Persuasion

Today in writing we re-visited O.R.E.O writing and I did a UN-jumbling activity that helped me to restore my memory of Oreo writing. After we took a stance on a topic. "Animals should be kept as pets". The easy part was coming up with reasons the hard part was trying to come up with reasons on the spot in our debate against pets should not be kept as pets. My next step is to backup my reasons

Narrative writing

For the last week we have been learning about narrative writing and to write about what it would feel like to be a dog. The hard part was making my story interesting the easy part was making my story easy to read. here is my story. My next step is to add more adjectives.

It’s a normal Monday night I’d just finished rugby training. I'm puffed out and I just want to go to bed. But my mum is making  me eat so I don't eat too much. Tomorrow is the biggest game of the year for our team. Because we are competing against the top team and the winning gets to fly to America to meet a famous.

So I go to bed remembering to warm up in my backyard. I woke up in the morning and try to put on my clothes but for some reason i can’t. Soon I noticed I’m a furry overgrown German Shepherd. I'm sad because I can’t tell my mum I'm a dog and I barely see my dad because hes always at work. I keep thinking what am I supposed to do I'm the leading scorer in my team. Then I feel like I,m cursed or something I never thought something bad would happen to me. After I blackout and I'm just lying on the ground as a dog. As I lay on the ground I'm petrified am I going to stay like this forever? Is it a dream? I thing of all the bad things as a dog and I won’t be treated more than just a pet. What am I supposed to do. I can’t stop thinking about all the bad things like eating from a bowl, being caged up in the cold unpredictable pitch black night. I keep saying this is only a dream, this is only a dream. Two hours later I hear my mum calling me “Dave come on we are going to be late for you're big game” I am moping around jump into the car like a sack of potatoes and just sit in the car and watch my team get torn up by the other team. I'm just mad saying “why now it could’ve been any other time but now” and then I'm just mad because I never even got a chance to go to America. Well I go to bed sad and wake up the next day and I'm normal. “How ironic” I change back the day after I get changed to a dog I'm not mad just disappointed that I didn't get a shot at our game yesterday and then I just say oh well  maybe next time.

Two weeks later my mum gets a call from our coach saying “The other team canceled it turns out the opposing coach paid the ref to be one sided so our whole team was excited to go to America and go to Disneyland and everywhere else it was a miracle I was so happy that we went.

Goals for writing

Today I choose a couple of goals for writing these goals indicate what I need to work for our writing rubrics. My goals are I need to write a variety of sentences that are grammatically correct and I need to stay on the specific genre and use the right words.

Metaphors

This week for writing we've been writing metaphors for our buddy class metaphors are when you say something is something not like something for example dad is steel strong we had a deadline Thursday April 5th

Writing post

Last week we wrote a piece of writing what makes a good friend. We had to re write the story on every second line the easy part was writing the hard part was I had to keep looking forward and back so I could finish my writing.

Poetry

This week I have been learning hot to write poetry there's to ways to write poetry write  the first word that comes to your head then think of words that relate to that word. Then the other way again say the first word that comes to your head then think of 7 words about that word then 2 words that relate to those words.

Is sport better than kapa

Do you think sport is better than kapa haka if not what are your reason's.


Firstly I suggest sport is better because its fun and it will keep you on track.


Secondly it's vital that you contribute to sport because it can keep you fit for example you will move a lot faster and you will be fit.

Thirdly I believe sport is better than Kapa haka because you can stay strong and healthy for example you will eat more healthy food and won't get sick, get diabetes or be obese

Finally  for all these reasons and examples I strongly believe that sport is better than kapa haka because it can keep you fit, strong, healthy and stop you from getting sick. 

Leaving Aussie

Leaving Saying goodbye Airport It was a breezy morning over in Aussie But it was my last day there it was very Sad having to leave because I would have to leave my brother over their.

 Once all our stuff was packed it was time to say our goodbyes. First my aunt had to leave it was very sad, but then we had to say bye to my older brother it was very hard having to leave him there because he’s our older sibling.
