Recount

I walked to school in the morning and found the air chilly and cold. A big cloud of steam billowed out of my mouth when I ordered Mollyanne to hurry up. It was 8:54 am and I was running late, as usual, and I was sprinting towards the Cotswold  school gates.

"Late again, you turd!" My friend, Lakisha, told me. 

"Shut up you egg" I retorted. She narrowed her eyes. "Mollyanne's fault" I told her. Apparently Lakisha had been waiting for ages and she had frozen feet. Big deal. She looked like Rudolph with her bright red nose! 

We jogged to room 25, and, got to the door just when the bell rang. I pushed past Lakisha to get in before her and accidentally whacked her face with my bag. I escaped into the classroom before she could hurt me. Mrs. Douglous-Bray was calling the roll when I got into the class. She raised her eyebrows when I came in late but said nothing. She shut her laptop and got us outside, then led us into the hall. It was graduation day so we sat in front of the hall on top of the stage. Hundreds of faces stared up at us. I couldn't sit next to Lakisha because we were meant to sit in alphabetical order. I'm lucky. I'm hidden in the back of the crowd so not everyone could see me. I sighed loudly. How boring could this assembly be with Mr. Harrison droning on and on about us and the strict teachers watching us like hawks? Oh well, it would be worth the food we would be getting afterwards! I could smell the fresh goodness wafting from the school kitchen into the hall. I was practically drooling...

"POPPY" my friend, Sophie Hooper, nudged me. 

"They are announcing the people that get the trophies!" I flinched. Her breath was really stinky. I felt sorry for the poor people that have to get up in front of the whole school to fetch the trophies. You have to polish them, and you have to return it after one year. What's the big deal? I was just wondering why I bothered to come to school today when the awful thing happened. Mr. Simpson opened his mouth and said it. The one awesome name that still clung to the silent air. 

"Poppy Jennings!" This time it wasn't Sophie that said my name. I stood up and slowly approached his outstretched hand with the silver cup. Red in the face, I took the trophy and stomped back to my seat. "Hey, if you don't want that, I'll have it!" Sophie whispered. Urghhh! Does she ever brush her teeth? Just when I got to my seat and sat down, I had to get up again to sing the national anthem. "God of nations, at thy feet" Sophie squaked. I shuddered. Can we go yet? Finally, Mr. Harrison released us.

A FEW MINUTES LATER...

I grinned. This food was definitely worth that boring assembly!

My next step is to learn where to put paragraphs.

The information report

Making choices

WALT#1:use linking sentences to join our paragraphs.

WALT#2:be specific.

Have you ever had to make a decision?-they aren't so easy to make, right? Here are some of the influences on our choices; friends, family, role models, and the law.

My friends influence my choices because they are people that you don't want to fall out with and you care about them and what they think. They might influence your choice by saying what they think then persuading you to think the same. You just have to remember that you can always say NO.

Friends aren't the only strong influence. Families are another strong influence as well. Families might influence your decisions because if you don't listen to them they might not let you have ice-cream after dinner. They should be people you trust because they're your family. If your family started to believe that smoking was bad, will you EVER smoke?

You would probably have an admired role model as well. If THEY started smoking, would you? If they got a weirdo haircut would you do the same? Role models are a very strong influence you just have to remember that they are not always right. They can do bad things too.

The law prevents you to do bad from doing bad things. It's best to listen to the law when you are in a bad situation with other people. If you don't listen to it, then, you'll be in big trouble and the police might come. The police are scary if you break the law. TRY not to break the law! 

There are lots of influences for our choices and these are some of the biggest. Some influences are good, some are bad. If you come up with the right choice, you should be glad.

Reading

There's a really fun thing in reading where we do this visual language thing and we have to do lots of things with adverts and you choose an ad from the pile then you answer questions about it and it's really fun. I've finished two adverts. One about coke and the other about chocolate Easter eggs.

MY STORY THING

WALT: learn to write creatively

If I was an animal I would be... A PANDA! I would be a panda because they are fat, awesome and fuzzy and. and.and. AWESOME! If I was a panda I would live in the forest with a whole bunch of other panda's and I would be real lazy. If I was a panda I wouldn't have to go to school and it will be really fun because it just will and pandas are really awesome because they are fluffy and adorable. Pandas are one of my favourite animals and they are real fascinating and it will be just awesome if I could just sit around all day and be fat. So that's why I'll be a panda.

My next step is to write more creative
