Mother's Day Writing

Mother’s Day Described Writing

My mum is the most important thing in my life.   Because  she is always their when i need help but now i’m a grown boy.  My mum is short and skinny and her hair is coloured in blonde like goldilocks.

My mum is like an angel that protects me from danger, my mum is an funny woman she takes me to my training every monday like a taxi that doesn’t need to pay.

 Every night she will wake up and get ready for work in the middle of the night like an Kiwi.

The End.

A letter to Santa

Name:47

Address:sesame street 1763

Date:20/9/14

Dear Santa  I am writing this letter to you because I want to know what am I getting for christmas.  

On Christmas I want all the Nike roshes and all the Lebrons shoes.

The reason why I deserve a present is because I do all my chores.

Paul is someone who does not deserve a present because he plays games during school time and never cleans up.

Hope you have a good Christmas.

From 47

Squash recount

On Monday after morning tea we lined up to go to the hall for our new sport called Squash but they were just here for 3 days just to teach us how to play Squash and we saw two guys and their name was  Phil and Michael. And they showed how to play and they told us the rules, one rule was to not let the ball bounce twice on the floor and the other rule was to not let the ball go above the top line. After telling us about the rules we all got into two groups and we started off going to Phil. We used the rackets and the balls and we had to bounce the ball on the racket and we had tricks to do.

The other team went with Michael and they played Squash with the racket and one yellow ball. They played againt the  plastic wall, and they got to versus Michael at Squash .

On top of the stage all the little kids from other school had to sit on top. And we had two adults that sang with us and it  was Jackie and Nathan they were good singers. When we sang some of the songs we had a break and every schools got to go and have something to eat before they come back to the stage and  finish off the rest of the song.

After we finished all the songs we got ready to come back to school on the bus, it was sunny and hot outside. It was a long way back  and when we got back to school we got ready to have lunch. We got something from Miss G it was an ice block and it was cold. Straight after that we all got to go and play at the tennis courts then we got ready to go home because it was nearly home time.
