My Mum

WALT to write a description of our mum using precise words to create an image in our readers minds.

My Mum has greenish blue eyes. She has blond hair and red streaks.She has whitish red skin. My mum is a super duper Mum.

She likes to message people on her phone and talks for hours and hours. She likes to have walks with us and I try to beat everyone. She always does yoga in the morning that is this om-mm om-mm. She always has a cup of coffee before we go to school and it wastes our time.

We make really big delicious fluffy pancakes together. We all so make chocolate chip cookies together. We have walks together too. My mum is the best mum ever because she makes the really really really delicious dinners.
