Animal Town.

This week we have used another picture as motivation for our writing. We had a story starter and
then we had to carry on the story.

What I like about my writing is that it is long.

I need to improve on not to uos to much spich.

Here is my writing about Animal Town.

“Yay” I yelled “more people to scare! Oh sorry I haven't introduced myself my name is Spirit
because I am a gorgeous black and white striped Zebra, that is way my name is Spirit.
I present the spirits.”

“What about you? You present the people right?”

“Spirit! Spirit!”

“Oh that is my mother her name is Nearly the queen of all the Zebras in the world.”

“Oh no! Hide Darla, hi mother.” I said. “Oh my darling has anything happened to you?” said Mum.
“No mother but look what I found.” i whispered.

“Ahh! What is this thing?” Mum asked me.

“It is Darla, she came to see the animal town and she is my fun friend. Hang on a minute she is
my only friend, my only excited friend and you are not abandoning her or your abandoning me.
So do not even think about anything bad or else.” I shouted.  

“Or else what? What do you want me to do with her Spirit? Feed her to the hungry jaguars?”
my mad mother said.

“No mother do not even think about that,” I shouted.

“Ok I will not but first can I call Brooke, your mean sister and your nice sister Piata to come out?”
“Ok mother.”

“Piata and Brooke can you come out please?”

“Sure mother the queen.” They replied.

“What do you want me to do mother?” said Brooke.

“Oh my Brooky,  want you to kill your little sisters friend so she can be lonely forever.”

“No mother you can not hurt Darla my only friend.” I said in a dreadful voice, that I have never used.

Before I could finish my dad started talking to stop my mother from hearing my dreadful voice.
My father was trying to make my mother keep an eye on him while Darla and I were able to make
a run for it. We got blocked by Piata but instead of her killing Darla she let us go, she even made a
cover for us so our mother could not notice we were running away.

ASB writing

A few weeks ago we had Marlon from ASB Get wise talking to us about saving our money,
spending money on needs not wants and using invisible money ie eftpos. I have made a google
draw to show what I have learnt. I liked learning about money .

Golf

We have been learning to play golf.

I liked being at golf in Auckland.

I am good at doing my L and Y.

I need to work on swinging the club better.

Hot air balloon writing

This week we have used a picture as motivation for our writing. We had a story starter and then we
had to carry on the story. What I like about my writing is I did not ue to much speeches.

I need to improve on making my story longer.

We also made a google draw showing the things that we would take with us in on the balloon.

While Piata and I were getting ready for blast off in our red and stripy balloon called Cocoa, the gun suddenly went off bang! Bang! And the race began whoosh! Whoosh! Went all the hot air balloons in the race around the world.

“Oh no! We have lost the rest of the racers, Piata,” I shouted. “Can you see them up there?” “No,” they shouted, “all I see is a white house coming to us, we must be crashing!” “Oh no!” I shouted we are crashing in the back of the President of the United  States White House.

“Oh hi President of the United States. I heard you are famous for lots of  business. Are you Donald Trump?” said Piata.

“Yes, I am president Donald Trump,” said Trump.

“Pleased to meet you president Donald Trump. Do you mind helping Piata and I with our hot air balloon.” I said.

“I don't mind helping with that,” he replied.

Finally we are back on the road and almost at the finish line. Bang! Bang! We have just won the $1,000,000. Yay, yay we are now all happy that we have won!
