Poem

We have been writing poems about  Christmas here is my poem.

Christmas tree

In Team Awa we sketched a Christmas tree and this is how to do it.

1.  We sketched our Christmas tree 

2.  As we were drawing our trees we were thinking why it made us happy. 3.  We made a poem with our words from the sketch. 4. We cut out our Christmas tree then glued it on our poem.Here is my work. I hope you like it:

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 my capital letters.

I need to improve on some of my spelling.

Here is my writing about Animal Town.

One day I woke up and I went to tell my mum I was in the shed.  “Wake up the girls” said mum

“Ok.”

When we woke the girls up, we had breakfast and it was Weet-bix . I had 4 weet-bix and my sisters had 2.

Then we went for a ride on a plane.

When we were on the plane we ordered some food. When we were finished the food we went to sleep then the pilot called out Animal town and we all woke up and got off the plane.

We went to see the meerkats. When we got to their cage, we saw the meerkats they were so fluffy, fluffy as a teddy bear,  cloud, and I don't know, maybe just a meerkat. I just wanted to squeeze it.

The next animal was a lion. “ahhhhh!” I said the lion freaked me out.  It had a yellow beard, so fluffy.

The next animal we went and saw and I hoped it was a… KOALA THEY’RE MY FAVOURITE.

Hot air balloon

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 my writing because I feel like I am going in a real balloon. I need to improve on full stops.

One morning I woke up and ate breakfast as quick as I could because it was my big day. It was not Monday
or any ordinary day, it was my hot air balloon race day. The colours of my balloon were blue and green
blended in. I brought with me my whole family. I packed 3 chip packets, 6 water bottles and some kind of
dry food. When we got there someone shouted out, “it is time for the race to begin!” So we got ready.
“Ready, set, go!” We race to the sky first. When we got up there the clouds felt soft like a teddy bear.  
1 minute later we had some chips.

Then we talked, “Mum are we going to win?”

“Maybe, only if we do not give up.”

Later in the morning I felt quite sick. I also did not know how high I was in the sky.

Next morning I was looking around, someone else was in the lead. He shouted, “I'm in the lead.”
Next time we might win. “Yeah,” I shouted. “But we won't,” said mum, “if we don't stop them from getting
in front of us again.” Next night we were in the lead. “Yeah yeah yeah, we win!” The whole crowd shouted
for us. We went home and instead of putting our trophy that we got on the shelf, we had ice cream in it in
the hot air balloon.  

The Pou

As part of our writing programme we have been doing environmental writing. We had to sketch an object and as we were sketching we wrote down thoughts that we had. Then we wrote our thoughts down  as a poem. We cut out the sketch and added this to our writing.
