Up, Up, Up and Away!
It was an absolutely, fantastic, brilliant morning, the birds sweet chirping lingered in the air and the sky was a perfect, pure blue. I woke up and saw how absolutely perfect the day was, I thought about playing with my new bubble mixture. So I grabbed my bubble mixture and shot outside like there was no tomorrow. I started blowing bubbles as if I were a bubble-making machine. I popped some bubbles and some gently floated away. On my first attempt to blow a gigantic bubble it worked and I was starting to feel excited, the bubble seemed magical and it was calling me to jump in, so I thought about it, then I jumped in.
At first it was a little tricky to balance but after a while I got the hang of it. Inside there was a soapy smell and the walls felt smooth and slippery. The view of the town was glorious. I suddenly saw my neighbour (with bright blond hair and a smile that would make anyone go “awww”) waving to me.
Duun, Duun, Daaa! It was the scariest thing I have ever seen (well in this situation anyway) “POWER LINES” I thought the power lines would eat my bubble and I would plummet to Earth like a barrelling meteor whizzing through space. I tried to blow myself away (it didn’t work!). So I ducked down and prepared for the worst. I made it, with only nanometres to spare. I breathed a sigh of relief, but I shouldn’t have as a flock of birds were coming at me. Arragh! Pop! Suddenly I found myself plummeting downwards, I knew what I had to do! I got my bubble mixture and blew a bubble bigger than the universe! The bubble was big, but it did not have the strength of an Olympic medallist so you guessed it, it popped. I closed my eyes and clenched my fists, expecting the end. I dropped my bubble mixture. Suddenly I stopped falling!
I opened my eyes my neighbour had saved me. I felt so grateful because I owed her my life. We floated down to my house, then she blew a bubble and left. Suddenly my bubble mixture came out of nowhere and I caught it and held it as if it were gold. I went home and let the wind close the door for me.

Wow! This is a fantastic narrative recount! I am so impressed by your use of descriptive language to paint pictures in my mind. I could imagine all these things happening. I look forward to reading some more of your work JC. A great first blog post! Miss S.

justin wrote a good story because he used lots of similes and metaphor, and it was very interesting.
