100WC No.2

The new topic for the 100WC has came in so of course we have already started writing it. I have finished mine today which is an achievement for me. I think it's always gonna be hard to write only 100 words. Here is the next 100WC. Hope you like it!

The Ghost who hated light.

I was sitting in my little pink bedroom reading, with a candle. I was supposed to be asleep, but I wasn't. All of a sudden my candle flickered and went out, I looked around my room. As I was looking around I saw that my curtains were glowing, so I went over to see what was making it glow. There was a girl, she was a ghost and she said, "I used to live in this house, my room caught on fire from just one candle, I couldn't escape and no one saw me again." And she disappeared. 

My Diary Entries For My Reading.

These are my two diary entries for my reading. This is part of my ANZAC reading activities.

A diary is a record with different entries arranged by date reporting on what has happened over the course of a day.

Hope you enjoy!

                               

Day One

Dear Diary,

I was just standing there looking at all of the men suffering on the beds, blood everywhere. Men coming in every minute. I couldn’t stand it, all the injuries were serious and bloody. I hated it, but I had to save them.

and...

Day Two

Dear Diary,

Another day of men suffering. Still more and more men coming in, the building was full of sick and injured men. I couldn’t believe my eyes with some of the things I saw. So much medicine, it was difficult to help all of these people. But as I keep telling myself, I’ve got to help save these men.

Edna Pengelly's Timeline!

This week for my reading I have made a timeline for Edna Pengelly. I have learnt lots about Edna Pengelly in the past week and I have really enjoyed learning about her. The thing I found difficult was finding the facts about her. Here is the timeline for Edna Pengelly:

My Timetable for Term Two!

This term our school is focusing on being an Enthusiastic Learners, so this means Rimu class are now creating ourselves a timetable for each week at school. Here is my timetable for term two this year. I hope you like it!

100WC

My class is participating in the 100 Word Challenge, it is really difficult to write just 100 words, I wish we could write more than 100 words. Here is my story:


There was a girl who was just having a stroll in a forest and all of a sudden she found a staircase, it seemed to be leading up to the sky. She started walking up the steps and half an hour later she was at the top. 

There were lots and lots of lollies. There were people there eating lots of sweets. So the girl joined in and made loads of new friends. It was time for her to leave so she walked down the steps but then she slipped and fell and then she woke up from a dream.

Is my holiday story True or False?

True or False?

On the first day back at school in Term 2 we all had to write a story about our holiday and it had to be True or False, and here is what I wrote:

On the weekend before the holidays started, my dad, my Aunty and I drove to the Kingsford Kitchen in Rangiora for brunch, for my Grandad’s birthday. We were early so we waited outside in the carpark for my Grandad and my Grandma to come.

Finally when everybody was sitting down at the table we got our menus and looked through them to see what we could get. Obviously I got a kids menu so I didn’t have much of a choice, I wanted the pancakes but I chose the chicken burger instead because I usually have pancakes if I have brunch.

After a while we finally got our food, but I didn’t finish all of it so my dad finished it for me, but it was still very delicious, especially the fries I got with it.

After we all finished eating we all went outside and said our goodbyes and got in our cars and drove home. I enjoyed it and I definitely want to go there again and try their pancakes and maybe bring some of my friends with me. On the drive back home I saw lots of the countryside, it was beautiful. I really enjoyed spending time with my family, and I hope I can do it another time.

So do you think my story is True or do you think my story is False? Please leave what you think in the comments!
