Recount Writing-Going to Flip-out.

WALT use more interesting words and phrases in our writing.

On Thursday I was going to Flip Out.

I was very excited to go to Flip Out that I had a huge smile on my face.

I went with my nanny, Aunty Mikky and Matt.

First we got in the car. Matt went in his car with my Aunty Mikky.

Next we parked the car into a car park. Matt parked his car too. Then we all went inside to get a paper bracelet so we were allowed to go in. 

After that we had to wait until it was 11 o’clock. I was soooo excited that I had a big smile on my face from ear to ear but… I got soooo bored waiting for our turn that I was spinning around and then my nanny told me to stop so I did. I felt annoyed waiting. 

It was 11 o’clock. “Yaaay!” I said. 

It was our turn. The first thing me, Aunty Mikky and Matt went on was the tramps. “Hee hee,” my aunty laughed. She laughed hard out and me and Matt did too.

After we were finished on the tramps we jumped into the foam pit. Before we jumped into the foam pit we had to jump on this little green tramp and  jump into the foam pit and we did. We jumped on the tramps again and me and my Aunty Mikky jumped off this big hard block onto the tramp. Aunty Mikky jumped off first. I felt very scared to jump off the big block. But I did it. I felt proud of myself.

Then a man came over and said… “Get out of the foam pit. Get off the tramps.” 

He said that because it was the other kids turn. So me, Nanny, Aunty Mikky and Matt went home and Matt was coming to my nanny’s house too because he was staying some nights with us.

Going to my cousin’s birthday

On the holidays I was going to my cousin’s birthday in January.

He was turning 2.

I went with my mum, my nanny also

my brother and sister.

His birthday was at a park in Whangarei.

First we sang… “Happy birthday to you.”

It was fun. Everyone was singing.

Then we ate some of his yummy,

scrumptious light blue cake.

I thought the cake looked incredible.

It was a Cookie Monster cake.

Next we had some food and

I had two yummy, crunchy crispy sausage rolls. 

After that I had a drink and it was fizzy.

It was in a bottle and the colour was ruby red rose.

It was bubbling and fizzing.

I thought it was delicious. 

Finally we had a fun play.

Persuasive Writing-Homework

WALT use the correct structure and language for Persuasive Writing

Homework

Learning is important.

We need to learn at school and at home.

I think we should do homework every day.

Firstly I think we should do homework because it  helps you to achieve your goals.

If you achieve your goals that means you have been doing your homework and you are growing your brain.

Secondly I think we should do homework every day so that we get 100% in our spelling.

If you don’t do your homework then you will not get 100% in your spelling.

Thirdly I think we should do homework so that we can grow our brain smarter and stronger.

If you do your homework then you will grow your brain smarter and stronger.

So that’s why I think we should do homework.

Scratch Junior

I have been learning to code with Scratch Jr.

We have to follow the instruction card and use coding blocks

to move our characters.

I like coding.

Science-Pulleys.

We made a pulley to get Mr Grinlings lunch from his house to

the lighthouse.

Pulleys are machines that make work easier.

Persuasive Writing

WALT use the correct structure and language for Persuasive Writing. 
Brushing Teeth 
Teeth are important for chewing our food. We need to look after them.
 So I think we should brush our teeth every day.

 Firstly I think we should brush our teeth every day so that our teeth are healthy and strong.
 When you brush your teeth you get all of the germs out so they don’t damage your teeth.

 Secondly I think we should brush our teeth every day because we need to look after our teeth so we don’t get cavities. What causes the cavities is the germs so when we brush our teeth the germs will go away.

 Thirdly I think we should brush our teeth every day so we have a fresh, yummy, clean mouth and breath. When we brush our teeth all of the bacteria comes out and so our teeth smell clean and nice.

 So that’s why I think we should brush our teeth every day.

Recount Writing - Mother's Day

I am learning to add more details to my writing.

Mother’s Day.

On Sunday it was Mother’s Day but it was raining very very hard and our flowers were wet. They were dripping wet.

