the way to the Museum

Wow!  my class was going to the museum on Tuesday. I was excited Ella's mum drove me there. We investigated everywhere. I went to the jail there was a locked door and a little circle window I had a little peek and...... ahhhhh!  I screamed there was a manikin in the locked door. There was another door but this door was unlocked with no manikin in it. I went in with Ella, Jacinta  Bianca and me. Jacinta's nanny shut the door. Then she opened it again. There was a wooden  thing outside I put my head in and hands they tried to shut the top part but I was too short so we went somewhere else. We went to the church there was a small tiny piano there was an opening door in there but we weren't allowed in there. beside how you can get in the church there was an alter and uncomfortable wooden chairs and a hole machine on a table. We rushed thrilled the school. We entered the room. There was   a monocool. finally we had to go home we jumped in the cars and ride home. I was happy too go there. My favourite part was going to the Jail.

Paterson Park

Chit! Chat! The children were talking like birds, waiting for Sally to say  Karakia.
Yesterday we walked to the park. I waited for Mrs Thomson to cross the road with me. I heard the whispering wind speaking to me. Sh!  Sh! It shook the tree with its might. When we saw Paterson Park, we walked to the court filled with ice. We sat on the cold court.        
We saw a lady. She had a powerful megaphone, then she talked into it.
Sally talked for a while, then it was time to have a break.
I was so excited to get ready for the game. Finally, it was time have my game.
I  jumped over to Matua Tom getting ready to tumble down. First, I versed Waipa School. I was excited. My body shivered with butterflies  going around my tummy. The game started. The whistle blew. The game started, so we started. Porter had the ball.  He threw it to me. I jumped to get it, but, sadly, it brushed my hair and jammed the green grass. The whistle blew. It was time to pass the ball over to the other team.

Brylie 28/7/16 Ice Age five

One cloudy Friday, Porter and I wanted to watch different movies.

Porter wanted to watch Ice Age Five   I wanted to watch the BFG. But we were not allowed too because Waylon was with us. Because it could scare him.

We had to watch Ice Age Five. We first had to pick up Sabriye and Nia. They were at our cousin's house because Mum was in Hawaii. We were like a pack of wild pigs ready to go to the movies. We past some shops. Finally we were at the Base.   We took off our seat belts. I was  excited Havana brought some money because Havana wanted to buy some make up. Dad wanted to buy something for Mum because Mum  was coming back home on Friday. I told Havana a little lie because I  could not wait. I told her come on Havana were going now’ she walked to Dad said to why? Do we have to go now. We gave the our tickets so we could go into the Movie. We had seven people with us. The Lady gave us toys.  I had Mr Messy I had a book of him and Little Miss Bossy. Sabriye had one  it was called  little Miss Stubborn.  Tayla swapped with Sabriye Tayla had Mr Perfact.  I smelt the scrumptious   popcorn.  We had no food  because the food was  expensive. We sat down on a seat. The Movie  started. Some parts, were so funny that I laughed. When the Movie, was done we ran out. Porter threw his  toy then a little  girl picked it up. She gave it back. I gave her Little Miss Bossy. I felt good. We walked to the car. We felt hungry so we drove  to Domino's  for dinner it was delicious.  When we had finished eating, we took Tayla back home. Then we drove back home and brushed our teeth, read books then off to sleep.

Matariki

The Legend of Matariki

  Long long ago, there were three brothers and four girls. They liked  Matariki because they liked to lie to people. 

One sunny Saturday, they lied to heaps of people, by saying, "We're better then you."  

Havana said happy birthday and she rushed into the fancy kitchen to grab the scrumptious and colourful cake. Nia pulled them by their hair. 

All of the naughty kids said, "Hi!" 

Mr Teddy Bear said, "Seven of you must leave." 

They would do that every day and night. They shouted. Havana had an idea. 

They huddled up then Havana said, "Let's pull his pants,"  so they followed her plan. 

Sabriye said, "However will we do that!" 

"Yeah!" shouted Brylie and Porter. 

Waylon screeched, "I love to bite so you'd better be scared, Teddy Bear." 

He said, "I must warn you." 

Grason said, "Chit chat chit."

Ted left. 

The second day, it was foggy outside. 

Brylie said, "Where is everyone?" 

Right at that moment, a flash of light struck. A net flung onto them. The naughty kids were scared. 

"Don't lie or you will end badly!" yelled Mr Teddy Bear. "Mr Teddy Bear, please don't hurt us!" the poor kids said. He twisted and twisted and threw the seven of them up into the sky. 

"Hooray!" the people cheered. 

All of the villagers said, "Thank you, Mr Teddy Bear." 

He said, "You're welcome." 

That night, they celebrated the day called Matariki. You see them late May and early June.       

July and May

May and July were best brothers. They loved walking in the forest and hearing the birds sing and play in the flowing rivers. They loved to smell the wild flowers.
One beautiful morning July and May told their Mum if they could have a walk. There Mum, said yes but don't get off the path. Okay they said they ran off with excitement. They walked in the forest they heard a buzz! they followed a butterfly then they played in the smashing river.

Mum asked if they want hot soup and hot chocolate they said yes please. That night they told there mum and dad jokes. July

Pet Day

WALT make up a story about a Pet Day problem.

WWBSWW:

• Begin with an orientation to tell the reader who, did what, where and when.

