Let's review the diary extract read so far. Yesterday, you predicted what the Iron Man might write next. Did you use the verbs, tumbled and crashed? 

The wind sang through my iron fingers. My great iron head, shaped like a dustbin but as big as a bedroom, slowly turned to the right, slowly I turned to the left. My iron ears turned, this way, that way. I could hear the sea. My eyes, like headlamps, glowed white, then red, then infrared, as I searched the sea. Never before had I seen the sea. I swayed in the strong wind that pressed against my back. I swayed forward, on the brink of the high cliff. My right foot, my enormous iron right foot, lifted - up, out into space, and then I stepped forward. I stood for a moment, peering down at a young person fishing, suddenly my feet started to slip. 

What do we think the Iron Man will write in the next paragraph of his diary extract as he lies in pieces on the beach?
