Recount, Time with family

Kia ora

Here is the recount I wrote  for an Asttle writing test in Week 4.  Our teacher marked all our recounts and gave us our scores. Mine came out at Level  3A  which is above the end of year standard for Year Five. I got the lowest marks for spelling. 

We helped each other improve them by reading each other’s recount and talking about them. We also used Revision Assistant to help edit each other’s story and Mrs B added some notes as well. Everyone in our room likes Revision Assistant because it’s easy to understand the marks/ notes that it puts on your writing and so it’s quick for us to go and do the fix-ups. We have to have practically perfect grammar, punctuation and spelling in our stories before we are allowed to publish them here. I hope someone will give me some feedback.

Ka kite ano

“Yay!!” I yelled.

My nana, brother, mum, dad and I were going to America on the airline called Delta to visit my aunt and uncle.The airplane was blue, red and white. When we boarded the airplane I went and sat next to my brother and my dad.The seats were so squishy it was like sitting on clouds. As we took off I started getting butterflies in my stomach. We glided through the clouds like a swan on a lake.

After we had taken off,  the flight attendant came around and gave us our headphones so we could watch TV. When I got my headphones I turned on my TV and looked through the Disney movies and found Big Hero 6, so I decided to watch it and my brother watched Frozen so many times I lost count.  Big Hero 6 was really funny because when a boy tried  to put the armour on the robot it wouldn’t stay on.

After the the movie was finished the flight attendant came around and asked if I wanted a drink of some sort. “ Water please,” I said.

“Ok,” said the fight attendant. When the fight attendant had lifted I went on to games and my brother was still watching Frozen.

An hour later, the flight attendant came around with dinner. It was mashed potato with beans and peas with chicken and for dessert there was a tub of chocolate mousse. It looked and tasted delicious. When I had finished dinner, I looked out my window and saw some little island in the sea, and before I knew it I was a sleep.

The next morning, the flight attendant came around and  gave me my breakfast. There were waffles and fruit salad and after I was finished I went back and played fun games like Pacman and a game with cavemen. They had to run away from the lava that came out of the volcano.

At ten o'clock the captain said that we were landing at Los Angeles International Airport. When we had landed we came off the plane and into the airport. I felt happy that we were going to  see my aunt and uncle in the city of Marietta!!!

Thinklink about the ocean and the sea.

Hello for the last few weeks we have been doing a thinglink about oceans and the seas. Here is mine

Greats & grands day treats

Hi everyone
Here is a Thinglink that I made for Greats' and Grands' Day. Thinglink is a digital app that lets you select a photo and then put little icons on it. Then, you create links for each icon that takes you to information about what's in the photo. Your links can take you to pictures, words, movies, maps, music etc. So, it's a creative way to share information about something. Please send me some feedback. This is my first try at making a Thinglink.

Greats and grands day recount

Hello last week we wrote a recount for Greats and grands day. Here it is.

Vroom, vroom!! The chainsaw buzzed loudly. The other day I helped my granddad cut down a big tree at my grandparents’ house. My job was to push the big tree away from the olive tree so it did not crush it. “Come on!” said Granddad. “Ok,” I replied.

Granddad started cutting, but it kept stopping. “ Come on!” he said. Finally, it roared to life like an angry tiger. In the blink of an eye it was gliding through the tree like a ballet dancer on a stage. Next, the tree began to fall and I pushed it away from the olive tree and…….. thud! The tree hit the ground with a loud crash!

“Well done,” said Grandad as we pulled to the tree of the bank,where it had been.The bark of the tree was rough like sandpaper. After that we placed it on the tractor bucket and took it up to where the rest of the wood was to cut it into firewood.

Later that day, Granddad and I used the chainsaw to cut it up into small pieces for firewood. I had a great day and I felt happy because we had lots of new fire wood.
