The Terrible storm by Indi

 For writing this week we had to wright about this pitcher here is my work:

BANG! went the thunder. The waves crashed against the boat. The boat started rocking side to side. The animals were getting scared. Noah was trying to steer the boat around the rocks but it was very difficult. The giant waves were crashing against the side of the boat. There was lightning and thunder everywhere and the rain was pouring down. The animals were soaking wet and freezing cold. The small animals were sheltering under the beds. The sky had turned from grey to black and the lightning was hitting the water. Suddenly the boat crashed into some rocks!

The boat started sinking underwater and some of the animals were struggling to stay on, sadly some of the animals lost their grip and slid off the side of the boat. They splashed into the freezing cold rough sea. The animals started swimming. 

Luckily Noah spotted an island that was close by and he pointed the animals in that direction. The cold trembling animals swam to the island and dragged themselves on the sand. They huddled together in a group to try and keep warm while they waited for the others to arrive. Noah and the other animals were close behind and swam to the island quickly. The boat fully sunk into the deep sea and was never seen again.

The End

Why I should be allowed to stay up later

 This week for writing we had to do persuasive writing. Here is my writing.

I should be allowed to stay up later.

I should be allowed to stay up later these are my reasons:

Firstly, I want more time to do the things I like. The things I like to do are: watch tv, play board games, do art, play with my kitten, read and play. By staying up later I would have more times to do these things I like to do. When I go to bed earlier I don’t have much time so I don’t get to do everything.  

Secondly, I want more to spend more time with my parents. Parents stay up later and kids go to bed earlier so if kids stay up later they would spend more time with their parents. If I was allowed to stay up later I could spend more time with my parents without my sisters. It takes me a long time to fall asleep so I shouldn't just have to lie there waiting to fall asleep when I could be talking to my parents.

Thirdly, as I get older  I get more homework and have to stay up later to finish it. Also, as I get older I should stay up later because I don't need as much sleep.

In conclusion, if I was allowed to stay up later I would get more time to do the things I want to do, I would get to spend more time with my parents, and as I get older I need to stay up later because I have more homework and don't need as much sleep. These are the reasons why I should be allowed to stay up later.

Do you think I should be allowed to stay up later?

 

Reading: Paralympics 1964 vs 2020

 Goal: To compare and contrast information from videos and articles

This week for reading we have been learning about the Tokyo Paralympics in 1964 and 2020 and how they have changed. Here is my slideshow. Have you watched any of the paralympics?

 Last week for writing we had to try and persuade someone on something. My writing was about why I should be allowed another pet. Here is my writing.

I should be allowed another pet.

I should be allowed another pet these are my reasons.

Firstly it would teach responsibility. 

I would take very good care of it by feeding it, playing with it, paying for all its toys, food, bedding, bowls with my money, and clean up after it.   

Secondly, another pet would not annoy my parents. 

It could sleep in my room  and I wouldn't get upset if it chewed up my stuff , slobbered over everything  and messed up my stuff.

Thirdly, it would keep me entertained and stop me getting bored.

I would take it for walks everyday happily, I would take it to the park for a run.  

I would play with it outside everyday and would teach it tricks and how to walk backward.

Also, I could get in from the SPCA which would help the animals.

Animals are often hurt that don't have a home. It's better to adopt animals from the SPCA rather than buy one from a petshop or trademe. Pets from the SPCA have already been wormed and spayed and had their shots so that saves you money because you don't have to go and get it done at the vet because its already been done. Also, if they don’t get adopted from the SPCA they might get put down.

In conclusion, I should be allowed to have another pet because it would teach responsibility, it wouldn't annoy my parents, it would keep me entertained and stop me getting bored, and it would help the animals at the SPCA, this is why I should be allowed another pet.

Do you have  any pets and want another one ?

 

Facts about Lisa Carrington

For reading last week we had to make a slide show about Lisa Carrington. My favourite fact I found out was that she played netball as a child and wanted to be a Silver Fern (I also play netball).  On my last slide I wrote a list of questions for her. 

My favourite question was: If a kid wanted to be a kayaker when they grow up, what could they do now to get started?

Here is my slide show.
