Writing - Persuasive Writing - Term 3 Week 3

 Hello Readers,

We are going to write a speech about the 16 SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) We got given the opportunity to pick the first one to four Goals which are: one no poverty, two zero Hunger, three good health and well-being and four quality education. I picked two zero Hunger. I am going to share Information about Hunger and some rhetorical questions I can use in my speech.

Here is my information about hunger:

FAO says that 25 000 people are dying of hunger and poverty every day That's almost everyone in Timaru.

There is enough food for everyone in the world but people are still dying.

Here are my rhetorical questions:

So, Do you want to live a healthy life?

Why are people dying from hunger when there is enough food for everyone in the world?

If you know any facts about hunger or stuff like this, Please let me know in the comments bellow.

Farewell!

Writing - Hansel and Gretel - Week 1 - Term 3

Hello Friends!

Here is my Writing Task

Smell	The great smell drifted off the sweet cooke house and caught the attention of Hansel and Gretel. The wonderful scent of the house traveled through the forest and met Hansel and Gretel. The sweet scent of the candy glided passed the tall trees and stopped and Gretel and Hansel noses. Their eyes widened with wonder.
Wait	They crouched down beside a bush and froze, Waiting in silence. They silently hid behind the bush examining the strange house. They were almost invisible when they were hidden in the bushes.
Similes	The forest was a dark muddy place that stretched as far as the eye could see. The old trees were as tall as a skyscraper. Long vines wrapped around the trees and plants around Hansel and Gretel.

I Really do hope you like it.

I you have any questions or thoughts please share then in the comment section.

For now goodbye!

Writing Week 8

Hi

This is a story that I have wrote.

My D.L.O:

STORM

ZAP! ''Whoa'' screams Will as he slipped and fell on the hard stone floor. ''Are you ok? That storm really does not want to leave!'' says Nick. ''yeah, I'm good'' answers Will. Nick glanced through the window and at the storm, in the corner of his eye was a A dark shadow. The mysterious shadow was running towards a mountain then it disappeared. ''Did you see that?'' yells Nick as he placed his hands on the window. Will got up from the floor ''see what?'' he said as he rushed over. The shadow appeared again ''Over there!'' he pointed to a shadow on the mountain in the distance. ZAP! the lightning struck again they both looked at the mountain where the shadow one was. ''It's gone'' said Will. They were standing there with their mouths wide open. Nick ran Down stairs and into a big dark room. ''Nick, are you doing what I think you're doing?'' asked Will as he followed ''Well what are you thinking about? I'm just gonna save that well . . I don't know what it is, from that storm!'' replied Nick. Nick turned the lights. in the room there was a massive door-like strusher and two objects with a black soft cloth on top of both of them. ''Which one?'' asked Will ''How about the Giant one?'' suggested Nick ''Alright!'' yelled Will as he yanked the black soft sheet off the object. Underneath appeared a massive truck with really Thick wheels the size of a regular car! Nick jumped in and grabbed the leather wheel ''Come on Will!'' called Nick. Will hoped on. Will pressed a button then there was a loud noise. The giant door opened and Nick raced through the door and into the storm. ''UP THERE!''said Will pointing up to the mountain. The engine was roaring like a lion in a zoo. ''HERE WE GO!'' yelled Nick as he stomped on the pedal. They were speeding up the mountain, Well they were speeding up the mountain when the engine had started to make some odd noises. BONK! CLANK! RATTLE! ''Um . . Nick? . . I think something is wrong with the engine'' ''yeah'' said Nick. They started to slowly go backwards. ''Why are you going backwards'' asked Will. Nick was confused ''I'm not'' he said. '' WHAT DO YOU MEAN?!? yelled Will in terror. Then they went faster and faster and the ground became full of lumps and bumps. ''AHHHH!!!'' They both screamed as they were bouncing like bouncy balls all throughout the car. They had finally come to a standstill. With the last of Will's energy he opened the door and rolled out onto the cold muddy floor. Nick rolled out with his hands on his head. He was walking but just not straight. ''I'm dizzy'' he said. ''Nick, I don't remember you wearing dark clothes'' said Will ''What? . . No you're wearing that black outfit'' said Nick. Then an unknown voice whispered from the bushes. ''What are you doing here? it to dangerous!'' ''AHHH a ghost!'' screamed Will. ''AHHH three ghosts!!'' called Nick. ''It's just one ghost Nick!'' said Will as he got up the muddy dirt.

