Rugby

We have been learning how to write instructional writing. For this task, we had to pick a thing to write instructions for and then we had to try and do/make it by following them. Then we had to make a video for an example on how to do/make it. We picked to make instructions for how to play a game of rugby. What I found hard while playing rugby was trying to get past the other team to get a try. Here are two videos of the example!

David Walliams

Have you ever heard of David Walliams, the writer of The Beast of Buckingham Palace, The Boy In The Dress, Awful Auntie and the very common The World's Worst Children series. For this task, we had to answer some questions about David Waliams like how old he is, what made him start writing and his interests. What I found hard while making this post was trying to get the right amount of information to answer the questions. Here is my post about David Walliams!

What's Out My Window

If you look out the window, do you see bustling streets full of cars? Or a fantastic view of beautiful mountains? For this task, we had to write a descriptive paragraph about what we see out our window. What I found hard while making this post was trying to find good things to describe. Here is my post about What's Out My Window!

What’s Out My Window

I can see two broken, brown bird nests up high in the leafless, plum tree
who had given in to Autumn. Tall, thin pine trees are all bunched up in the
distance. A noisy green tractor bumping its way along the uneven gravel
is like a dragon going to war. Cows of different sizes mooing in unison,
hungry for their next meal of cleanly cut silage. Growing impatient they stride
over to the rotten fence watching the huge tractor transport the food closer
and closer. Behind the restless cattle are enormous mountains that vary in
sizes and shapes all topped off with prickly shrub sprawled out evenly
across the muddy surface.

Harald Competition

Have you ever heard of Harald the Giraffe? I'm sure you have! For this task, we had to make an entry for this competition and then email it to Harald! What I found hard while making this post was trying to think about a creative thing to do. 

Here is my entry for the Harald Competition!

Speedy Mum

Whats your dream superpower? Strength? Flying? Telepathy? Well, my Mums dream super power is speed. For this task, since its getting closer to mothers day we had to think about what their super power would be or ask them what their dream super power is. It could be realistic like cooking or unrealistic like flying or flexibility. Then we had to write about why they wanted that super power. What I found hard while making this post was trying to get ideas for paragraphs. Here is my post about Speedy Mum!

Speedy Mum
If my Mum had a superpower it would have to be speed. Here are

three reasons why she picked to be fast.

Supermarket Lines

Have you ever got sick of standing in line waiting to buy your groceries?

Most people have and guess what? My Mum won’t have that problem!

Speeding to the front of the line to get her groceries… easy. Nobody will

see her and they’ll just feel a whoosh of air as she runs past. That’s just

one of the many privileges of being fast!

All Day Chores

Washing the dishes, making the beds and vacuuming are all time

consuming jobs. They seem as if they are everlasting. But one easy

fix is speed! My Mum could finish the dishes in 2.8 seconds and making

the beds will take no more than 0.3! All you hear when my Mum vacuums

will be the on and off switch. The house will be spick and span by the

time we have breakfast. Now how convenient would that be!

Farm work

Do you want to finish your day’s work and get home by morning tea?

You could do all your jobs on the farm and then get home for your cake

and coffee at 10.00 o’clock, if you had SPEED! My Mum wouldn’t need

a motorbike because she could just run to where she wants to go.

Feeding one hundred calves at 7.00 o‘clock in the morning and

wanting to be home by eight might seem impossible but my Mum

would be a pro at it. 

Just think? How cool would it be to be able to skip the lines at the

supermarket, finish chores by breakfast and get all your farm work

done by 10.00 o'clock! If my Mum had speed for a superpower she

would be unstoppable!

Nut Catching

What do you do to get moving? For this task, we had to try and make up a game that was inside or outside. I made a game called Nut Catching. What I found hard while making this game was trying to figure out what to throw into the air. Here is my post about a game called Nut Catching!
