Should we stay in the moon ? Yes or No !?

I want to stay in the moon because I can learn new things about it.

I want to stay in the moon so I can float because there is very little gravity. I want to find out if there are minerals in the moon. 
I also want to learn about the meteors that have fallen to the moon.

The important thing is, I want to go to moon because I want to know if there are living things in it.

Children should eat ice cream

Ice cream is good because some flavours are delicious.

Children should eat ice cream because it cools them down during summer. They should be given ice cream because it has milk and it makes their bones strong. Ice cream is good because it doesn't have much sugar. 

The important thing is, children should eat ice cream because it also has vitamins from the fruits that can make you healthy.

L.I-WALT write a persuasive writing.

Stop eating chocolates children !!!

Children should not be allowed to eat chocolates because they get hyperactive.

Children should stop eating chocolates because it makes them fat. Its not healthy and it makes their teeth rotten because it has too much sugar. 

The important thing is children should stop eating too much chocolates because they might get diabetes even if they are still young.

How a friend could be better

A friend could be better if they can be trusted.

A friend  should not be a bully because their friend will get angry and it will cause a big fight. A friend could be better if they play with each other, because I will feel lonely if they don't. 

A friend should stop telling lies because their friend will say some unkind words. 

The most important thing is, friends should stop fighting because they will hurt each other.

L.I- WALT write a persuasive writing.

How could adults be better ?

I really think that adults could be better if they stop fighting with each other.

I believe that adults should stop smoking because their children might get sick. 

Adults should also stop being abusive to children because their children will get scared and run away from their house. 

Adults should stop swearing because their kids might say it to other people. 

The most important thing is, adults should stop telling children off in front of other people because they might get embarrassed.

Auckland live trip

Have you seen the activities on Auckland live before ?

 First we went to the Auckland town hall. I saw a group of creative dancers making spirals and Maori patterns. They also taught us some parts of the haka that they performed.

After that, we went on a activity called digital art. I saw bird houses everywhere and I had an Ipad. I pointed it on the bird house then there was a bird flying around.

Then we went on the cellphone blowing and I saw people on a big scree. I dialled a number from telecom. Then I puff on the cellphone and I saw the person's face and hair being blown.

Next we went to the story telling. I was just listening at the man that was telling the story. The made - up stories was goldilocks and a cheetah trying to be the lion king but the prime minister.

Lastly we went to the Herald theatre. I watched a play about Rima and Koru making electricity for the Village.

It was really fun in Auckland live.

Badminton

It was our last day of badminton last Friday.

First we played stuck in the mud. I got tagged lots of time because the taggers was too fast. Then we stopped and listened to the coach.

Coach Ben told us to get rackets and shuttlecocks. Then he told us to be in six person team. After that he took some nets.

Then he split us in threes and we played. I tried focusing on the shuttlecock because the team that I was against was good at badminton.

Finally we finished playing and I helped the coach put the nets back. Then we said goodbye to coach Ben,and then we went back to class.

It was cool playing badminton.

Playing badminton

Woohoo!It's badminton time!!

Last Friday our class went to play badminton in the hall. Then I saw the coach and he introduced himself to us,his name was Ben. He said he will teach us how to play badminton.

We did warm ups. The first thing we did was to jog to the other side of the hall and back. To be honest I ran not jogged as I was supposed to. Next we ran sideways facing the right wall and this time I followed the instruction.

After that our coach taught us how to hold the racket. He told us the parts of the racket and what not to do with it. Then he let us take a racket and taught us how to hit without the shuttle.

Each one was given a shuttlecock and practised hitting it. I tried to focus but the shuttle always falls down. Finally, we said thank you to the coach and and went back to class.

I enjoyed playing badminton,it was the best!

They check the picture of my dog and it was him. They took him home. Finally I took my dog to bed then mum told me the story about it.

Playing golf!

Have you played golf?

Me and my class played golf every Thursday.When all of us are ready, our teacher Mrs.Twomey, called us to line up because coach Stu was waiting. 

Coach Stuart told us to sit on the grass. Then he asked us what we learnt. Few of my class mates raised their hands but I forgot what we learnt.
He told us about sportsmanship.

After that we did warm ups. We stepped and jumped  on every squares as fast as we could and if we miss one or more square you have to do push ups. I missed two squares so I did lots of push ups.

Next we played baseball but we used a golf club and a golf ball.We always swapped over because my group can not follow the instructions.

Playing golf is awesome.

L.I - WALT... write a recount about playing golf.

Turtles are the most popular pet in Room 5L because of their hard shell and they have nice patterns on their back. The least popular pet are the birds since they can easily escape from their cages and free to fly.Very few people have birds as pet because they are not easy to catch.

My Favourite Animal

My Favourite Animal

My favourite animal is a Hare.

There are brown, white, and sometimes black hare.

Hare has long floppy ears. Their eyes can be green, yellow and black.

I think a hare is the best pet because it can jump high and runs so fast that you can’t even catch it.
