Writing

Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be showing you my writing task for this week.
For the past two weeks we have been working on speeches and this week we have been filling in a rubric outlining how good we think we did.

That was my rubric.  What do you think?

Writing

Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I am showing you my writing create task. This week we have been working on speeches. The topic of my speech is: Zero hunger. This is my favorite paragraph.

66 million primary school-age children attend classes hungry across the developing world, with 23 million in Africa alone. That is more than 3 times the people that are in NZ. Imagine if that was all of NZ. Everyone that you know would be starving. Your friends would be starving. Your family would be starving. You would be starving. But luckily it's not you. It's 66 million others. That's 66 million children aged around 5-11 going to school starving.  Imagen if you had to go to school or work without breakfast and probably  without lunch as well. How would you feel? That's how 66 million children feel everyday.  If there are 23 million children starving just in Africa right now imagen how much that number will grow in even 6 years if we don't do something about it. But that's not it. Hunger and undernutrition contribute to more than half of global child deaths, as undernutrition can make children more vulnerable to illness.

That was my favorite paragraph of my speech. Do you think that it was good?

Zero hunger

66 million primary school-age children attend classes hungry across the developing world, with 23 million in Africa alone.  That's 66 million children aged around 5-11 going to school starving.  Imagen if you had to go to school or work without breakfast and probably  without lunch as well. How would you feel?  That's how 66 million children feel everyday.  If there are 23 million children starving just in Africa right now imagen how much that number will grow in even 6 years if we don't do something about it. But that's not it. Hunger and undernutrition contribute to more than half of global child deaths, as undernutrition can make children more vulnerable to illness and exacerbate disease.

Did you know that poor nutrition causes nearly half (45 per cent) of deaths in children under five and approximately 3.1 million children die from undernutrition each year. That's a lot of people dying just because they can get enough food and it's not only a problem in developing countries, it’s spreading because of how much people today consume. Right now someone is struggling to feed their children while some else is enjoying a feast.

The problem is huge, it's an overwhelming crime and it definitely seems daunting, engulfing. Food is part of what keeps us alive and why should we have to give up some of our food? But if the world continues to feed the wealthy while the poor can't even afford food, then imagen how we will be living in 18 years. Do you want your children, grandchildren growing up where food is something that they have to fight for? Didn't think so. 

This problem is not just people dying because of hunger. There are also a lot of problems that low nutrition causes. Such as, if you don't have enough food then your immune system grows weaker or you might run out of engeny. 

Thanks for reading my create task. What do you think of zero hunger?

The witch and the chicken bone

Hi, welcome back to my blog. today I will be showing you my writing task for this week. This week we have been continuing on from the Hansel and Gretel sentences and I have some new ones to show you.

The little old lady

Complex sentences

The old lady stood there hunched and smiling. She seemed kind with her bright colors and cherry face. Her wrinkled face saged in places and her glasses sat perched on her nose.  

The children looked at the old lady with grey silky hair with bright cherry clothes. In hand she held a walking stick and on the other arm hung a bag. 

As soon as the children looked at the old lady they noticed that her ears dripped down almost to her shoulders and her nose stuck out like pinocchio. Her eyes were half covered by her wrinkly cheeks and her eyebrows barely gave shape to her face anymore.

Dialogue

“Come come come inside” as she cleared her voice. Gretel went to answer but her brother bet her to it. “ we shouldn't talk to strangers”. He stated. “ The old lady smiled. “ I thought that you would want some more candy”. “That's ok though. More for me”. She croaked. 

“What are you doing to my house”? Cried the old lady. “ we thought that no one lived here”. Replied Gretel. “We were so hungry and we have been wandering around the forest for so long,” added hansle. “ thats ok then come inside and we can have a nice chat over tea and biscuits”. 

“My house, my beautiful house. What have you done to my beautiful house.” The children looked at the old woman crying over the candy house that they had just destroyed. Hansel was the first to speak. “ we were just nibbling on it. We thought that the owner wouldn't mind.”  “ well I do mind. Here come inside and we can discuss how you can repay me.” The lady said.

Adverbial phrases

She hobbled towards the house beckoning to the children to follow. The children were quick to follow her inside but soon found out that they could have taken their time because she moved as slow as a sloth.

She slowly moved with as much grace as an elephant towards the children. Her walking stick seemed to be the only thing holding her up. Finally she made her way to the children and just in time, it looked as if her walking stick would collapse. 

She slowly came towards the small children. Taking one small step at a time. It looked as if her walking stick would collapse at any moment.

Hansle in a cage, Gretel as a servant.

The witch feeding the hansle

Sentence 1

The witch fed Hansle all sorts of wonderful treats to fatten him up.  Delicious desserts, scrumptious sweets and crunchy candies. He grew and grew and grew. Big, bigger and bigger, fat, fatter and fattest. Every day the witch feed him. There were gallons of grape juice and cartons of cranberries. Every day the witch came to cheek how fat hansle had got. Lucky Hansel and his sister Gretel who served as a servant came up with a plan to save Hansle. Each time the witch came and asked to see how fat Hansle had become Hansle simply stuck out a chicken bone instead.   

