled closer to Zadie and took her hand. - Promise

Who knows where it could lead us in a couple of years? - Olga

The lamp fizzled and sputtered overhead. - The promise 

Asafo grasped the wheel of the lock, his arms as strong as ever, his grip as certain. - Promise 

She turned her head to the group and blinked up at them.Then she stood, at first unsteady. - Promise

The fox nudged his muzzle into the gloves webbing although he hated the leather smell - Pax

Then he gave me a spaghetti-and- meatball-flavoured lollipop, and we said goodbye. - Olga

Zadie tried to imagine the world outside.- Promise 

“Yeah,” Zadie replied. “I’m just, you know, thinking.” - The promise

Hansel and Gretal writing

First week back at school for term 3 we did wrote about Hansel and Gretal. We had to write two chunks based on the story using the FANTASTICS. 

This is mine 

The fresh fruity flavour floated though the air. The strong sour scent swept under Hansel and Gretal’s nose.They froze. They froze silently. They froze silently and anxiously  until the rustle of the bushes went away.  The forest was gloomy and mysterious. The breeze was as sharp as a sword.The forest floor squelched under their feet. The birds were as loud as a firework on a quiet night.  

“ I’m afraid,” whispered Gretal. “ Don’t be afraid everything will be OK,” Hansel answered although he knew deep down their mother wanted them gone. Suddenly in the bright open clearing they spotted a cottage with a ridged roof, a crumbled chimney, small dark windows and a wooden door covered in sweets.They knew they shouldn't touch the house but the sweet sour gummy sour patch kids pulled them in. They knew they mustn’t lick anything near the house but the tall sticky sweet lollipops tempted them.They knew there might be consequences but the golden  melting chocolate was too resisting.

Have you read Hansel and Gretal
