My First Novel

You've seen my blog posts from when I was 7, but have you seen my schoolwork from when I was 6? Nope... but you're about to. To give some context, my class went on a trip to a local nature reserve. When we came back, we were asked to write an account of what we had done, complete with keywords from a word bank and our own illustrations.

Oh dear.

I've blurred out locations and faces for obvious reasons, but I'll leave all my spelling mistakes in there for your enjoyment. I'm sure you'll be able to tell what 6-year-old me meant, and if you can't, I've corrected my mistakes at the bottom of this post. ;)

"'My Trip to [location]' - Author Amber, Illustrate Amber."

"We went on a coach to [location.] First we had a puppet show. Next we went pond dipping and we all cort some crechs. I fawnd a snaell."

"Next we had a picnic lunch. I had my favrot crisps. I saw a dragonfly. I saw a speshel plants."

"After lunch we went over the brige and bridge and droo some lovelee plants. I droo a hosetale. It was a brileet time. Next I got on the coach. I felt happy on the coach. Finally we got back to school. We all made a wordbangk."

 Oh, I am so glad my spelling and drawing has improved.

At least, I hope it has.

Should I do more posts like this? I know exactly where my literacy book is from when I was 5...

Cort = Caught. Crechs = Creatures. Fawnd = Found. Snaell = Snail. Favrot = Favourite. Speshel = Special. Droo = Drew. Lovelee = Lovely. Brileet = Brilliant. Wordbangk = Wordbank.
