My Enemy from the Cat's point of View

Cameron: My enemy is very clever because it makes holes in the floors. It is really smelly and horrifying. He lives in the mat and wakes up at daytime. He runs fast like a jet plane. He has got big sharp claws and he gets rotten food.

Libby: My enemy is a horrifying little beast that steals my food and milk. It lives in a little hole behind the shower. I try to get him when he is asleep in his hole behind the shower. He has rotten cheese on his furry hair. He has black eyes and a wet little nose.

Samara: My enemy is hairy and he has sharp teeth with dirty grey fur. He makes holes in the walls and that makes me furious! He also steals my cheese.

Ivy: My enemy is a disgusting little creature, it runs around our bench like a gust of wind. His fur is moldy with brown strips. Tonight I'm going to get him! He steals all of our clean cheese. The creature is evil, he leaves footsteps in my bowl. I hate the little nasty beast. I’ll have him for dinner tonight!

Ramona: My enemy is creepy and scary and very stinky. He also steals my delicious food. He lives in this hole that I couldn’t fit in. He is a creature that sneaks around at night and in the morning. He looks terribly ugly and his face is disgusting.

Noami's Water Cycle Story

"Ice Cream Day"

Tsunami

Tsunamis can cause lots of damage everywhere.

Tsunamis happen when two plates smash together under the ocean. This causes a large earthquake.

After that, the Tsunami gets bigger and bigger when it gets closer to shore.

How A Tsunami is Formed.

A tsunami creates lots and lots of damage.

An earthquake is caused by large plates underground which smash together to make a massive earthquake. The pressure from the earthquake forms teeny waves in the deep ocean. Soon as the tsunami gets close to shore it forms a large wave.

An amazing fact is that a tsunami can move a thousand kilometres a hour.

A tsunami creates extensive damage to towns and cities,

Invitation To Travel to Mars

Invitation to Mars 

Dear Sarah and Reilly,

I don’t expect you will come to Mars, but I’m inviting you to go to Mars.

You will need to bring Soda because I have heard that Mars’s temperature is 2896 degrees. Also you will need a lava lamp because it gets rather dark when the stars are not around. I hope you bring your teddy bear because it gets quite lonely when the aliens don’t talk to you.
I expect to see giant nits and bacon strips.

The launch time is at 3.00pm and the date is on Sunday. Please can you R.S.V.P me by Saturday. 

Thanks Isobel

Māui and Makuika

As a part of our writing programme, we had to take a small part of the legend and retell in our ownwords.

Here is James’ interpretation of a part of the legend

Māui was almost to the entrance of the cave. He stopped and looked around. There was a deep creepy looking cave, Māui walked in.

Māui’s eyes were big as saucers , as he tried to guide himself in the dark. Suddenly he saw some fire and he knew it was Makuika. Makuika was an old and skinny lady. Her toenails and fingernails were made of fire.

Māui  said, I’m here for some fire for my village!!!”

Although the cave was smoky and dusty Māui could see the wrinkle on the old lady face tighten.

“I came here to borrow some of your fire fingernails”, demanded Māui in a madding voice....

Postcard From Antarctica

Dear Mum and Dad,


I am at Antarctica for a holiday, so I can have some peace and quiet because my sister always annoys me. Can you help me I am stuck on an enormous iceberg? Also I am getting sick of eating raw penguins. I have stopped eating raw penguins and I am starving. I tried floating to the shore. On my way back to the shore I saw a colossal squid and an Orca. When I was on shore I saw Emperor penguins, they were laying eggs. Then I went to Scott Base. I miss you all and I will be home soon.

Butterflies- Information Report

Butterflies are insects that fly. The butterflies laid eggs. The eggs turned into caterpillars. They eat leaves to get fat. Then they turn into a chrysalis. When they hatch they turn into a butterfly.

Character Description

Character Description.

I rowed onto the rocky beach.


