Week 4 Dictation

Breakfast with Heather

Over breakfast Heather and I discussed the weather.  Following this, Heather explained how she had read about an odd bird.  This bird had lost all of its feathers.  This featherless bird was dressed in leather.  The leather outfit made the featherless bird sweat and become breathless.  Being featherless must not be good for the poor bird’s health.

Week 3 Dictation

Week 3- Keep Clear

An adult male with a large beard was speeding up the road.  He did grind his gears as he went.  A small boy in the rear of the speeding car was full of fear.  This did not deter the speeding male.  He drove on until he nearly hit a dear old lady.  The small boy exited the car when it stopped.  Then he informed officers on the street to keep clear on this crazy driver.

Dictation week 2

 Lucy’s Scratch

Lucy walked past the hutch and scratched herself on the latch.  Lucy clutched her arm.  Lucy’s arm bled.  Lucy did need to go to hospital and have her arm stitched up.  Once home, Lucy’s mum placed a patch on the scratch.  Luckily, the scratch was not deep and did not need stitches.  Later, the scratch became itchy.  Lucy did rub her scratch to stop it from being itchy.  Cleverly, Lucy did resist scratching it as this would have made it bleed.

Week 1- A Scouting Owl

A powerful brown owl did constantly scout about for a feast.  The owl flew high above looking down on the ground for his next meal.  The owl flew over flowerbeds, over mounds of hay and around towns filled with houses.  When the owl saw a mouse, it would pounce with all its power and speed.  At times mice were lucky and were able to retreat into their underground houses.
