Flying to perth | writing sample

WALT entertain 

Task to write recount of based on an experience 


I gazed at the car speeding down the road. There's no going back now i thought to myself. The pitch blackness was swallowing everything up. My legs were purple and numb. The door slides open as if we were the royal family.


 My eyes widen when I see the line of people flying Qantas. Then stare at the line of people flying Jet star and Air New Zealand. There is like no one there. Anyway time was getting wasted waiting on this long line. 

At last the long Que. was finished. Well for us at lest! They scanned our passports. Then she suddenly stopped, took a glance at Nelson and then that's when the nerves struck me.

 “He's a boy right"? She asked. “Yes why"? mum answered. “Because it says he's a female”. “oh my gosh" mum said in shock. The lady guided us to the end of the cheek out terminal thing and waited. I was so nervous. Is it me or is it getting hot in here. Thoughts were flying through my mind.  Will they let us out of the country? “Calm down" said mum.

 The lady returned.“ so we just rung Canberra and they said if we let you out of the country to Sydney than they have to let you go out of Sydney". What a relive. I can't wait to see my dad in Perth.
 


Buddy comment:
I think that this is really good and I like the way you put lots of talking in it.
I think you could work on putting more hot words in it.

Te Reo Maori

WALT: communicate a message.





Description: We have been participating in 3 different workshops around colour, compositions and fonts.  We put these skills to use in a poster sharing our knowledge about Te Reo Maori.
Why? We have noticed that our posters are too cluttered and do not communicate a  message well.
 
Task: Make a poster about Te Reo Maori.


Criteria:
Message: My message is clear and purposeful.  Everything that is on my poster relates to my message. 👍

Composition:  My poster is balanced. 👌

Font:  My font is clear, readable and suits the message.👍

Colour:  I have used 2-3 colours that are complementary.  My background choice makes the text pop!👍


Accuracy:  All of the words on my poster are spelt correctly.👍

 

Evaluation:
What are you most proud of and why?

I am proud of my colors because usually I use heaps of coulors but this time only used 3.

What challenged you the most and why?
Spelling the Maori words right and putting the macroons in the right place

Next time, what is a goal you can work towards? Not muck around finding a background and just choose a simple one.

Feedback/Feedforward: I think you did well with your colour but next time I think you should do it a bit bigger or out a bit more detail. I also think you did well in th colour and how you set your poster the backround matches the letters and the colour of the letters and the backround. Good work. from Jade Cooley!!!!

Kiwi the kiwi goes fishing.



Description: Hiwi the kiwi came to our school and tought us about fishing and what will keep you safe. 



Hey, you.  Do think you have been obeying the fishing law? I bet you aren't so listen up. 

How many of you have a life jacket? Probably about   50%   out of   100%   have them and  25% were them. So what I'm trying to say is you must be wearing a life jacket at all times. I mean what if your boat sinks and you not wearing a life jacket? You will most properly drown and if you don't well your one of the lucky ones. So just wear a life jacket. 



Every one wants a chance at fishing right? Well if you don't ho with the rules no one will.you must put the little fish back so than they can grow and you can go big and then you can catch then and eat them with your fish and chips. Oh and the big fish let them have baby's so that there will be more fish for everyone. Fish for the future.



Ok now. You might think this is the most dumbest idea ever but you should have a wet towel on your boat at all times. If you don't and you pick up a fish with your hand your bare  hands it's gonna go off and taste gross. But with a wet towel it will stay nice and fresh.


Now do we think we're allowed to fish anywhere even in the marine reserve? WRONG!! Your not allowed to fish everywhere and definitely not a marine reserve, no no no no! You are not and never will be allowed to fish in a marine reserve because that's were all the special fish are. You will get in a lot of trouble.


So remember this it can save your life and your money from paying fines. Also....
FISH FOR THE FUTURE. 
HIWI the kiwi taught me that and all of this. Hope you learnt something. Bye.
