Tongue Twisters

Tongue Twisters

It's now Term 3  Week 1  and we have been learning how make our own tongue twisters and to make one you will need to choose a letter and use it multiple times and try to make it hard to say. They are made not just for fun bu to help you pronounce your words clearly. They don't need to make sense at all, so my ones don't.

These are my ones:

Sally saw some seagulls sitting by the sea shore

Sally sung some silly songs about some smelly socks

Tongue twisters twist your tongue tongue twisters twist

My story

“ what are you doing in my front lawn?” Asked amy puzzled.

“I'm here to move your tree.” Yelled the man in the blue shirt.

What was he doing though amy did i order a truck thing. She watched carefully to see what it was doing. It dug under the tree and lifted the tree and the claw popped back into its socket.

Amy was impressed and wondered how that happened

“Ummm Mr how does this work?” Amy asked requesting a non sarcastic answer.

“Well it works like this 1. It digs under your tree 2. It ended up on the tree 3”

“I GET IT!!” Screamed amy

“Okay then and one other thing is that if the person who wants your tree lives under a bridge then….. YOU ARE DOOMED Just saying you can hire one but… you need a licence”

So the guy walked off

So this is how it works

1. It digs under the tree and lifts it up
2. Moves the tree to another place
3. You need to dig a hole
4. Then you plop the tree into the hole
5. And wallah!             

What it looks like

It is a truck with a claw in the front of it and the claw comes out to grab the tree. The claw is made out of stainless steel. And you could get a licence for one so that you can use one yourself.

How does it move?

It is like an ordinary truck but it holds the tree in the front but in the top.

How does it help?

It helps the air and you can buy a cheap half grown tree and you won't need to buy a tiny expensive tree and it won't take as much time to grow.
