The Big Jump

WALT increase speed when unpacking sentences using ITTM

Here we had to rewrite the ending to the story that we were reading, which was called "The Big Jump".

 Our teacher said that when we do this we could just write it onto the post so that it would be faster. I didn't find anything hard with rewriting it and I actually liked it a lot!

Here it is :)

Climbing up the stairs it felt like going up stairs to my doom! I thought this was going to be exciting but really I nearly peed my pants when I kept climbing higher and higher...

Up there, there was a girl named Sandra, she was the instructor. I hated the idea of going down and everyone seeing that I was scared! She tried to comfort me but it just kept making me think about if something did go wrong, if something did happen to me. She practically just made me more scared to jump off.

Then came Timmy. I embarrassed when I saw him because he would know that I was afraid of heights. I heard them talking but my thoughts were drowning them out. The little voices were saying things, things that didn't really help at all. Things that were to terrifying to even think about. For example DEATH.

Timmy volunteered to go down with me, but I didn't know at the time... I didn't even realize that they were attaching him to me and I finally stopped spacing out when I felt wind on my face and heard someone going "YAAAAYYYY".

I woke up and faced reality. We were going faster than I had ever gone in my life. I felt like I was about to actually pee myself now and I had proven that. By actually doing so...

I got down and didn't realize I had. I blamed it on Timmy for being up there for so long, but everyone saw. Thing is I didn't. Until night time. When Timmy told me himself.
