More weekend recounts from some hard workers...

A couple more boys wrote their stories and put in a superb effort  so deserved to have their work published too. Publishing the children's work is an important part of the writing process. Sometimes we celebrate stories that have wonderful language qualities, creativity, workers who are motivated and get down their writing quickly and quietly, and those who try really hard. Also, I like to publish everyone in the class at least once a term. The children get such a lot of joy and feel so proud when their story is out in the world for everyone to read... they are real published authors! They also love to get feedback on their work, so please, leave us a message about their stories.

Junaid's english is coming along very well. This story is about some building he did with the wooden blocks:

I was eating a sandwich. It was made of wood.

By Junaid

Rory also wrote about what he'd built out of the wooden blocks:

I'm going to break the jail. I'm going to smash the jail.

To answer your questions...

Yes! Hector does want to play for the All Blacks one day.

No, Harvey did not eat the spotty fish because it was too small.

Weekend recounts

Hi everyone,

Today we wrote about something we did in the weekend.  Again, we are focusing on using our senses to help give our stories interesting details.

In the weekend I went to my Aunty's house and my Uncle's house. I smelt my Aunty's pie. I heard my Aunty talking. I smelt my Dad's fish pie.  I tasted  my Anuty's cooking. That was fun and the food was yummy, but when I tasted my Dad's fish pie I said, "Yuck, I do not like that!" I went to the park and it was really fun. I went on the roundy round and the ropes, but then I banged my head. I had a great time anyway!

In the weekend me and my family went to an aquarium and we saw an enormous fish. It was stripy. The stripes were grey and orange. I saw some dolphins. The dolphins were silver. We heard the water splashing. I loved it. Then we went home. Then we went out again. We went to the beach and we saw a crab and some slimy slugs and then we had an ice cream. The flavour of the ice cream was strawberry and chocolate. We went home and it was dinner time. For dinner we had fish and chips. Me and my brother went to bed at 7 o' clock.

Story Writing

 Kia Ora everyone,

Today we wrote recounts of our weekend.

Two people did a particularly super job at getting down to work quickly and quietly...

Well done Hector and Harvey.

In the weekend I played rugby. I got two scores and I got some lemonade and a hot dog. I got lemonade for dinner. I got a kinder suprise. It was lots of  great fun. There were lots of people.

Hector

In the weekend I went fishing. My dad caught a spotty fish. We used squid for bait. The spotty fish was white with spots. It was very slimy.

Harvey

You both did  a wonderful job of your story writing today. I like the was you both added lots of interesting details to make your story more interesting for the reader.

If you like our stories, please leave us a comment to let us know people are reading them.

Thanks
