Literacy+and+Communication

Here is my writing on my blog. || ||   ||   || 2016 The Judges comment was used notes but did engage with the audience. Good research. My end result was 75. I liked writing it I had a little bit of help I had a lot of info. Next year I will Say more confidingly. = 2015 = =__** My Speech **__= = I wake up feeling shaky nervous I go to the table and ask for french toast. At school I fleet really nervous now. It is now time to start I am forth up at the end I was really happy to have done and for James came 3 rd, Hunter came 2nd and Hannah came 1st I had lost of points. The judges comment was Lauren you had done some research and had some very Good information. Try not to sway next time you do a speech! You spoke very clearly. = = = Fast car, drugs, alcohol.... these are the things that spring to our minds when we consider things that might harm our children. How many of you consider too much TV being one of these dangerous things? Ladies and Gentlemen Boys and Girls. I am here to tell you how to help you and your kids to be responsible watching TV. I'm here to talk about tv ratings some good rules for your family and give you some advice. Did you know that all TV programmes and videos have a rating. If it is PG or G it is ok to watch by yourself and if it is PGR you should have an adult with you. You should watch appropriate TV for your age so you know the the programme is safe for you to watch. One suggestion is to record good programs for kids. This will mean that you will be able to fast forward any bad ads. Is also a great idea to have some family rules. We should all watch a healthy amount of TV. Did you know that research shows that in NZ children over 8 years of age watch three hours and a half hours of TV a day ...That is a lot! Preschoolers watch two hours a day ... That is plenty. Ander two year olds watch an hour a day. Some people joke that if you watch too much TV you will get square eyes. It is a great saying to stop us watching too much TV but that is not true. You will get a bad headache and sore eyes though. It is important to that we also do other things. = = Good advice for you and your kids ... let your child pick a program and watch that ... then they can go and have some fitness, like jumping on the tramp, going for a bike ride a run or skipping. = = The most important part is that you don't just let them watch all they want and leave them. Make sure that they know the amount of tv so they don't get carried away and watch program after program. = = So help your kids have a healthy, fit life and future. = Stop watching too much TV and start living. =

= = =// Mistletoe Bay camp //= =// Day one Monday the 16th of March //= =// We sprinted to the cool playground. I ran down the steps to deck 2 to the cool play ground on the ferry. It was really fun. I could not stop my heart from racing in front of me //= =// I was in a good mood, I can't wait to get to Mistletoe Bay. The ferry was going sooo slow. My heart was pounding so fast. We walked off the huge ferry. We walked onto the Cougar Line which was a smaller boat. We went zooming over the water. I ran off the boat into the whare at Mistletoe Bay it was cool. //= == =// Day two 17th //= =// As I went gliding over the diamond sea on a SUP board, it was like there were heaps of rockets on the back of me. It was amazing I was zooming over the sea. I could do it all day. //= =// I kept going until I got stuck in the mud I had to hop off the sup and push. We had a turn in the sail boat I had a great time. I piked a few musicals. This is the best camp I have been to I want to live there. //= =// We saw the glow worms they looked like little lights and stars. The mud was swish, slimy, slippery and sooo much fun. On the way back Mrs Cuming jumped out and scared Tyler, he jumped. //= = = =// Day three 18th //= =// The wind blows my hair. My toes are over the side of the boat, blue water surrounds me. A round fin came soaring to the top of the sea. A hector dolphin ya ! I was in luck to see so many of them. Jayda and I named them Charlotte, Charlie, Love Heart. They are my favorite. I want a pet dolphin it would be sooo cute. We saw some cute cuddly seals. We had some yum hot chocolate. Wekas were having a fight it was funny. We learnt that blue cod females could turn in to males. I was amazed I never knew that. We zoomed to the Mussel farm then we zipped to the salmon farm. //= = = = Day four 19th = = Time to get on the ferry. It would be soo cool if there was a window in the play ground on deck 2 because we are under water. = = Last day of camp. The sea was stormy. Crash we start to go up and down up down. I was sick 2 times hugging the toilet it was not fun. I had a few mints. They exploded in my mouth. I was so glad we were down to one hour in the rough sea. I got a glimpse of fresh air then I scrambled to my seat. The sea would be so good for surfing. = = The end of a good day ends with tea at Wagamama. I had a mini katsu it was delicious. =

==In the holidays it was my Aunties wedding she had white flowers on her dress. I was the flower girl. My dress had little shiny sparkly diamonds on it. Charlotte's had blue flowers on it. The main part of the dress it was blue as well. ==

==On the day before the Wedding day my cousin broke the big mirror .My Aunties got to stay in a fancy fancy castle. My family got to stay in a bungalow it had 2 hammocks. It was awesome. At the dinner the kids had pizza and a hamburger and chips. The dance floor was awesome. I was dancing with Ethan we can do the twirl. In my Uncle Ricks sister speech she side she would have to go on a swearing spree. I would of thought that she would get in trouble for swearing. When my Uncle Rick is at my house he loves jumping on the trampoline. He is really nice I am glad that my Aunty has married him. ==

== If we go there again I will have the sun room to myself. On the way home we visited Charlotte's friend Phoebe she has a little sister who is 9. Her name is Matilda. We jumped on trampoline it was awesome. Phoebe is one of Charlotte's best friends. For my Grandpa's Birthday when he turns 71, we will go to Matakana. I will wear a t-shirt and jeans. I will get him a book or some gardening tools because he loves doing them I love helping him gardening. I like reading to him too. ==

We all have great family fun times.
On Camp in Wellington My best place was the Circus #|school. I was #|nervous, when I first arrived because I thought I was going to do the high ropes. But I learnt to balance on my head. First I put my hands in a #|shape like a triangle and then I pushed off. I loved it when I had a go on the trapeze. The man who can juggle 7balls taught us how to juggle. I learnt a new trick by juggling with my partner Dylan. We swapped the balls, he was superb at teaching me. It was exciting when the Lady came down the red cloth, first she scrambled up it like a monkey, it was so amazing. I had never seen anything like it. The other lady swung on the trapeze, she looked like an orangutan I was amazed by her. I hope next year we go on a exciting camp like that.

I had a superb time in the bush. The tadpoles were slimy and the pond was icky. Pixel fell in, luckily she had a spare pair of clothes. I caught ten tadpoles. They were especially hard to catch, we had to be very quick we had to sneak up on them. I was tired after the walk. ====== = = = = =__16 . 8. 2013__= =My handwriting - I am learning to make my tall letters reach the top line. And make the tummy of y +p+g sit on the line.

Kapiti Island Cameo Writing At night, I saw a kiwi when I looked out of my tent. I heard a kiwi and it said screehoow. It was white in the night.

I slept in the tent with Sarah and Georgia and Johnny woke me up. Everyone sat and waited for the kiwi to come down from the bush, over the bridge to the flat, but we were too tired to wait, because the night before Sarah talked and Georgia snored all night !
