Catching the Sun retold by Brody

Catching the Sun

Retold by Brody pictures by Brody

“Hello Fox, Magpie and Deer,'' said Saynday as they sprinted up to him. “It’s too icy here”. “We need some light”. “Who’s a fast runner”? “I'm a fast runner” said Fox. “So am I but Fox is faster” said Deer. “You'll have to live there until they trust you” said Saynday. So Fox darted to the other side of the world. When he got there it wasn’t cold, it wasn’t hot it was boiling. He lived there with the Sun people until they trusted him. They taught him how to play their game. One day when they were playing their game Fox knew it was his chance. So he grabbed the sun and darted to Deer and passed it to her. The Sun people were far behind so Deer darted to Magpie and passed it to her so she flew to Saynday. The Sun people were a million miles behind. It got too hot and bright so Saynday threw the sun into the sky so it could be night and day on both sides of the world. And they all lived happily.

My speech

My speech topic is Card Games. I chose this topic because people need to learn about card games. When I presented my speech I felt confident. What I could have done better was eye contact and expression.

Here is my speech:

Did you know that cards can be a way of learning? Card games help children learn, help people of all ages play faster and you can even play on technology. I believe that cards are a good way of learning. Cards are really cheap to buy. There are 52 cards in a pack. You can take them anywhere.                                                                                                

Firstly, everyone on the planet should play card games, because it is lots of fun to play with other people in games such as Uno and Go fish. There can be 1- 6 players which is nice because you can play with your mum and dad and your brothers and sisters. The younger players can learn off older people.                 

Secondly, card games can help us to learn.  Learning card games can teach someone as young as only 3-5 years old. They learn number knowledge and ask the other player if they have the same number they have .Young children can learn how to play Uno and Go fish and other card games that people play.  Everyone can use cards for learning. It is actually good for all ages.

Finally, some people can play card games on technology. If they have no cards to play with or if they don’t know where the cards are they can play on their device. If people play solitaire play pyramid it’s where you have to add up to thirteen.   

 

I believe that people should play cards because they're great. So if you don’t play card games, then play them because they're fun and help you learn people.
