SIZZLING STARTS BY 2-3 JACOBSON

‘One day….On the weekend….Once upon a time…’ are just a few of the common sentence starters 2-3’s noticed that we use to begin our writing.

  • Tap, tap, tap went the tap dancing shoes on the concrete stage. – Peppa & Grace
  • Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh went the ballerina dancers spinning really fast. - Kobi & Nick
  • At the start of the lyrical, I was nervous but that didn’t stop me from what I loved. - Silas & Milly
  • I leapt out of my bed and ran to the car and Mum drove me to the humungous dance floor. -Henry, Lacie & Olive

  • The killer wasp gracefully flapped his miniature wings with talent as he danced with a millipede. – Emillia & Sonny F
  • The ballerina came out of nowhere and leapt onto the stage while the crowd goes wild. She spins and twirls around on her tippy toes. - Toby, Darcy, Hugh & Chelsea
  • A dancer spins on their head fast until dizziness occurred, making them flip onto the concrete colliding with the hard floor. - Harry, Angel, Hailey & Divinia
  • “I don’t want to go to the dance floor Mum, please!” – Olive, Henry & Lacie
  • Have you ever danced in front of 1000 people? Well I have with 100 dogs doing ballet. - Peppa & Grace