To be continued. . . . .

Writing Week 9 Term 2

Hi

In this Writing WS (Workshop) we had to make a 300 word short story which induces Show not tell. 

Writing Goal: Use “show not tell” when appropriate.

My D.L.O (digital learning object) is here.

The forbidden tower

I woke up to the deafening sound of thunder. It was the middle of the night. I was half asleep when I pecked out the window and saw a shadow soaring through the dark gloomy night. I tried to keep my eyes open, but I had only slept for a couple of hours. I slowly walked to my bed and flopped on top of it. Hours later, The bright sunlight shone on my face. I slowly opened my eyes. I saw a crow sitting outside the window, waiting there as if it was watching me through the whole night. I tried to hide under the covers. I pinched myself to see if I was still dreaming but I wasn't. I swung my legs out of bed and stood up. The black feathered bird flew into the distance where it landed on a dead tree. Beside the tree was an old tilting tower that looked like it was about to collapse. ''wow! this is great, I'm going to explore that'' I said as I dashed down stairs to get my backpack and a flashlight. I left the house. I skipped along a stone path with my chin up. Soon later, everything felt a little dark and gloomy but the crumbling house was a few meters away. ''Was I already there?'' I thought to myself. I kneeled down and grabbed my flashlight. When I had looked up the house was right in front of me. I jumped up with my mouth wide open.

''w w-what?'' I yelled at that same moment the door flung open. I grabbed a sharp stick and pointed it to the door of the house. I slowly crawled in. My hands were shaking with fear as I tiptoed deeper into the dark house. ''h-hello um, I anyone t-there?'' a crow flew in from a shattered window in the roof and landed on my stick. I held a dark stone necklace. I dropped it on my hand then flew back to the roof. ''Take it and go!'' it squawked in a deep voice. I instantly ran back home and Yelling ''Help me!!'' I opened the door, went in and locked every single thing possible. I keeped the necklace ever since.

THE END

Question: Do you know how to do this?

Tom clenched his fists until the knuckles were white. He sighed deeply, stood up and stormed toward the door without saying another word. He opened the door and slammed it behind him. His ten teammates sat staring at each other in stunned silence.

I think tom is a boy because it says ''Tom clenched his'' I think tom is strong because ''slammed the door''. I think tom is feeling angry because ''He opened the door and slammed it behind him''.  I think tom is inside because there was a door.

Hannah’s eyes grew as big as saucers and she began to clap her tiny hands together. As soon as the present was within reach, she grabbed it and began ripping off the paper. She was giggling and squealing with delight.

I think Hannah is a girl because it says ''she began to clap her tiny hands together'' I think Hannah is amazed because it says ''Hannah’s eyes grew as big'' and ''she began to clap'' I think Hannah is feeling happy because it says ''She was giggling and squealing with delight'' I think under a Christmas tree because it says ''she grabbed it and began ripping off the paper''

Fred hobbled toward the counter. He reached into his pocket and with a shaking hand pulled out his old leather wallet. As he got his money out, he noticed the picture of his wife Molly. All of a sudden his eyes became sad and after paying for his chocolate he quickly put his wallet back into his pocket. Thanking the shop assistant he left the shop and headed home for a lonely night in front of the television.

I think Fred is a boy because it says ''He reached into his pocket'' I think Fred is a nice person because he thanked the shop assistant before leaving. I think Fred sad because he lost his wife. I think Fred is in a shop because there was a shop assistant.
