My Mother

WALT…. Write a Character description and use ‘show not tell’ in our writing This term we have been learning about character descriptions. For Mothers Day, we described our mothers or a female in our life. So our sister, auntie or grandparent. We had previously been using Pig the Pug for practice and learning the sequence of the topics. Here is what I came up with.


 My Mother

My Mum came into this world in 1975 as a yelling and screaming baby.
44 years later, the only yelling she does is at me.

My mum is short. I am taller than my mum. My mum is the shortest in the family.
My dad says she has ducks disease because her butt is too close to the ground.
Mum claims she has shrunk because of her compression fracture!

My mum is kind and loving. She can get very grumpy and angry when
my cousins Drew and Bryn comes over.
Mum calls it ‘Barns Boot Camp’ because it is the only
time they have structure in their day. They trash the house to make my mum furious.
It works every time.

My mum loves sitting with her friends. She loves talking to them
on the phone for what seems like hours on end.
She invites her friends over and their furry friends come and
play with our dogs and birds.

My mum loves having a clean house. Mum and I clean the house every Sunday
while dad is at work. It is just easier with just one child, not two.
Plus, I am more helpful anyway.

Mum is kind, loving and friendly when her two children are behaving. She is forgiving, gentle and thoughtful in every single way.

 I love you very much mum.
 From your darling daughter,
 Nevaeh.
