Writing Snip it 2

WALT: Entertain ( Recount)

The room was drowsy like everyone was tongue tied. The music started then glitched out. I was last to compete. I can hear my friends voices cheering me on. I can't turn to look, I have to concentrate. The music restarted and I was NOT confident! " Go Georgia." I can hear. A little smirk appears on my face just as the music starts.

Writing Snip It

WALT entertain 

Task to write recount of based on a Noughty experience.

I grabbed a bit of her hair. Snip, Trim, Plop. Her hair's as bumpy as a messed up zig-zag. That's no hairdressing job for me. " Uh, Thanks." She mumbled while feeling how bumpy her hair is. She is NOT happy! I can see it in her face. 

Reading & Radio Station

In Nics reading group we split up into different categories and I am in the arts category. I enjoy being in this because I love to do anything to do with art. Once we got together it's our groups we then planed what we were going to do next. In the end I ended up doing a Colouring in competition with Aroha & Maia. So far we have made this video tog on the Radio station.

Shrinkage

Pippa Is in a award position were her so called friends & telling her If she wants to be friends with them then she has to snatch something.  " What should I grab?" Pippa sadly thinks. Pippa is a nice girl but she is desperately in need of friends. Lip gloss is small, Even though she doesn't like lip gloss especially cherry flavour.  It's a good size to slip into her hand. If the other girls can do it Pippa can do it. She gazes to see if anyone is watching. She walks out really scared but " Don't look scared!" She thinks to her self. The girls are not there. Pippa has been used. She is not the best at choosing friends. The shop keeper has caught her. She ashamedly walks back inside. " I think she stole the lipgloss?" The grumpy women said

Adding by going up through tens

 I was learning this strategy during Maths be  I forgot to go back & do it in the test. So I just proved this. I am now on subtract using tidy numbers.

Inquiry- With with Elly

Elly (Art)- Every Wednesday we have been learning about the inquiry process while finding out about art from around the world. The first stage of an inquiry is to gather information - ‘Get It’. First we chose a culture we wanted to find out more about and then started researching.

Sugar Writing

WALT: Inform 

Sugar

Do you have sugar in your coffee every morning? How many teaspoons do you have? To many? Well that's not good. It's even worse when your kids are having to much sugar. Sugar is bad, & when I say bad I meen really bad. And when I say really bad I meen really really bad! 

Do you know how bad sugar is? Sugar is what puts holes in your teeth, Which is later to be treated by being pulled out. How would  you feel if you were a 2 or 3 year old that had false teeth because your parents fed you too much junk food. 

You do not know how much sugar is in food & drinks until you see it being made. Trust me you do not want to see it either! Here's an example, Baked Beans. Do you eat baked beans? Good, who doesn't. Would you think baked beans has sugar in it? No, didn't thinks so. Well guess what. It has heaps of sugar in it! A typical serving has about 15g of sugar. That's terrible isn't it. Are you scared of eating baked beans now? 

Well don't worry sugar is in almost everything. Tomato sauce has heaps of sugar as well and everyone loves tomato sauce for like hot chips and stuff. Has this writing got you thinking about what you have been eating? Well to find out what is in your food just look at the back and it will say ingredients. Then find what you want to know in that column. Did you know that sugar is killing thousands of people a day & by the looks of how much sugar is in all our food you might be one if those people too when your older.

 But don't worry, If you only eat about 1 un healthy food a day that's small you will be fine but just make sure you stay healthy and don't eat much sugar! Make sure you don't feed your kids much sugar either because if they have too much they will need to get their teeth pulled out and kids can't handle having teeth pulled out unless their really tough. Remember, Make sure you don't have too much sugar.

Writing

WALT entertain 

Task to write recount of based on a Noughty experience.

 We sneek into the creative room like robbers. Nah,Honestly we just casually walked in. Anyway, " Hurry Up." I squeak. I opened the door to see Ella snatch the scissors. I checked to see if anyone was coming. " Huh." I breath. " What, Who's there?" Ella Says. "No, No ones there. I'm just kidding." She gave me a pair of scissors, That's were it all started...

" I'll cut your hair first." I say. Noise insists me to make a loud noise, it's flowing throughout my body like blood.

I grabbed a bit of her hair. Snip, Trim, Plop. Her hair's as bumpy as a messed up zig-zag. That's no hairdressing job for me. " Uh, Thanks." She mumbled while feeling how bumpy her hair is. She is NOT happy! I can see it in her face.

"Now it's your turn to cut." I struggle to say. Time passed, Very quick. This isn't normal to be doing this? I'm thinking. My hair feels short, Short like I'm bold. I'm, NOT happy.On the bright side, My hairs is straighter than hers. But it's over now and it's too late. Don't people say " It's never to late?" Yeah well don't believe them it's a lie.

Right, Where was I? Oh yes... It was done, We were out of the room. Finally. It's home time now and so far so good! No one has spotted or noticed anything.Well that was until we got home of course. Mums looks at me straight in the eye. " Who cut your hair?" She says while examining my hair. " Ella." I quickly talk back. Just as I say that Kim ( Ella's Mum) calls. They're coming around. Uh Oh. 10 minutes later... The doors creek like its a door to the end of the world.

What's Kim going to say to me? " You wicked, Worthless, Evil girl?" All she says is... " Right girls, let's go." All I can hear is the doors slamming & the seat belts clicking. Make it click.

Were are we going? I wonder. The hairdresser great. " Mum I don't want to!" "

Well you HAVE too."

As If. I think defiantly not say. I can't even imagine how bad the consequence would be? I wish I never cut my hair!

Well, It was Ella's idea. Maybe, No. Fine it was my idea. But that's the last I ever let anyone cut my hair again!
