Write 3 sentences, please try to make them different numbered sentences.  

WALT - Begin to draft my ideas for my 4th paragraph - The problem.  

The problem - again this will take a couple of days, so please do not rush this.

Read our model text (Build up section is below), 
look at:

• how punctuation is used
• sentence starters
• adventurous vocabulary
• use of figurative language (onomatopoeia, similes) speech (even to herself)
• how she's feeling (extension on these ideas) 
• how the story is building up to the main problem 

Use these ideas to help you with your writing task.

A mermaid appeared and invited her to swim with her to her underground village: surprisingly, Andy could hold her breath under water. She swam down to the underground world where she met other mermaids and mermen. She heard about the dreaded Sea Wizard: he sacrificed both fish and mer-creatures. He displayed their bones as a warning to others.
