Walt: Punctuate our work

Original Version
Once upon a time there was a girl who lived with her pet dragon. She was a very young girl who was jealous of everyone who had parents. She was only jealous because she never had parents. No one ever knew why she was always jealous of them and their parents until one day a boy came to her home because he saw something strange about her. The thing he saw strange about the girl was that she had never ever had parents in her life but she might been jealous about other children with parents so she could go ask other people if she can live with them. “Hello Sir.

Once upon a time there was a girl who lived with her pet dragon. She was a very young girl who was jealous of everyone who had parents. She was only jealous because she never had parents. No one ever knew why she was always jealous of them until... one day a boy came to her home because he saw something strange about her. He saw that she never had walked around with parents. The boy spied on her every day and one day he saw her go to a house. When she got there she said “Hello Sir May I live with you I have no parents and no siblings either” “Uh Sure I guess” the man said hesitatingly “what is your name” she said “ it's Simon” he said. My dragon loves to play with people so you will make good friends with him. “Do you have a guest room?” “yes actually we do” “Can I sleep in there” “sure” he said sit down, there is food there if you are hungry ok” “Yep!!!” she said happily. One of her favorite thing to do is to paint. She was so happy there. One day she decided to leave the house to play with her dragon the ball her and her dragon were playing with went into the forest. She went to get it and when she did she saw something weird and she started exploring the forest. They both saw two figures deep in the wild and noisy forest so they ran away but she felt bad because they might need help. When she got closer she saw 2 human faces it was a woman and a man. She could swear that she had seen these faces before. She had a closer look, then remembered something. It was that when she was born she remembered what her parents looked like. “Could it be” she said starting to tear up “Could it be my parents” The two people came closer and when they saw her face they ran up to her and hugged her. “ Mum, Dad” “Yes it's us were not going anywhere”. She got back home and told Simon that she had found her parents. He didn’t want to let her go but he knew that she wanted to live with her real parents. 1 year later she lived happy with her parents and she still got to visit Simon and she was no longer jealous of other families. She lived a very happy life with her parents.

Task Description: We played a game called 'Pass the Story'. We would write a little bit of the story, and then pass it to the person next to us. They would then continue on the story. After the story was finished, we edited it to make sure it was punctuated it properly.


Advice on camp

Description: Mr Goodwin had given us a task and the task was to answer a question that anyone could ask me about camp. Camp was very fun and I really thought she would like it there. I really liked this task because I got to give some advice about camp to someone and  I thought it was fun.

Waitangi day

WALT: use the structure of a recount to write about a holiday highlight.


Yesterday on Waitangi day I had a family game night at my house with my cousins Oalii, Raewen and  Rowana. On our family game night we played Heads up for heads up we had to get into 2 teams. We also played bus stop for bus stop we needed a pen and paper, the last game we tried to play was monopoly but there wasn’t enough time to play monopoly.

The first thing we did was when my cousins got to my house we played on our devices for a little bit. When we had to get off we all didn't want to so we came up with an idea that was great. The idea was that we could play on a device but it would be fun for the whole family so the first game was heads up. The way Heads up works is you pick a category and we picked the animal category then it will come up with random animals name on the screen then someone has to act out the animal on the screen.

Next when we finished that round we picked another category and it kept on going until the last round. My team was the winning team. We won 2 rounds and the other team only won one round. The next game we tried to played was Monopoly but that game took to long so we decided not to play it.The last game we played was bus stop. The first thing we did to play this game was we got a pen and paper, then we wrote on the top: Name, Country, food, animal , color, Movie and song then someone picked a letter then we all had to write a name underneath where we write name on the top. Then we had to write a country underneath where we wrote country on the top, then it kept on going until we finished writing a song. After that we had to tell everyone who was playing what we wrote for a Name starting with A and if someone got the same name as you then you will only get five points but if no one had the same name as you then you will get 10 points and it keeps going until you have said all of what you wrote. If someone finished before everyone else that was playing  they say bus stop then everyone has to stop and put the pen down then they have to say the name and there country then there food and animal then color and then there movie and last of all there song and that's what we did for Waitangi day. Overall I think Waitangi day was great and fun. I really enjoyed it and I love having having my cousins come over to my house.