“Pet Day will be on Friday,” Miss Anderson, Tom’s teacher, announced to the class on Monday. “Bring your pet to school and tell us about it, then we will have a pet parade.”

Tom was so excited. He would be able to bring Harry to school to 

show everyone.

• Write the events leading up to the problem.

At the end of the day, he ran all the way home to get his pet ready for Friday.

He loved Harry and had wanted to show his friends for a long time, but his mum and dad had told him that Harry must never leave the house; but, now, his

teacher had given him permission to bring it to school.

Smilingly, he polished Harry’s green silky skin, talking to it with his friendly voice. “You’re allowed to come to school, Harry. You can meet my friends and my friends can meet you.”

As soon as Friday came around, Harry carefully took Harry out of its cage and placed him into his black backpack. He couldn’t wait to get to school, so he ran

all the way.

When the bell rang, he and the rest of the class stepped into the 

classroom.

• Write the problem.

Tom opened his backpack to show his friends what he had brought to school for Pet Day.

“It’s a green, slippery, slimey …...................” he said slowly. “Snake!” he 

shouted.

“Tom Denver, give me that thing right now!” Miss Anderson 

commanded.

Tom opened his hand to pass it over, but, at that moment, naughty Billy Burton lunged to grab it himself. He bumped Tom’s shoulder and Tom hurtled forward, the snake flying out of his hand to the back of the classroom.

“Eeeeeee! Where is it?” squealed Miss Anderson.

Chaos threatened in Room 4.  Children jumped up and ran around, screeching

their lungs out and pushing over chairs and desks, trying to find Tom’s snake.

• Write the events to tell your readers how the problem was solved.

Tom had an idea. He gathered some things around the class. He got scissors, cords to tie, glue, paper, wire and the teacher’s lunch. He set up the bits and pieces into a trap.

All of the kids ran on their chairs. They started to be quiet and still.

The snake slithered on the carpet and followed the track of the ham sandwich. He nibbled the sandwich.

Tom sneaked. He pulled the cord - bang!

Miss Anderson said, “Never bring that snake!”

“Ok,” said Tom.     

Well done, Brylie.   

-      Can you think of better word than got?

-      Can you think of a better way of telling us how the children got onto their chairs?

-      Begin a new paragraph each time a different character does something.

The Magic Show

Johnathan was a  magician. He stomped into the hall. He swallowed a balloon. It was impossible. My eyes went on fire. We cheered and, when he opened his wallet, it was on fire.
When he told Riley that he could make a balloon for her, he said anything and she said a giraffe. He did the opposite so, instead of doing a giraffe, he did a dog. 
After that, he did card tricks and he said, "Who likes card tricks?"
We all said, "Me!" in excitement and he said, "Sorry, we're not doing a card show today."
We all said, "Oh," but he was doing it. 
Next, it was time for Johnathan to go. We clapped and cheered. We said a thank you and we were glad to see the magic show.  
We all had to get out of the hall. We we eat after that we  played busted i was in. The bell ringed RING! RING! we all lined up  out of the hall. Is this part of the Magic Show? Leave it out.
The title of the next show was called YOU GOT THE POWER. My favourite part was when El Gregoe was flying. That was impossible. My eyes were like fire. 
when the bell ringed RING! RING! we all had to go but we our teacher read us a book it was called the present for Christmas  when that finished. We drove to the super market and my Mum got food for dinner and got milk then we drove back home. Is this part of the Magic Show? Leave it out. 

The Birthday of the Church

The Church is people spreading the Good News about Jesus.

Before Pentecost,  the followers of Jesus were hiding  in their houses because Jesus got arrested and they didn’t want to be. They  saw flames on their heads. They felt wind in the air then they got  courage from the Holy Spirit to spread  the Good News.

The Holy Spirit helped the the helpers spread the Good News of Jesus. This was the day of Pentecost. This was the beginning of the Church, the Church's birthday.

Hanging out with my mum

My mum and I went to a cafe because there was no food at my house.
Mum picked up the keys and we drove off. We parked the car. 
When we got out of the car, it was foggy outside. Across the road, there was mini golf.
We walked into the cafe. Mum ordered  chips and sweet chilli sauce. I ordered  pancakes and Milo with marshmallows. 
When we had finished, we walked back outside and opened the door. We sat down and drove back home. My mum is the loveliest person I have ever met. 
My favourite part was when I was eating with my Mum.

The Hamilton Zoo

Be quiet! The tiger  was running with Sabriye. Whenever  the tiger ran, it would jump on the glass,  walking  on two legs

Because we  had filled the marble jar,
Room 4's teacher decided  to take us to Hamilton  Zoo to find out  about  the animals and if the zoo is a good place  for animals.

Waylon giggled and giggled. The colours of  the tiger  are black and white and orange. There  was  a  tv that we could  control  so we could see  the tigers. I  wasn't  allowed  to touch  the buttons but other people were. I wasn't allowed to because I would break it.  I sneaked  to do it. The tiger had four long legs. He was walking with them.  The place looked like the wild. There were three tigers. One was the mum and the others were twins. They were big tigers. They were very stripy. They would always sneak to jump on the glass.  The tiger  tried to break out.  They were  cheeky. A tiger wanted a drink . There was a pond. It was licking the water.
