Road Safety

 Road Safety

For reading this week we looked into road safety. We had articles to look at about road safety, and we had different activity's to finish. For the activity I did I had to read the article and find ten words to write the meaning to. I made a google drawing with my ten words and their meanings. Here is a link to the article is used. Road Safety Article.


In Another Life

Kia Ora, over this past week for Writing we made a fictional story to make our reader feel emotion. Our Learning Intention this week wast to deepen our understanding of descriptive language by creating feelings for our reader, such as empathy. We also looked into the effects of short sentences. Our story is based on the movie Marley and Me. We worked in buddy's to write this story. My buddy is Luna. Here is a link to her blog. Luna's Blog. What do you think about our story? What do you think  we could add to it? 


My heart breaks as I walk into the cold room. I see him on the table. I bend over to give him his favorite toy. I felt my knees get weak, as I saw him lying there, nearly lifeless. I can't help but burst into tears. I hear Marley crying and it breaks my heart even more. I feel colorless. I get on my knees to pray that he will live to see another day. I start to have flashbacks to the first time we played fetch. I remember that he never gave me back the bone, and ran as fast as his little legs could go, so that I could never catch him. I wish I could protect him from his fate. I feel so helpless. The nurse comes in with a needle, I want to take it from her hands, so I could have more time with my great dog. I told him that I loved him, one last time, as the nurse injected him with the end of his life. ¨I love you Marley, we will meet again in another life¨

Writing - Skydiving

Writing - Skydiving 

Today in writing we had to write a story about how we (writing class) thought skydiving would be. But with our writing we couldn't use the words skydiving or skydive so that made it a lot harder. This story was a lot of fun to write. It was also hard because I have never been skydiving before. 

Walking closer to the edge of the plane I start to get nervous. I jump out of the plane and all I can hear are my screams. At first I was so scared but I'm actually having a lot of fun. The feeling was like when I bounce really high on the trampoline. As I was getting closer to the ground I had to pull the leaver to get my parachute out. When I reach the ground I get unattached from the guy holding onto me. Running over to my friends I tell them how much fun it was. This was definitely an activity I would do again. I am really proud of myself for over coming my fear of heights.
