Working With My Critical Friend

My critical friend is Jessie. Jessie helps me by commenting on my work to let me know if I have made a mistake so I can edit and fix, she rereads my writing to see if it makes sense and checking if I have put my punctuation in the right place. Have a critical friend really does help you a lot. Checking or marking your work can be really tough. Jessie supports me throughout my work and I do the same to her.

My Thank you letter

Dear Kids Can

Wow, what a journey. Thank you so so much for taking us on a life time trip to Rangitoto. I was so excited about the trip because it was my first time going on a ferry! The ferry was amazing. It had the best views that you can possibly see. I got a little bit sea sick when we got off the boat. It was like my stomach was inside out. Any way the island was so beautiful. It had a wonderful little shelter and all sorts of things   that I saw.

This was my first time being on Rangitoto island.  It had a fantastic view on the island and lots of trees. The trees were so big you couldn’t see the the path that you were meant to walk on. The Kids Can helps were amazing and so encouraging. Every Time we would stop and say “I’m so tired I can’t do it anymore” they tell them “Don’t give up just keep going”. If it wasn’t for them we would of stopped half way and walked back.

The best part for me was when  I got to the top and got to see beautiful view of everything. I could see our fantastic city, other places and much more. But the most thing I liked about this bit is that I could spend it with my friends and my teacher.

I had lots of fun with my teacher and wish to go again some day. It was a fabulous adventure that I could ever go on. Thank you so much for everything that you have done.

Your Sincerely Victoria

This is my writing that I have been writing for the last couple of weeks. I hope you enjoy reading my writing.

My Writing

Just in that moment, my mum and sister was checking to see if we had everything in our car so we wouldn't forget anything behind. She just left the couches for dad to pick up in his truck. As soon as we arrived, my mum pulled out a blue key. It was the key for the house!. Mum told me if I could unlock the house. I froze with nerves. So I got out of the car and stood in front of the door.


This is my writing. I was learning to put my punctuation in the right place and use similes. Hope your enjoy reading it.

Film Festival 2014

On an exciting day, Room 7 went to Sylvia Park for the film festival 2014. We all hoped on the bus with excitement on our faces. As soon as we go to Sylvia Park we started walking through doors and passing people. When we got inside of the movie theater they were all sorts of schools there like St Pius X School, Pt England School and more. I really enjoyed it and wish to go there again.

Junior School Cultural Show

Yesterday afternoon, The whole school was really excited about seeing the junior's cultural show. There were lots of parents that arrived to see the juniors cultural show. Soon, the show began. The first class up was room 1 that was presenting Niue with paint on their faces and using sticks to make rhythms. When room 1 was finished each class had their turn playing. The room 2 people and 3 was the best class room who presented their culture, but everyone did great. My favorite part was all of the juniors performing on that day. They did really well and presented their cultural dance perfectly. I wish I could see them again performing.

My Frightening Night

My Frightening Night

Crash! Bang! I hear creepy footsteps up the stairs!

It was just mum,dad, sister and me at home sleeping through the night. While was sleeping, I could hear loud footsteps. I could hear it getting louder and louder. I close my eyes and imagine that nothing is happening but I just can’t. I get up and hide in the cupboard and wait until of of the nightmares go away. I felt like the house was haunted because it had smelly shoes lying on the floor, curtain blowing in the air and wall peels ripping of the walls.

I could feel my body shaking in nervous. I was so scared that I nearly wet my pants. it was getting cold and suddenly I heard the doorknob turning slowly like a slow walking turtle. I had to be brave now and see who it was and guess who it was. I was my sister sleep walking all over the place.She kept opening rooms and turning the doorknobs slowly so she can find she bedroom. So I guess that wasn't really a scary night well it felt like to me. But I just hope that it doesn't happen again.

My Small Moments

My Best Day With My Mum

Last week on Saturday my mum and I and the rest of the family went figure skating. As soon as we entered through the doors it was cold like I was left outside to freeze. We had to wait in a line to get our shoes. I felt like the line was rushing to get tickets for a huge concert. Finally we got to the top of the line and ordered our shoes quickly.

After that we had to walk all the way around the ice rink to get to our chairs. My dad said I could go first. Every bit of me was shaking and I felt like there were butterflies in my stomach. I went on the ice for the first time I couldn't control my feet properly. I nearly got the hang of using my feet properly.

Meanwhile I saw my mum getting on to the ice, she was scared like a bear was going to eat her, so she jumped of the ice and my dad already knew how to ice skate before me. I was so shocked at my dad that I didn't want to look at him.

As soon I was on the ice my sister was on. She slipped a few times and on her bottom. She was having fun and screaming too. I could hear her screaming all the way from the other side of the rink. When I did my second round I heard lots of people having fun and screaming as loud as they can.

After that I had enough skating for tonight, so I asked my mum if we can head back home and she said “alright call your dad to come in.” I shouted to my dad “ Dad we are going now.” He came skating as fast as he can. Finally we head back home and I said to myself “ I had a really fun time.”   

Interactive Drum

On Wednesday we went to the hall. When we went there we heard Johnny and Lucy play a song, once there I thought it was pretty cool because they had different tunes, while we had a drum each.

 When I sat down I heard him say to us to follow him sing to the song, I like drums I like drums I like drums drums drums, after we all coped johnny we all felt tired. Also we had to sing the lyric Yes I like it very very much.

After we all heard Johnny and Lucy play a very had song that they really played it fast because even I couldn't catch up with them. My favorite part was when the had a music to play and they catch a nice and smooth rythme

Invisible For A Day

If I was invisible for a day I would trick someone, and if someone wanted a lollie I will take it anad make it look like its floating but I will give it back. I would prefer to go to a 1 Direction concert invisible so no one can see me.

When i am invisible I would like to scare someone in my family. I prefer to be invisi because I can do my work when no one is looking and also help people with there work.

If it was halloween I will be a ghost so I can frighten them . I like being invisible because I can do anything I want.
