The Perspective of the dog

Today for writing we have to write either the perspective of the dog or the girl from the music video happier in first person. I have chosen to do the perspective of the dog. So here it is:

I'm being carried through the air but I don't know why, I think I'm being carried somewhere to someone. I thought as I was held above the ground, at that moment I saw I was being carried towards a human girl. Oh boy am I gonna get to play with her.... whats that in her hand is it for me maybe just maybe. I realized that it was small bow and then it hit me it is for me I'm going to play with and get gifts from this human girl. Then it stuck to me and wouldn't get off but I was still glad this human girl was going to play with me.

This was a great task and the music video was also great, except for the sad bit at the end. I liked the task because if you do the dog you get to write down what you think it would be thinking. Leave a comment on what you thought of my writing.

EOTC Week 2

On our way to our year 8 EOTC week we are doing tasks based on the places were going. The first task I did was design a raft, this is the second task. In this task I have to write what part of the EOTC week I'm most looking forward to. Here it is:

Why You Should Always Show Respect

For writing today we are required to persuade you the reader why you should always show respect around you. Since we have been looking at respect and persuasive writing this term we were told to write a piece of persuasive writing.

Respect is a good thing to show, it tells people what kind of person you are, like whether your mean or kind. It can be as simple as holding the door open for somebody or saying please and thank you. You can show respect in many different ways and some times you can do it without realizing it. Respect can come in multiple forms like respect to the environment, self respect and respect for others and their belonging. Putting up your hand in class shows respect to you teacher, when don't do this you might call out or talking when they are talking.

My Writing

In class we have been learning about recount writing, we had to write a recount about a holiday here is mine:

It was only a few minutes before midnight on the 31st of december. I was waiting on the couch at home with dad preparing for the countdown. It was getting close to the countdown and I was really excited.

My dad and I were setting up for a tiny new years party. I brought out my computer so we could watch something before the countdown. I also had a new years timer open on my computer so we could tell when we needed to start the video. Dad turned on the TV and switched it to the right channel for the live countdown. We were now ready for the countdown so we slipped on our party crowns.

It was time to watch the video on Netflix, the video was Skylanders New Years which is only available at the end of the year. We played the video It was cool and it was played with perfect timing. We watched the video and prepared for the countdown at the end. I had my hooter in my mouth, then the countdown began and I yelled the numbers out. 10… 9… 8… 7… 6… it was slightly muffled.

5… 4… 3… 2… 1… the countdown finished and I shouted “HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!”. After the shout I blew my hooter like crazy until I ran out of breath. I quickly regained my breath and blew my hooter like crazy again. Then we watched the fireworks on TV. The fireworks were really pretty and lit up the sky on the first few minutes of the new year.

After all that it was time for bed I did my eye drops, brushed my teeth and went to the toilet. After that it was time to catch some zzz's so I snuggled into bed and went to sleep. In the morning I woke up to a new day in a new year.

That was fun and I would love to do it again any day of the year.

Reflection on work:

I think that I created an interesting piece of writing because it has lots of story to it so people know exactly what I did.

For next time I could spend more time on the conclusion

In my writing, I would like to improve on coming up with ideas on what to write

hope you enjoyed my work please leave a comment on what I could improve on.

Michael probably used the colours on the front of the book because they help to show that it is dusk or dawn. Also the title goes with the picture because it gives you the aspect of a crook able to tame and ride a horse.

The Horrable Museum

My Terrifying Night At The Museum

Dusk fell around the museum , now it was time to run!!! “Sione help!” someone yelled, Sione and I both heard it and ran toward the voice. Soon we reached the room where we had heard the voice coming from. But there was no one there, I looked at the roof and saw Abby dangling from a chandelier. This was going to be a long night.

“We have to get her down” I said, only Sione was too busy staring at the painting of a tower. The tower was falling down as tiny knight's hit it with their swords. I told her to jump, but all she did was flick her shoe at me. “Ow!!!” I yelled up “any way jump now, I’ll catch you”. “No way ho zay” she screeched at me, this has going to be very hard I thought. Abby spun round on the chandelier and saw a T-rex about to eat me. “Behind you!” she whispered petrified, I slowly turned around and ran out or the room screaming my head off!!!

Later when I was out of breath I stopped and realised I was surrounded by carnivorous plants. As I looked around plants started standing up on their roots and chasing me. This museum is terrifying I thought I wasn’t paying any attention to what I was doing and ran into a mummy lair. I didn’t notice that I was in there until I ran INTO A MUMMY!!!!!!!!!! There I freaked and kicked the head off the mummy so hard it bounced. It bounced off the back wall and then the front one only to bite me on the bottom. “Ow!!!!!” I screamed. Afterwards I ran out of the room so fast that I was like the flash! I decided to hide in the smallest room.

Oops big mistake this room was full of Indians, even worse THEY HAD WEAPONS!!!!!!!!!! I screamed so much that I fainted, in front of hundreds of Indians and mannequins displaying Indian clothing. When I woke up I was staring into the faces of Abby and Sione. “I had the words dream” I said, all of that screaming must have also made me nauseous. Because as soon as I stood up I hurled on the carpet and fainted again. I woke up again only I was tied up and being carried by trolls!!!

“Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!” I screamed and jumped out of my bed it was 2:00 A.M. it was all a dream or was it “dun dun dunnnnn” “what seriously dun dun dun”  ……. “Is this story still going?”

The End Or Is It. “bum bum bum” “oh no”

Baking Cookies Writing

Baking Cookies Too Fast!

By Thomas Woermann.

Blurble! Abby had to bake 2 dozen chocolate chip cookies fast, so she turned the electric beater on to full SPEED!

Then she rolled the dough so fast that it almost fell off the sticky green bench.

After she shaped the cookies so fast that the edges were crazy crooked.

Finally she was able to take them out of the oven and try one but they tasted like soap.

She had to do it all again only faster!