When suddenly I heard a scary screeching noise. Just then the ground started to shake. A huge hairy monster came out of the forest and said, “  I’m  so hungry I want to eat you up”.


It had razor sharp teeth made of metal. It’s breath smelt like the flesh blood and bones. It’s eyes were gleaming yellow. It had four hands with boxing gloves on them and four legs.

My Beautiful hide-out home on Storybird

What is was it?

Room2 we set a challenge of writing about a cream bun. They weren’t able to informed the reader that it was about a cream bun but hopefully that the reader might guess that it maybe a cream bun by the clues given in their writing. A further instruction was that students had to hunt the cream bun like an animal.



I was standing there looking at it. I smelt it’s chocolate odour. It looked at me and it’s eye’s were rolling.

I sneaked up to it and hid behind the bench. I was worried that if I put my hand out to grab it, it would run away. However it just sat there doing nothing.

I grabbed it. I took a bite of it. It tasted so delicious!!! I decided to munch it all up.

Shark Dive- Writing

We watch the above video about a Shark Dive. We use our imagination as if we were diving with the sharks. Our writing focus was on using more descriptive words to create more of a picture for the reader.'

Also we wanted to use different connectives to replace 'then".

Enjoy our recounts of our Shark Dives.

Chloe -

I was sitting on the boat cuddling my mum and chewing my nails. Next, I jumped into the water with my sister.

The first thing I saw was a school of black stripy fish. The ocean was dark and deep. I was swimming around with my sister there were lots of things in the sea. Then I saw a enormous shadow. Suddenly, my sister shouted, " Its a shark". My sister and I were terrified, so we swum up to the boat . Our dad helped us up and we were safe.Then the shark haunted us for ever.

Bella--

I was dying to get in. I had to jump into the dark ocean but when I hit the water, it was freezing. I was shivering all over. When the bubbles cleared I saw a school of fish. Suddenly, I saw a dark shadow lurking in the distance. It came closer and closer, and right up to me. AAAAAhhhh!!!!

I was terrified!!! I started to swim to the surface but the shark bit my hand. I was screaming. It was the scariest thing I did. I swum up to the surface and climbed into the boat . I bandage my hand.

Writing Activity " Pass it On"

We had our first attempt to play " Pass it On"

The objective of this activity is to write a narrative with 5 different authors. Each author has to write a particular part of the story within 2 minutes. Each time the author is changed the old author has only 20 seconds to explain what they wrote to the new author.

Here are the roles for each author

1. Create the setting and characters
2. Build upon the characters
3. Tell a problem
4. Inform the solution
5. Provide an ending

We voted for the team that had the most creativity story with the elements of a narrative in their story.

Here is the Winner

On a sunny day the ice cream guy went to the circus to sell his ice-creams. An evil clown was laughing at the ice-cream guy. The ice-cream guy sold an ice-cream to the evil clown. The evil clown couldn't stop laughing. Then he started to cry . He began hitting people because he was so happy.

The clown went looking around a park to find the ice-cream man who sold him the ice -cream. The man was right in front of the clown. The clown was so angry at the ice cream guy for he had sold him a raspberry ice-cream.

Futuristic Narrative- Whole class Writing.

Visitor From Outer Space

There was a glint in the sky as the clouds parted, as a silver bullet spaceship zoomed towards earth. The sonic boom woke me from my dreaming.Even Mr Thurlow stopped mumbling about narratives. Affront of Room 2 was covered in steam with the occasional sparks flying out from the steam cloud. There was a lot hissing and high pitch screaming.

Mr Thurlow just froze, except he was dribbling from his corner of his mouth. As I rushed towards the window I could see a dark shadow appearing for the space craft. It stood on the burnt grass and started coming towards me.

The aliens looked like green little monsters with antennae on it's head.They had wide googly-red eyes and creaky moaning voices. When the aliens moved, they moved on three gooey legs. When the aliens came closer they smelt revolting like pizza dipped in the sea.(These Ideas of the alien are Kalani's originally)
