Explanation Texts

This week in Literacy we have been looking at explanation texts. Here Krishari has tried to explain how Mr Broadfield lost his hair! Eli has had a go too!


Mr B, a year 5 and 6 teacher, lost his afro by using something he shouldn’t have used in the first place. Who could solve the mystery of the afro loss? Well this is how it all happened. Mr Broadfield, last week Sunday, was out all night and was too lazy to get up the following morning. He had a quick hot shower and rushed so much he used red hair dye. He came out the shower, looked in the mirror and screamed “AAAAAAAAHHHHHHH. I’ve ruined my afro. What am I going to do? Well the only thing I can do is......Cut of my beautiful afro.” Looks like it was goodbye afro and hello baldy. “Oh no I’ve turned into..... MR BALDY! Looks like Mr Broadfield is going to be like this forever.

On the fourth day of the summer holidays my fab teacher Mr. Broadfield was up at 7:00 am exactly. He got dressed, washed behind his ears and brushed his teeth in record timing. Today Mr B was going bungee jumping ! Off a Helicopter! Over the Ocean! He’s incredibly brave. Mr. B drove like lightning in his lambagine towards the airport. It was a beautiful day. As he arrived at the airport he could see the helicopter glistening in the breeze. The helicopter took off as soon as he got on. It was nearly time to jump. He tied the string around his leg and before he could stop himself he jumped out like a kangaroo! The pilot told him to stop but it was too late. Mr B’s hair had gone! What would the pupils at St. Mary’s say?
