The Base

On funday/Friday, Mum and I raced to the Base to get Nana a birthday present. We rushed into the Warehouse.
I ran to the toys to get Nana a soft toy.
I looked down the aisle. It had many soft toys and I found a panda. It was $15 but it was on special for $6.75c Mum bought her a table so, when she sits down on the couch, she can pull it out.     
We brought some wrapping paper for both presents. It had some animals on it.
After that, we walked to EB Games. I was trying to find a game but it was too much money. I looked at the Lego books. I saw one that came with a Lego person. The only way to get him was to buy the book so Mum and I bought it. I paid $15 and Mum payed $21 and the book was called, Lego Star Wars Character Encyclopedia, updated and expanded.

After that, we walked to get sushi. We saw Mrs Kerr-Bell and Mrs Ibanez there.We got sushi then sped to the car and drove home.

The Story of the Seven Stars

Long ago, there were four girls and three boys. They were brothers and sisters. They loved playing tag together. Everyday when they got home from school, they would always play tag together. Sometimes they would invite their friends to come to play too.
One blue blowing day, the kids were playing tag outside together. They were playing in a tornado. The clouds all had a fight. The wind and the clouds all went at each other. They made a BIG tornado. 
"Come inside, kids," said their mother. 
They didn't hear their mother's call. 
The storm flew the kids into the sky. The storm stopped and left the brothers and sisters in the sky. That's how the four girls and three boys became the stars of Matariki. It happens in early June each year.

Pet Surprise

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.
Pet Surprise
Everyone was jumping on the desks and screaming was going (could be heard) all over the class room.
Tom, at once, said, "Shhhhh!"
Everyone stopped at once.
He had an idea. He said, "I need paper, glue, wire and cords to attach. He put it together to get the snake to go in. He put the teacher’s ham sandwich in the cage.
The snake slithered into the cage.
