Creative Paragraphs- Man In Space

This week we have been learning to rework our writing to make our paragraphs interesting for our audience. We started by writing a creative sentence about this picture. As a class we will choose Nate's sentence because we liked it the best and wrote a paragraph each to follow the chosen sentence. Here is the beginning of my story that starts with Nate's sentence.

A spaceman bravely walks out into the icy milkyway. Oh no! There is a crack  in his helmet, he can’t breathe. He begins to freeze.


Luckily someone is watching. They quickly help him come back in the ship. They get the laser to unfreeze him.

As the laser touches him he begins to feel warm and good. “Thank you” he says to the people that saved him. I hope it will happen again.

Tinkering, Tools and Toys


Today Pt England had an assembly.  They told us about tinkering, tools and toys. We are going to make a game.

My favourite part was eating the jam piklet. Yum !

It was a great way to start school.

Easter Dictogloss

What is Easter?
People have different beliefs about Easter. Some people think it is about bunnies, easter eggs, food, when Jesus Christ was resurrected and some people don’t celebrate it.

Easter Eggs
Ancient Egyptians and Persians thought that the earth came from an egg. They paint eggs to celebrate. The chocolate Easter egg came from Germany.

Easter Sunday
Christians believe that Jesus died to save us. On Easter Friday he died and on Easter Sunday God brought him alive again.

Whitebait

I have been reading a story about whitebait. I learnt that whitebait are young fish that you make into fritters. My uncle has eaten them but I won't like them. Here is a picture of the whitebait growing up.