When I woke up in the morning I got out of bed and went into the lounge and saw my step dad Mike, my step sister Lilly, my brother Jayden and my sister Abigail.

When I got into the lounge we were writing a card to Mum from all of us.

It said… To mummy lots of love Grace, Lilly,

Jayden and Abigail.

My Mum.

My Mum

My mum is a lovely beautiful mum who cares for me and loves me.

My mum loves me so much.
I love her too because she makes sure I’m safe.

She cooks for me. She is as sweet as a cupcake.

My mum has a big heart with love and joy inside of it
and she loves me to bit of pieces.

She is as busy as a bee and she fills my invisible bucket
right to the top and it doesn’t even spill.

She cleans the house. She washes and dries my clothes
and looks after my baby brother and feeds him too.

My mum is caring and helpful and does the dishes too.

My mum loves me but I love her the most.

Happy Mothers day Mum.

I hope you have a nice Mothers day.

Lots of love Grace xxxx

Recount Writing-Going to work with my daddy.

I am learning to add detail to support my ideas.

Going to work with my daddy

On Saturday morning my brother, sister and I were going to work with our daddy.
First my daddy woke us up.

Next we got dressed into our clothes.
Finally my daddy made us some peanut butter toast and
then we hopped in the truck and ate our toast. I felt glad.

When we got to my daddy’s work, my poppa printed out some pictures
and we coloured them in.

I felt very lucky to go to work with my daddy because
I thought if I asked if l could come to work he would let me come and he did.
When my daddy came up the stairs my Uncle Jared came up too. When he got upstairs

he gave us a genormous big chelsea bun each.

My daddy had a little round circled pie. And we ate them.

Our chelsea buns were a good texture and they were nice,
sweet, pink, yummy, with smooth frosting.
After we ate our chelsea buns me and my brother, and sister were

drawing on the whiteboard. I used a pink marker,

my sister used a red marker and my brother

used a blue marker. After that we were finishing

our pictures. Then we went back home.

My Pet Dog

My pet dog

Hi my name is Grace and I have a pet dog
that is black and her name is Kora.
She is a German Shepherd. She is a lovely,
lovely dog because she gives dog kisses all the time.

She jumps up to me when I come home
and she plays with me a lot.

Kora had puppies but they died. I felt sad.
They were too heavy for her so they died.

Sometimes I give dog treats because
when I tell her to sit she sits down.

Recount Writing

I wrote this story about going to my Nanny and Poppa's house.

I like my story because I worked hard to write a long story.

Going to nanny's and poppa's

On Saturday afternoon my brother, sister,
Leah, Sophia  daddy and I went to my nanny's
and poppa’s house to have dinner and have a long play too.

First me and my family hopped out of the car.

Next we went inside my nanny's and poppa’s house.

After that my nanny started cooking dinner while me,
my brother, my sister and Sophia were playing.

What happened was when me, my brother and
sister were playing with my Uncle Jared he wanted
to play taking photos at the photo shop.

Finally we had a yummy yummy dinner.
After dinner we had some pudding and
our pudding was yummy pavlova.

Uncle Jared. We played the same thing
that we were playing before.
I was feeling really happy that I got to go and
see my nanny and poppa with my brother,
sister and Sophia. After we had a long play
it was dark and I had to say goodbye to my nanny,
poppa and auntys and uncles. After we said
goodbye we went back to our house.

When we got home we hopped into bed

and my daddy tucked us in and said… Goodnight.

My 2019 Term 1 Goal Setting.

Here is my Goal Setting for Term 1 2019. I will work hard to achieve my goals.

Explain Writing.

Here is my Explain Writing Sample. I wrote this story without any help from my teacher.

In our Taotoro school commnuity people like to
dance but we don’t have a dance room. They are sad.
So the facilty that is needed by our Tautoro
school community is a dance room.
Why is a dance room needed by our
Taotoro school community?

First a dance room is needed so that
people can learn how to dance.

Secend so that people learn how to dance.

Last so people have lots of space while they are dancing.

So in concluson these are the reasons
why a dance room is needed by our Tautoro school
community.
