Success Criteria:I know I am successful when I can write a recount about my time with grandma.

When did you had a happy time with your grandma?

It all started when my family and I decided to visit my grandma in my dad's side. When we arrived, my grandma and I walked by the beach and we talked. We also sang songs that she liked. It took me awhile to learn the songs but it was actually fun learning new things. I liked it a lot.

After that we built a sand castle using an empty coke bottle. We just cut off the top part and added sand on the bottom piece. We decorated it with sea shells and sticks. It was amazing with the white and purple sea shells. Then we sat next to it and talked. 

We did many more cool things but it was time to leave. I said "bye" to my grandma and left.

Do we need to celebrate Mission day or not? - By Aleenah

Do we need to celebrate Mission day or not?

Learning Intention:We are learning to write a Persuasive writing.

Success Criteria:I know I am successful when I can persuade someone to believe my point of view.

I definitely agree that we should celebrate Mission day because we have loads of fun. You may think that we are wasting money but we are actually helping other children. We fund raise and we donated it to the "Holy Angels Orphanage" in India.

We play games and we win prizes. We also learn how to persuade people to visit each class activity. Every student had a turn to look after the money that we raised, and give it to the person who is in charge in the office.

I had so much fun that I want it to happen everyday.

Hello! My name is Aleenah and I moved to New Zealand last year. I study at a school in Panmure. I was born in the month of March in the Philippines. I have 3 friends Asinate, Brielle and Deva. I love to play the Sims and Minecraft. My favourite sport is badminton . I love eating noodles and churros and I hate eating vegetables.

I  hate maths . Sometimes I don't like my siblings because they don't share their things to me. Colouring is my least favourite thing to do. Sometimes I don't like playing soccer because I keep fooling around and it hurts my feelings.

Success Criteria: know I am successful when I can write a narrative story using capital letters and full stops correctly in a paragraph form.

Fortune was very shy. He didn't have any rat friends, he even got bullied because of his shyness. 

One day Fortune was out in the garden looking for something to play with, when he heard a strange sound outside the fence. Fortune crept to the fence and peeked through a small hole. He saw a rat trapped inside a cage and 2 rats that looked like they were guarding the cage. Fortune thought he would save that rat.

Fortune waited until sundown. He plan to save the trapped rat. Fortune had a costume that looked exactly like what the other guards wore. He walked towards the guards and told them he was their boss. He asked for the keys and the guard rats trusted him. Fortune waited for the bad rats to leave. He opened the cage and let the rat out. Fortune quickly called the rat police. 
The mean, stinky rats were captured.

The following day Fortune became popular because he saved a famous rat. Fortune was happy and he was not a shy rat anymore.

Learning Intention:We are learning to write a narrative story.

Success Criteria: I know I am successful when I can write a narrative story using capital letters and full stops correctly and in paragraph form.

Isabelle was a fat, grey hippo. Isabelle loves dancing. Every time her parents were not at the river she would dance her heart out.

One evening Isabelle cannot sleep. She received a letter from Birdie the mail bird. She opened the letter but before she could read any words, a group of people injected her with a sleeping drug. She fell down and passed out. The group dragged Isabelle behind an enormous tree.  

Later, Isabelle's parents went to look for her. They couldn't find her, so they called an old wise hippo and started to look for her. They found Isabelle as well as the group that caught her. The group were punished by the strong hippos and Isabelle's family was happy to have her back.