Sentence 2

Every day Hansle grew. He got bigger and bigger, fatter and fatter, larger and larger and wider and wider, soon he was the biggest, fattest, largest, widest boy in the world and still the witch fed him. Every day he got cheesy chips, creamy chocolate and melted marshmallows.  The only reason the witch had not eaten him was because every time the witch told him to stick out his hand so that she could see how fat he was he just showed her a skinny chicken bone.

Sentence 3

Hansle started to grow and grow.  Every day the witch came to his cage and gave him gigantic gingerbread, juicy grapes and crisp cookies. Hasle grew bigger and bigger then wider and wider. Soon he was the biggest widest fattest boy Gretel had ever seen. The only way that Hansel was still alive is because every time the witch went to Hansle to check if he was fat enough to eat he showed her a skinny chicken bone instead.

That was my create task for this week. Have you read Hansel and Gretel before?

Hansel and Gretel

Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be showing you my writing create task for this week.  This week the goal was:  Use a range of written features to engage the audience.
support ideas with detail(use an adverb to show how). We had to write 3 sentences about what the   scenes in the book: Hansel and Gretel would look like in our own words.

Forest

Sentence 1

Hansel and Gretel moved slowly through the sea of sharp branches. Branches so sharp they would cut them with the slightest touch. As they moved deeper into the forest the trees became more and more deadly. They stared into the deep ominous forest and wondered how they would get out.

Sentence 2

The dark lonely forest seemed to go on forever. As Hansel and Gretel moved, the branches almost seemed to move closer. As if they were trying to trap the children in the deadly scary lonely place.

Sentence 3

The sharp branches scraped at Hansel and Gretel’s clothing as the two small children tried to make sense of the never ending maze. The fog seemed to almost settle just above the children, taunting them, making it even harder to navigate the endless forest that Hansel and Gretel were now trapped in.

Smells and how they moved

Sentence 1

Suddenly the clearing was overcome with a sweet smell. It almost seemed to dance toward the children. Alluring the children to follow the smell.

Sentence 2

Into the clearing came a tangy smell. It wafted into the children's nose. Overcome with hunger they ran to find the place from where the smell was being cultivated.

Sentence 3

As the children sat down a scrumptious smell drifted around the children. They inhaled and as soon as they smelly the divine smell drifting around them they leapt up and happily skipped away to find the owner of the smell.

Waiting

Sentence 1

The children sat there, crouched in anticipation for the owner of the house to come home.

Sentence 2

The children halted as they approached the house. Waiting to see if someone was there.

Sentence 3

They delayed going into the house. Waiting.  Watching. Listening for any sign of life in the house of candy.

Dialogue

Sentence 1

“Are we lost?” Asked Gretel. “No, we are perfectly fine,” replied Hansel . They both looked up at the dark trees. “Can we go home?” begged Gretel. “I'm scared”. “No, I know where we are going”. Said Hansle. Even though he knew that they were hopelessly lost.

Sentence 2

“I'm scared,” commented Gretel. “Same but I know that we are not lost”.  Added Hansle. They continued through the forest. “ can we please go home” mumbled Gretel.” Everything will be fine, I can look after us”. Said Hansle. But they both knew that they could never go home.

Sentence 3

“ I think we go this way to get back home”. Said Hansle to his sister.” Do you know where we're really going?” asked Gretel. “Sure I do, I'll get us back home in no time,” Hansle replied. He tried to stay brave for his sister but deep down he was scared and lost as well.

Candy house and how it tastes

Sentence 1

The house glistened with sugar and the crystallized candy gleaned in the shafts of sunlight.  The lolly encrusted door beckoned to the children as well as the chocolate covered roof. Eager with hunger and overcome by the smell the siblings ran towards the house and dug in. Bombs of tart flavors exploded in their mouths and they happily sucked on the sweets that decorated the candy house.

Sentence 2

As the children approached the shimmering shining sugar made candy house they took a moment to take in the candy encrusted roof, walls and door. Then, they began to eat.  They ate and ate. Sweet candy, crunchy sweets and scrumptious lollies. The house had all of those and more. To the children, this was heaven. 

 Sentence 3 

The magnificent house sat there in the middle of the clearing. The patches of sunlight illmouning the sweets on the roof, walls and door of the candy house. The bright colors were a big contrast to the dark sorindings the children called a forest. The children ran to the house and began to eat. Hansel ripped big chunks out of the roof and doors ; Gretel pefred to delicately pick sweets off the walls. The children ate until they were satisfied. Then sat down to rest.

writing

Hi, welcome back to my blog. Today I will be showing you my writing plan and the first pharraph.

This is my plan.






This is the first paragraph

In a small town there was a small house. In the small house there was a little girl with humongous ideas and inventions. Her name was Mira. She was the best inventor in the town and was well known throughout other towns as well. Her inventions always worked and she would always put them to good use. One day she was fixing a roof that had collapsed in a storm near her town. It was a hot day and she came down to get some water. All of a sudden her surroundings went from cherry to pitch black, then, nothing. When she woke she was in a stone room. The light filled in from a window its metal bars rusting and turning a ruddy red color. Dark green vines cimed up the walls indicating how old the place was. The walls themselves were stone bricks and were covered in moss. Old decayed furniture was dotted in random places around the small room. Mira looked down and found herself in a new bed. It was about the only thing that showed that she hadn't traveled back in time.
