2D And 3D Shapes

I have been learning to describe 2D and 3D shapes using words such as edge, face and vertices

BEST TOY EVER!

I was suppose to learn to use complex punctuation correctly but I didn't have a story and I had to write a story in a book at home and then come to school then write my story into my Chromebook.


I think I was successful because I had similes in my story and my reflection.  Also using comas.

I still need to learn to get on with my work so I get into the lessons. I'm not using puncutation within speech marks correctly yet.

                                                             BEST TOY EVER!

In the Holidays Me, Dad, Rena and Sarah Jane (My little sister) went to Whangarei to go to the Warehouse. The Toy I most wanted was a WWE ring.

So when we got to Whangarei I quickly ran out of the car to go into the Warehouse. I was looking around for the toy aisle. I was like a lost little puppy. But then.. I saw the toy aisle sign. I shouted out, “THERE IS THE TOYS AISLE!” Dad came over to me and said to me “ Well, you better get to the toys aisle”  So I quickly ran to the toy aisle to find a WWE ring. When I finally reached to the toys aisle I was searching and searching for a WWE ring. Until what was right in front of me. A WWE ring toy just lying on the ground “ A TOY SHOULD NOT BE ON THE GROUND!” I said to myself. “Well, I still took it.

Then I got out of the toy aisle and searched for dad. “Dad Dad” I shouted  out loud. Then dad popped out of nowhere like he was a wizard. “ Dad dad i’m going to buy this WWE ring with my money” I said to dad. “sure “ dad replied.

So then I went to the counter to pay for it. After that we went home. WHen we got home I quickly ran inside to open my brand new toy. So when I opened it I said to myself “WOW this is an Awesome looking toy” “Do you like your new toy”  Dad and Rena asked me “Heck yes” I replied. With plenty of excitement.

I very very much enjoyed that day when I was buying a WWE ring and I had lots of fun playing with my new WWE ring.  So I enjoyed that day very very much.

Plastic bags are harmful for the environment.

WALT use language features of persuasive writing

To be successful I will:

Use rhetorical questions to make my writing interesting
Use emotive language (words about feelings/emotions)

                          Plastic bags are harmful for the environment.

I strongly believe that plastic bags are harmful for the environment. Do you agree?  

My first reason is that plastic bags are dangerous to animals. Say if there were heaps of plastic bags around animals and they ate it they will choke and die. Won’t that be tragic? added to this, plastic bags are non biodegradable which means that it cannot rot down like other things can rot down. So it’s bad for the animal life. Would that be devastating to people if animals die from plastic bags?  No you would you be heartbroken.

My second reason is that plastic bags are made out of petroleum. Petroleum comes out of the ground. People use big drills to drill it out of the ground. Let’s not get off topic. So, petroleum is the same as petrol, it's dangerous if swallowed and toxic to aquatic life. Would you want all aquatic life to die? No because it would be tragic if aquatic life die from plastic bags?  

My third reason why is that it’s pretty much everywhere. Say if there were dozens of plastic bags in your house get rid of it, it harms the environment. Added to this we will be plastic bag free so that it can’t harm the environment. Do you want plastic bags around you and everywhere? No that would be disgusting.  

In summary  I think that plastic bags are harmful for the environment is that it’s dangerous for animal life, it’s non biodegradable and it’s made out of petroleum which is harmful to people and to aquatic life.   

People should not dump their waste into the landfill

WALT use linking phrases between paragraphs to support the development of the text.

My next learning step is to speed up my work because I only had one paragraph and the rest of the group finished their draft and had a lesson on linking phrases between paragraphs to support the development of the text. so I missed out on the learning.

 Waste, waste, waste, it's all just waste and rubbish. Just throw it in the landfill. Do you agree or disagree that people should not dump their rubbish in the landfill? Well, I agree that people should not dump their rubbish into the landfill. I will try my best to persuade you and explain why people should not dump their rubbish into the landfill.

My first reason why I think that people should not dump their rubbish into the landfill is that it’s causing pollution to the environment which is not good for our environment. It might also be hazardous.           

My second reason is that all the hazardous stuff in the landfill like batteries and computers affects the environment and people. Plus about two thirds of landfilled waste is biodegradable. Added to this leachate is toxic liquid that leaks from landfills and gets into the water system. Also if it gets into the water system people will drink it and get poisoned and die. How disastrous will that be?

My third reason why people should not dump their rubbish into the landfill is that all the biodegradable things in there rots and decomposes  producing harmful gases like carbon dioxide and methane. Adding to global warming.

In summary I think that people should not dump their rubbish into the landfill because it’s just harming the environment.
