Shoping with my Mum

Mischa 28/7/16 Shopping With My Mum

One rainy day, my mum and I drove off to The Base because I had to spend my birthday money.

I wanted to have a look at the Warehouse so Mum and I ran through the freezing rain to get to the Warehouse.

When I finally reached  the warmth air of the shop, I could  no longer feel the cold rain.

First, I spotted a blue blanket. I could not keep my eyes off it so  I asked my mum if I could get it. Mum replied yes. I was so happy.

Soon after that, my eyes spotted two pairs of pyjamas one had Pink flamingos and the other pair had Paris. I asked if I could get the Pyjamas.  Mum said yes.  My heart was pounding with excitement.

Ten minutes later, I asked if I could go to Kmart so Mum and I had to walk in the freezing cold air.

Finally, when Mum and I arrived in the warmth air of Kmart, I raced to the pillows I saw a pillow it said dream.

So Mum and I  strolled off to the checkouts and paid for my pillow. I was so happy.

Matariki

Matariki

Long time ago, there lived seven sisters. They were mean to other people. They thought they were the best even though they were the meanest. They loved making people cry and they loved stealing people's goodies.  

One day, the seven sisters climbed a tree. It was not like any other tree. It was called the golden tree because it was gold coloured. The tree reached right to the sky but this day it led them to more.

As they climbed up the big tree, they heard a big noise. They got frightened. It was an albatross flying in the air. All of the seven sisters got scared as the albatross came towards them. They got caught then suddenly the seven sisters got put up in the milky way and that is how Matariki started.

Tom's Bad Day With His Snake

WALT make up a story about a Pet Day problem.

WWBSWW:

• Begin with an orientation to tell the reader who, did what, where and when.

“Pet Day will be on Friday,” Miss Anderson, Tom’s teacher, announced to the class on Monday. “Bring your pet to school and tell us about it, then we will have a pet parade.”

Tom was so excited. He would be able to bring Harry to school to 

show everyone.

• Write the events leading up to the problem.

At the end of the day, he ran all the way home to get his pet ready for Friday.

He loved Harry and had wanted to show his friends for a long time, but his mum and dad had told him that Harry must never leave the house; but, now, his

teacher had given him permission to bring it to school.

Smilingly, he polished Harry’s green silky skin, talking to it with his friendly voice. “You’re allowed to come to school, Harry. You can meet my friends and my friends can meet you.”

As soon as Friday came around, Harry carefully took Harry out of its cage and placed him into his black backpack. He couldn’t wait to get to school, so he ran

all the way.

When the bell rang, he and the rest of the class stepped into the 

classroom.

• Write the problem.

Tom opened his backpack to show his friends what he had brought to school for Pet Day.

“It’s a green, slippery, slimey …...................” he said slowly. “Snake!” he 

shouted.

“Tom Denver, give me that thing right now!” Miss Anderson 

commanded.

Tom opened his hand to pass it over, but, at that moment, naughty Billy Burton lunged to grab it himself. He bumped Tom’s shoulder and Tom hurtled forward, the snake flying out of his hand to the back of the classroom.

“Eeeeeee! Where is it?” squealed Miss Anderson.

Chaos threatened in Room 4.  Children jumped up and ran around, screeching

their lungs out and pushing over chairs and desks, trying to find Tom’s snake.

• Write the events to tell your readers how the problem was solved.

Miss Anderson was mad but, suddenly, Tom had a solution. He asked his friend, Johnathan, to get some food so he did.

Tom stood behind Harry and, with a big HISS! Tom let go.

Everyone was screaming their lungs out.

Tom yanked Harry. He struggled as he was trying to hold on. He was frightened. He did not want to get told off any more.

Everyone was happy.

"Right!" roared Miss Anderson. "You will not bring Harry again!"

Everyone agreed with a big ‘yes’.

Tom smiled and sat down at his tall desk.

Well done, Mischa. You have written some interesting sentences, especially in paragraph 4, where you explained to us how Tom was feeling.
