Task 3

200 word story Task 3 The secret of Lucy the doll. Once upon a time there lived a doll called Lucy. Lucy lived in a two story play house in Anna’s room. Lucy was always left on top of her bed but one day when Anna was playing with her, she left Lucy on the floor. Lucy had never been alone in Anna’s bedroom before and she began to feel excited. She could do anything she wanted! Lucy took off her black belt and untied her shoelaces and began to exploring the room. She swung on the curtains and jumped on the bed until suddenly Anna came home from school, so she scrambled back down to her little house. When Anna walked in, she saw Lucy’s belt and shoelaces lying on the floor. Quickly Anna opened the playhouse door and gently grabbed Lucy. “How did your belt and shoelaces fall off you?” asked Anna. “Oh look at the clock I must go and have dinner.” From that day on Lucy came outside the playhouse everyday until one day Anna saw her swinging on the curtains. “OMG Lucy how... but... how did you just do that you are only a doll?” declared Anna. “I’m not just a doll I am a REAL doll!” replied Lucy. “But how long have you been... well alive?” “Forever.” “Wow I never knew.” And from that day on Lucy and Anna were best friends but no-one else ever found out the secret of Lucy the doll.

Task 4 - 500 words "Oh I’m so nervous!" said Bridie. "I've never even done ballet before." "Oh, don't worry about it you will be fine," says Kara, "I'm not nervous at all."   “Hey Bridie look at this!” yelled Kara from across the netball courts. “Look they are going to start teaching ballet classes.” “Cool, are you going to start classes Kara?” Asked Bridie. “No we are going to together, come on lets go sign up.” “Are you sure Kara? I don’t think I’m going to be able to do this!” “Oh stop worrying you will be fine and before you know it you will be prancing around at the concert coming up,” reassured Kara. So Kara and Bridie had their first class, but Bridie was struggling to keep up. “Bridie are you doing ok? You look a bit lost.” Asked Miss Twinkle toes. “Yes I am doing just fine,” replied Bridie. But Bridie wasn’t doing fine, in fact she was doing terrible and she just wanted to give up! Finally the first class had come to an end and Bridie was glad! “Man Bridie that was so fun I can’t wait till next lesson,” Kara said. But then she realised that she was the only one who had enjoyed the lesson out of the two of them. “I’m so bad Kara and I never want to go back again!” O cheer up Bridie you are going to do just fine, just wait and you will see.” Before they new it they were at their second lesson and Kara was looking like a star! “Welcome back girls I’m glad you wanted to come back.” Said Miss Twinkle Toes. “We are most excited about the concert coming up!” exclaimed Kara. This lesson was even worse for Bridie she was tripping up, slipping over and she was very embarrassed. After the lesson Miss Twinkle Toes had a quick word with Kara about Bridie. “Kara could I please have a quick word with you?” asked Miss Twinkle Toes. “Sure,” said Kara. “I am beginning to worry about your friend Bridie. She isn’t picking up the moves very quickly and the concert is next week, I was wondering if you could help her out and teach her some things at home? Here is the music.” “Okay Miss Twinkle Toes, I would be happy to help.” “Ready girls? You are all looking stunning. Remember to smile and all just do your best.” As the music started all the little ballerinas pranced onto the stage. Everything was going well, even for Bridie until she slipped over wowing the audience. She slid right across the stage, through the curtain and off onto the floor. “Bridie, Bridie are you okay?” Screamed Kara. She rushed to Bridie’s side. “I’m, I’m so embarrassed!” Cried Bridie. “Don’t worry just stand up and show everybody how good you can be! Remember what we practised at home? I believe in you Bridie.” So Bridie stood up in front of everyone and climbed back up onto the stage and the music started once again. This time she was the only one on stage and everyone cheered. She pranced and leaped and twirled until the show was over. When she had finally finished the crowd applauded a huge applause. Bridie that was awesome I knew you could do it if you just believed. And from that day on Kara and Bridie went to Ballet every lesson and they grew to become the stars of the show.
