I need to work on keeping my letters straight and the right size.

Easter Recount

 

The goal of this writing activity was to retell what we did during Easter.

We had to remember to use sequencing adverbs at the beginning of

of our paragraphs.

EASTER RECOUNT

On the long Easter weekend my family and I went to Karikari Rangiputa beach. We went there for my dad. He was training for dog trials, my dad is into dog kind of stuff.  

Dad loudly used his whistle he trained with his favourite dog Dell. When he was done we went to another spot around the beach. We played there for a little on the sand dunes. 

Weeee! I jumped off the cliff  when I was at the top. I was like WOW because I could see everywhere it was fun jumping off onto a big sand slope. My little baby sister climbed to the very top of the hill. It was insane. It wasn’t hot because we were there when the sun was going down.

After we were finished we went and got some kai for our tummies. We got fish and chips yummy!, We all went to another spot at the beach to eat. We all had a little bit of a yak then we were off on our ways when we were travelling back home I was thinking  that I wished that I could live there, once we got home we cleaned up and went to bed now. 

I enjoyed my Easter weekend.

Olly's Cicadas

 This weeks reading activity was a story called Olly's cicadas.  Here is my response.

Cicada Life cycle

 The goal of this writing activity was to tell the step-by-step life cycle of a cicada. We had to remember to use sequencing adverbs at the beginning of each step/paragraph.

We have been learning some Te Reo.  The question we are learning is “E aha ana koe?” Which means “What are you doing?” We have been learning lots of verbs to use in these sentences.
