ReplyDeleteGoldilocks’ Diary
ReplyDeleteDear Diary
Today was my birthday. I am now 8 years old. When I woke up I was so so happy because it was not long till my party. I jumped on my Mum and Dad, they woke up, ‘’happy birthday’’ they said. I had my breakfast then opened my presents and cards. While Mum and Dad got things ready for the party, I looked out for my party guests and the Jolly Postman. I knew they would come but it was a long wait. Some of my guests arrived and we started to play. When the Jolly Postman came I invited him to come and join the party. He gave me a card and then we had some jelly. After that we played Postman’s Knock and had lots of fun. It was a cool party. When everyone had gone I opened my card, it was from Baby Bunting and his mum. They gave me a 1 pound note. I have had a great birthday.

I opened the letter and it said 'dear baby bear I'm very sorry that i broke your chair' it was from Goldilocks. I am still very angry with her and its the end of the day now maybe tomorrow I will feel less mad with her. from $billy$
ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
ReplyDeleteI was asleep in bed when I heard baby screaming. Then I heard the doorbell ring.
I opened the door and I said hello but there was no one there! Then I looked down and there was a little man with a teeny tiny letter in his hand. The jolly postman, of course!!!
I gave him some tea and read the postcard from Jack my friend. With baby on my lap, I said goodbye happily and shut the door loudly behind him.
Love, Giant xxxxoooo

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
This morning as we were gathered around the table for breakfast, the doorbell rang. Mum got the door, and who else could it be than the ever so lively postman? He parked his shiny red bicycle, and with his usual smiley face handed a letter to Dad and sat down, while Mum poured him some tea. We don’t get post very often, so it was quite a pleasant surprise for us!
Actually we were still recovering from the shocking events of yesterday. While we were out for a stroll in the forest, an intruder had sneaked in and wreaked havoc in our cottage! All of my sumptuous porridge was eaten, and my chair was reduced to a useless heap of wood. The intruder turned out to be no more than a little girl who had even fallen asleep on my bed! But when she woke up, she was very scared to see us, and she fled! We never expected to find out who she was, but the postman’s visit today proved us wrong.
As Mum and Dad read the letter, I played with the friendly postman. I saw their faces lighten up and they seemed very happy about something. After they bid the postman farewell, Mum explained to me that the letter was from our little intruder who was called Goldilocks, and she had sincerely apologised for the trouble she had caused us. She was genuinely sorry for eating my porridge and promised to get her Dad to fix my broken chair. She had even invited me to her party, and I am looking forward to attending it for sure and having loads of fun!
I am really excited because it is Christmas Eve and I am hoping to get a parcel in the post. It is a very special parcel because it's coming from the other side of the world, New Zealand. Unhappily, I have two mean and nasty step-sisters who don't let me have nice things. So to stop them from taking my parcel I walked to the gate to meet the Jolly Postman there.
ReplyDelete"Happy Christmas and here is the parcel all the way from New Zealand," he said,
"Thank you and here's a new hat to keep your ears warm," I replied.
I rushed back indoors and hurried upstairs to open my parcel in my room. It was a ...
NEW DRESS!
Isabel, this is an imaginative post. I like that you started a sentence with an adverb and have even included some dialogue between the characters.
DeleteDear Diary,

ReplyDeleteDear Diary,
Today was just terribly mad. First things first, at 7:00 am sharp there was a knock on the door. It was so quiet as a mouse that I could barely hear it. I muttered to myself, “Giants like me need more sleep!”
I was shocked to see that the man at the door was so tiny and he had such a miniature Postcard with him. At that point I got dizzy, not knowing whom this person is, but I thought again. Is this the Jolly Postman the whole neighbourhood talks about? In a flash, the Jolly Postman went inside and made himself a cup of tea.
When I managed to recover from my dizziness I was shocked to see that the Postman was gone! I picked up the letter and found out that it was from my very little pal, Jack.
Dear Goldilocks, I hope you like your birthday and I got sad news I cant come on your birthday because, I am sick and I am in my bed. I am sorry that i cant come on your birthday, but on your next birthday I will come.
ReplyDeleteLove from Giant. :) xxx
When the Jolly Postman came I felt gleeful beacause I like visitors and gave champain to the postman. But as I realised he drank a bit to much and felt like fainting but not for long. It got a bit weired because no one cold drink that much champain. Luckily he got back up and had a rest but the gurards got a bit angry because they wern't expecting any visitors. From Cinderella.
ReplyDeleteI really like that you are experimenting with different adjectives and adverbs.

ReplyDeleteWhen I was choosing my outfit to go to the ball, there was a sudden knock at the door. I rushed to the main door, but then I realized my butler had beat me to it. I noticed a familiar face.... the Jolly Postman! I was extremely pleased to see him as I was not having a good day. I welcomed him and offered him drinks. When we went inside I secretly whispered to my butler to get some Champagne for us.
ReplyDeleteI led him into the living room and we had a long conversation about our holidays. After a while my butler arrived with a bottle of chilled champagne which he served in fine crystal glasses. The Jolly Postman slowly sipped his drink while I went on talking about my trip to France. Then it was his turn to tell me about his weekend. That's when I noticed the time. I told the Jolly Postman what I had seen and he hurried out as he was running late.
I took a deep breath and continued with what I was doing earlier.
