Persuasive Writing - Term 3 Week 5

1. I plan for a writing task
2. I write a variety of sentence lengths with different  persuasive language sentence starters

We should not have fairs at school.

In my opinion I think that no school should allow fairs.

One of the reasons we should not have fairs is that someone was in the line to get some food and then he goes over to talk to his friend and then another guy pops in to the other guy's place and then the guy goes back to his place and then the guys get into a fight  

My second point is a lot of fairs have bouncy castles and lots of little kids that are under the ages of 4 like going on them but all of the big kids jump too high and knock the little kids off.  This is why it is so dangerous.

Another point is some fair’s start at 10:00 and then when it is night time and it is 11:00 people who live across the street can not get any sleep and they are awake all night and in the morning they are soooo tired

Therefore I strongly believe that we should not have fairs at school

Pets Should not be Allowed in Schools - Term 3 Week 4

Success Criteria:

1. I plan for a writing task
2. I write a variety of sentence lengths with different sentence starters
3. Give reasons with detail - use specific words

6. Use persuasive language

Pets should not be allowed in school.

In my opinion pets should not be allowed In school.

My opinion is that pets should not be allowed in school.  These are the main reasons why we should not allow pets in school.

Another point is the pets can run away from the school and when they are on the road they can get hit by a car and could get badly hurt.

The pets can also cause mischief by distracting the children from their learning and they can do their business in the classroom and people can slip on the lino if a dog or cat did it’s business there.

Some children can also be allergic to furry creatures and they can get really sick and itchy, they can start to sneeze and cough.  Another point is that they can also steal your bag and book packet  and they can eat all of the food

This evidence comes to show that no school should allow pets on their grounds.

When writing a summary, keywords can give people ideas and they also give information.

Example  
Here are three key words about a moa:
Bird, moa and extinct


Here is an example of a sentence: 
A moa is a bird, it is extinct.

Bush Moa.

My Swimming Reflection.

I learned how to… float on my back and turn side to side to breathe.

Something I found challenging was…floating on my back.

At the end of the year I would like to improve on…treading water.

Mrs Miller, Mr Kenny or Mrs Lowe could help me by…I liked every thing that we did.

The best part about swimming was...getting to use the life jacket .

Ormie the greedy pig

We watched a movie called Ormie the pig, I think this is how it ended.

Ormie the pig had to jump out of the plane in 3 minutes.
321 go. 
Ormie jumped out of the plane really fast so he could get his cookies. He landed head first on the fridge and then he slipped off, so he went to get something else to use.
Next minute he came back with a ... bull and they ran into the fridge, but the bull just got a headache.
So Ormie decided  that he would get a moon hopper,  but he was too heavy for it and it popped!

Super Hero Wonder Women

Today it was a school assembly and every one had to dress up as a book character.  I was wonder woman and my special power is when a bad guy comes next to me, I just pull out my whip and whip them if they try and steal stuff.

This is my buddy

Super Black

My character lives in a little dark cottage in the woods.  In the woods there are trolls and lots of wild beasts.

She has short blond hair and a stripy tiger tail, she has black fur and sharp pointy ears.  She has a blue top and blue colored pants.  She has a black neck collar and brown mixed with a bit of red colored bow In a row there is the same colored quiver of arrows on her back.  She has feathers on her feet and a brown belt.  She also has skin colored gloves on her gloves, she has claws and collars on her gloves.  She also has a diamond on her chest and she also has vampire teeth.  Her lipstick is black.

She is a very mean girl, she steals furniture to make her home prettier, and she only likes to come out at night time so she doesn't get shot because she had parents when she was little but they got shot so she is pretty much an orphan.  She doesn't have much food so she sneaks through a secret passageway.
