We are learning to write instructions

How to arrive at school

It is a nice sunny day and you have arrived at school. But what will be your next step?

Step one. Go inside. To go inside you need to open the door into the hallway. When you are inside, walk quietly.

Step two. Walk to the cloak bay. You need to take off your bag and hang your bag on your hook.

Step three. Hang your bag quietly and then walk to your classroom and quietly go inside.

Step four. Do not make noise so that the people who are doing their work will not be disturbed. Listen to the teachers instructions.

If you follow there instructions you will be the best kid in the whole school.

ANZAC writing

We have been learning about the soldiers from World War 1, and what it was like for them in the war. Today we wrote 'friendly letters' to our families pretending to be ANZAZ soldiers.

Dear Aunty Phoenix
How are you? I am fin, but I am very scared because I'm in the war fighting for New Zealand. There are lots of soldiers. I am in Gallipoli, which is in Turkey. The ground is very muddy like chocolate, and it's slippery like melting ice. My khaki uniform is very dirty. My feet feel like ice blocks. I can hear missiles booming very loud.
From your niece,
Sierra

Dear Stephen,
How are things going back there in our home town? Things are not going very well here in Gallipoli, Turkey. I have got a feeling that the war should never have started. there are a lot of adversaries and Allies at Gallipoli. The is barely any living grass. It is so depressing, but also good because we are saving New Zealand.
Your friend,
Callum

We have been learning to write a collaborative story. We all helped to write this by sharing a document on the google drive.

The Terribly Terrific T Rex.

Once upon a time there was a dinosaur called T Rex. T Rex was very colourful and he had teeth as sharp as sharks teeth. T Rex had scales all over his body, and his scales were very rough.

One day T Rex got chased by an Ankylosaurus. He ran up a tree to escape and the Ankylosaurus tried to push over the tree by whacking it with his bony tail. T Rex was stuck! He yelled out “help!”.

All of a sudden there was a big loud thump. It was coming closer and closer crashing through the trees. It was the Ankylosaurus’ Mum. She was the tallest dinosaur in the world. She growled at the Ankylosaurus and dragged him off home wrapped up tight in her tail.

The TRex was so happy. He looked up and saw his T Rex Dad leaning over him. He sprang out of the tree and hugged his dad.

And that is how T Rex escaped from the Anylosaurus.
