TAC'S

L.I: we are learning to recount an exciting event so that our reader knows what happened & how we felt.

As Friday the 28th  February came around we got ready to leave to Windsor Park in the morning. The year 7 & 8’s  got separated into different groups the bikers went into Mrs Hawke’s class and the other group went with Mrs Hoogerbrug walking to the park, when we all arrived we sat down by a flag that said St Mary's School Hastings on it. We sat there and waited for the individuals to get numbers on their arm. Afterwards, Mrs Hutchins sent the people in teams to be registered.  When we were all waiting for the individual girls to start St Mary's School were cheering me on, there was trips, thumps and pushes. Even though I wasn't the best biker in the bunch, it was very hard and some others past me. Eventually, swimming with a throat that is dry makes it hard to catch my breath. After 6 lengths of the pool I finished and was standing proudly after coming 6th place.
I like this piece of writing: Because it reminds me of my first time at TAC'S with all the different schools.
My next step is to:Explain what was happening and how the others felt.

The Navy Band.

We went to the Navy Band in Napier.  There were lots but not loads of people. The leader/conductor asked for everybody to  stand up and copy him,then he got some people to go up and do some conducting for the band. Caden and I got picked to go up as well as some others I went second and I was very nervous but I did what the conductor said to do. 

My first day at school

It was early February and nervousness filled my belly like flies tickling your legs. Adults with toddlers roaming around, people with prams running around with plastic bags filled with books, pens and school work. The teacher greeted us at the door with a big, warm, welcoming smile. She lead me to my own, new seat where I put my chairbag and books. Mum and Dad gave hugs and kisses to me and then left me so I could socialise and make new friends.About 45 minutes before morning tea we had something called “brain food,” to keep us going they said. When I got out of the classroom,the field was filled with bright colours and beautiful sounds that made me feel happy.  I come in after morning tea I would sit on the mat and the teacher would read me a book and that was very relaxing. At the end of the day we would say good afternoon Mr/Mrs___ and leave the classroom. I would wait for my Mum and Dad at the church, but if I’m still at school when the 3:00 bell goes the teacher or a principal will escort me and the kids to a safer place than being out at the front by the church. After a good nights sleep we come back in the morning refreshed.

The Owl and the Grasshopper

The Owl and the Grasshopper

An Owl was sitting in a hollow tree,sleeping on a summers afternoon. A rogue of a grasshopper came along singing in between the grass. The grasshopper went by and the Owl waited for silence again. The grasshopper greeted him as  a fellow and said,”Did you wake from my beautiful voice,”the Owl didn't answer.The grasshopper jumped up to the owl with a bottle of nectar and the Owl finished her/his nap in comfort.

Moral:Flattery is not a proof of admiration.
