Procedural Writing
In Term 3 we have been learning about Procedural Writing, which involves writing the instructions for how to do things like games or science experiments.

1st step: Choose three or four people.
2nd step: Get a ball and find a Four Square court.
3rd step: Hit the ball to the other people in the game.
4th step: Try to keep the ball in the squares. 
5th step: Go to the back of the line if you hit the ball out of the square and the other people will move up a square.

Endangered Animals 
Pandas and kiwis, more and more too
Snakes and snow leopards it is true!
Some have no homes left and now are gone,
Some are alive and I must say,
I am really want
to save the day!!

Holiday Writing

My Holiday
For Christmas I got an HP Laptop! It was black and grey and I use it for Minecraft and Chrome and I even go on ClassDojo. My Dad and Emma were very impressed. I even still go on it today and I am 9yrs old. Even on ClassDojo my monster is as black as smoke. I like my laptop because I got Minecraft for free and it's not a demo! My holiday was the best. I think it was the best thing I ever did in my life... except SCHOOL!

My Holiday
On Saturday I went to ice skating with Cheyenne and we went soooo fast! It was so cool. Cheyenne and I got our face painted, then we had lunch and then we went back on the ice.
We played spin the bottle, then we went to my house and we played with my dog Niko then Cheyenne went home. That was a great day!
On Monday it was the first day of school yay! I missed school soooooooooo much because school is awesome. My class got new carpet in the holidays, it is so cool and flash!  I was so excited to see my BFF Cheyenne, she is such a good friend.

Narrative Writing
We did some narrative writing in Term 2 based on Fairytales like Jack and the Beanstalk.

Once upon a time Jack and his mum were poor and they lived in a small cottage. So mum told Jack to sell their cow for a fair price, but instead he got magic beans. His mum chucked the beans out the window and sent Jack to bed.
The next morning there was an ENORMOUS green beanstalk outside! Jack went up the beanstalk and saw a old grey, broken castle. He sneaked into the castle and there Jack saw a beautiful golden flute. He stole the golden flute but the giant was hiding and grabbed Jack and threw him into a cold underground cell.
He started to feel furious, but Jack had a plan! He grabbed some dynamite from his backpack and blew up the prison cell. Then he pulled out a demonic sword from his backpack and destroyed the giant. He found some gold in the giant's kitchen and thinks that he will finally be rich. Jack feels proud! THE END

Letter Writing
We read a book called "The Day the Crayons Quit", which was about a boy who finds his crayons have gone on strike because they are not happy with the way they are being used. For our writing our class wrote letters from some of our own toys describing some of the things they are not happy with.

Dear Caitlin,

Can you stop bringing me in the car every morning chucking on the ground when you go inside to Oscar. Also can you stop making the hole in my hand even bigger. Something you don't have to stop doing is sleeping with me in the night or taking me to sleepovers. But one thing I don't like about going to Lucy's house for sleepovers is you leaving me on the ground and the dog eating me.

From your hurt friend,
Lolo

Dear Oliver,

I would really like you to stop crashing me into the wall! If you smash me into the wall once more I'll get your BB8 toy to fly me over the fence to freedom!

Helicopter.

Dear Mikayla,

I am sick and tired of you climbing me and inviting your friends over and letting them play on me. My metal bars are breaking. I wish you would only let one friend at a time on me, and only play on me every few days.

From your bent and breaking friend,
Monkey Bars.
P.S. Please take more care of me!

Postcards
We imagined we were in a faraway land and used our senses to describe where we were in a postcard to a friend.

Dear Caitlin,
Thank you for the free trip on the ferry.
It's great!
Tessa and I can smell the salty sea,
We can feel the wind,
And we can hear the people on the ferry,
We see people's homes up on the hills.
From Lucy and Tessa

Hi Caitlin,
I'm in Paris right now and it's... just BEAUTIFUL!!
I can see the bright sun, busy roads and a lot of scurrying people.
I also see the lovely tall Eiffel Tower, ohh how beautiful it is!
I hear people who are shopping talking and having fun in these areas!
I can taste Restaurants food and fresh tea and coffee!
I can smell the fresh air and delicious food as I'm walking through the streets of Paris to my hotel from the airport, it's called the Lauren Hotel!
There are ten floors and I'm the seventh.
I've got a whole week left of my trip.
Tessa

River of Flowers Ceremony
The school went down to the river to commemorate the anniversary of the Christchurch earthquake. We wrote a recount of the trip.

Cheyenne's Sad Day
On Monday I went to the river of flowers💐.. Mum got me some flowers there. We had to sing a Kapa Haka song and then "Welcome Home". All the older boys did a haka, then we had to put flowers in the river. 
Then I did a prayer for my brother Joshua and I said thank you dear brother. Thank you for being with me even if your a ghost I will always remember you and love you. Then I started to cry so Maddison hugged me.
I felt sad for a little bit but then I got happy again because it was time for the BBQ. It was yum! Then I saw Mr Edlen, but he didn't remember my name. Then it was time to go back to school The End.😍
