Easter Celebration

WALT... Use the correct structure for a recount. This week for writing we have been writing recounts. I enjoyed doing this becuase I got to write about the holidays. Next time I will add more descriptive words.

One the first week of the holidays my family invited over some friends for Easter, at our house.

First one family of friends arrived. They had children so we went to a park. The park was close so we just walked there. When we reached the park we went one the slide and swings. We continued to play on the playground until we decided that we would go back to the house.

A couple of minutes after we got to the house, one of my dad’s friends and his son came. So we decided to eat the pizza and some chocolate eggs. Once we were finished eating the adults talked at the table while we played naughts and crosses in the living room.

Then about an hour later another two people arrived, while the other two families left because they were tired and wanted to leave. After they left I went to go and watch Netflix because there was nothing else to do.

I enjoyed having people over at our house because we usually don’t have many guests. Though when the people it got a bit boring

Freda the Dog

Based on ‘The ANZAC Puppy’ by Peter Millett and Trish Bowles

WALT Write a flashback from a different perspective and use show not tell

I enjoyed writing this because we got to imagine what it was like at war and writ about it. Next time I will add more descriptive words

At war it was misty and you could see my breath in the air. Every few seconds you could hear and feel crashes and bangs of the explosions. Every time they were set off it would leave a ringing noise in my ear. I would jump every time I heard one. I felt home sick and no matter how long you were there you would never get used to it.

Down in the trenches I was with one of the few people who would keep me company, my dog Freda. Though the ground was muddy and wet we were both one our knees. We were slowly sneaking around looking out for bombs and bullets. This was one of the many things I hated about war. No matter what happened though I just had to get Freda back home safely.

Leadership Creature

This term we have been learning about leadership. After learning about leadership we had to create a creature with 8 characteristics of a leader and a DLO for it. I enjoyed doing this because we got to use clay. Next time I will make some of the features more visible.
