The Seven Matariki Stars

Once there lived seven young sisters who lied all the time to the people in the village and said mean things about other people.

One day, they decided to go to a kite festival. They got their kite ready and went. The challenge was who could make their kite go the highest. 
The smallest sister said her's was going to be the champion. 
The second little sister said, "No! Mine is going to be the champion." 
The third sister said, "No! I am the coolest so mine is going to be the champion." 
"No! I am the coolest. Mine is going to be the champion." "Nice try, girls. I'm going to be the champ."
"Um, no! I am the oldest so I will be the champion." 
When they started, the sky rumbled and a piece of lightning struck them and turned them into the seven stars and, now, they are called the seven Matariki stars.  
      

Lost in the Forest

Alice and Ella were sisters. They liked to explore the forest and follow the flowing rivers. Ella loved the colour red and Alice loved the colour blue.
One sunny Friday, Alice and Ella decided to go and explore the forest. on the way they found a monkey swing from branch to branch. Then they lost their way back home they looked around but they still could not find the path to the way home. Suddenly they saw the tree with the kite in it and heard their mum and dad calling them when they drank a  hot chocolate.

Pet Day at School

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.

all the kids were scrambling around the class. They were trying to find harry. But Tom had an idea. He whispered. To the class and said ''we will gather around the snake''. so the whole class gathered around the snake and Tom grabbed Harry and he put his snake in his backpack and ran home and put the snake in the cage and ran back to school with harry.

the magic shows

We got to have a Catholic Schools Day, so two magicians came to our school. One was called Jonathan and the other was called El Gregoe. They were friends.

The first magic trick was some tomato sauce in a bag. Lavinia was the volunteer to help do the magic with Jonathan. He made it disappear and come back again when she had waved a pen and said the magic word. 

My favourite part of the show was the floating man instead of floating women. My mouth was opening because it was amazing. He was floating and I loved it so much. It was inspiring to me and the whole school loved it. We were amazed and it was the best day at school in my life. I want to be a magician one day.    

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 house because they were scared of getting arrested like Jesus but they saw flames on their heads and they heard the wind swishing through the air. The Holy Spirit had come to help them spread the Good News.

This day was called Pentecost. It was the birth of the Church.

mothers day

A long time ago, my mum and I went to the Warehouse at the Base because we wanted to buy some Christmas presents.
First, Mum parked the sparkly silver car then we got out and walked to the Warehouse.
I saw loads of  toys and clothes there. We went to the toy section and we got Emily a ginger and white talking dog. I got a gray  and white cat. 
I love my mum more then anything. She is nice to me and I love her so much.
