Grammarnastics Completed Task: 1

WALT: write speech marks into this story

Speech Marks

The English Lesson

It was Tuesday morning and I’d just walked down the stairs. “Have you done your homework asked my Nan?” “Oh no, I forgot!” I said. I felt worried because I knew that my teacher, Mrs Williams, wasn’t going to be very happy with me and might shout! When I arrived at school I went to first lesson. “What’s wrong with you Tyler?” my friend asked.”I forgot to do my homework last night and Mrs Williams is going to be cross,” I said

After break I walked into my English classroom. Mrs Williams was waiting. “What’s the matter Tyler?You look upset.” she said. “I’m very sorry Miss,” I said “But I haven’t done my homework.” “Why?Tyler” she asked. “I don’t know Miss, I just forgot,” “Well at least you’re honest Tyler and not telling lies!” Mrs Williams said. “If you finish it by tomorrow you won’t have a detention.” I felt much better!! “Why did I worry in the beginning?”

Persuasive Argument - Should Violent games be banned

Should Violent games be banned

These are games that need to be banned.

Well first I think these kind of games should be banned because they’re too violent for kids our age and other ages and if children play these sorts of games they’ll end up violent at a young age

Secondly children shouldn’t be playing these kind of games anyway because adults will end up not disciplining but will watch their children grow into young violent adults.

Finally families will become violent and they will end up creating gangs to try and get the community's attention and this will mean children getting involved and becoming violent.

These three reason on why we should ban violent games.

(By the way I made this picture on my netbook)

Charday & Chasity's Persuasive Writing

We are Responsible for the rubbish at our School

Dear : Principal of Tamaki Primary.

This needs to be dealt with. We think that we’re responsible for the rubbish we've produced.

Firstly the rubbish at our school can cause attraction to rats and mice which means diseases that could spread around the school. This also won’t affect just us but also the community around our school , which will also mean parents won’t get to work to make money to support their families and people will end up staying home sick.

Secondly if the wind blows the rubbish into the drains. This will mean the

drains will get blocked and we will have to get our school to pay a huge amount of money to try and unblock them. Do you want this to happen?

Our main reason is that our beloved caretaker Koro has to stay at school to try and pick up rubbish that we have left behind and that will mean he won’t be able to go home and spend time with his family. These are our reasons for why we think we should get rid of our rubbish.

My Writing Assessment - Narrative for Term 2

Name: Chasity

The lights went blank and the house was covered with a blanket of darkness. I heard scratching but couldn't see through the darkness. My mind slowly shut down because of the fear that was entering my insides. I listened out for voices but I couldn't hear anything. My arms slowly crept in front of me in a zombie position. They directed me as I walked through the hallway of darkness. The scratching noise came again. I looked around but obviously I couldn't see because it was dark. I could feel a draft kicking in. It got stronger and stronger. My bones shivered with coldness as the strong wind hit my body. A voice yelled in my ear “Go, go now while you have the chance!” I looked around but I could only see darkness. “Who are you? Leave me alone!” I yelled. The voice never replied.

A sudden gust struck my face as a calm voice called out to me. “Nick, Nick, Nick come here” I ignored the voice trying to fight the strong wind. My body slowly crept off the ground, it followed the voice. I closed my eye’s so I couldn't see. My eye’s slowly opened looking at a young lady. Her hair was blonde and was as long as a giraffe. Her face was as shiny as the sun that shone in the sky. Her body was as skinny as a twig. The young women cried. “Please help me, help me please”. I was terrified already. Her voice got deeper and deeper, my eye’s didn't want to look at the young lady that was now slowly disappearing.

Her whole body vanished. I was alone with nobody. My hands slowly moved underneath my leg as I laid on a bumpy old couch. My eyes shut and my mouth wide open.

Sun struck my face and birds chirped a sweet melody. I slowly opened my eye’s turning my head and looking at blurry views. My hands got into a fist position as I rubbed my eye’s. Dribble stuck to my face as I got out of the couch. I grabbed my ponytail re tying it again.

I looked around. My back aching with pain, I saw a door. I ran towards it, It got further and further as I ran faster and faster. My legs ached with tiredness running towards the unconventional doorway. It finally stopped. The ends of my fingertips touched the door handle as I reached out to open it. The door slowly opened. My eye’s stayed in place looking towards the driveway. I stared with an open mouth looking straight outside. I was frilled with happiness not knowing my house was next door. I left closing the door.

Narrative - The Magic Flying Carpet

The Magic Flying Carpet

Every picture tells a story.

Use your imagination and experience to narrate (tell) a story about the picture.

Where is the carpet going? Why?

What problem is caused? How is it solved?

Think about:

where your story is set
who your characters are - what they do, what they say, and how they think and feel
the problem and how it is solved
the order of your ideas and how they are linked.

Remember to:

choose your words carefully
take care with your spelling, punctuation, and sentences
edit-add or delete words or sentences to improve your work

It laid on the floor still covered with footprints that led to the lounge. The rug laid in front of the kitchen still and stiff not moving it’s thin soft body. A young mother had owned the rug but had thrown it out and gave it to a man friend of hers. He took the old smelly rug to his summer beach house that was half an hour from where the young mother had lived. The man that appeared to be nick, used his beer hands to scrub the stink and old rug. Nick used his strength to get the stench and mud off the rug he had got off his friend. He hung the newly washed rug on the washing line. Putting one peg on one corner and another peg on the other he left it to dry. The clock struck 7 o'clock. He followed his footprints towards the rug and took both of the pegs off. His toes ached with pain trying to stretched his way taller to take the rug off.

Nicks hands pulled the rug over towards the door. Te rug dragged along the polished floors leaving trails of marks. He laid his rug on the floor. Nick sat on the couch with his face towards the flat screen. Now this guy was rich and whatever he bought he owned for a long time. His eyes glued to his T.V as it persuades him to watch more and more. Time goes fast, Nick has his head in his cushion with his eyes shut and his mouth pouring with dribble. His alarm alerts him “It’s time to wake up, the time is 10 o’clock” “It’s time to wake up, the time is 10 o’clock” it repeats.

Nick wakes up not knowing he left his T.V on. His body slowly gets up and walks over to the bathroom. His blue dreamy eye’s looks into his new built in mirror. He smiles and his reflection smiles back at him. Nick turns his head and goes out the door leaving his white painted door open. He gets out a book and reads a poem, but he doesn’t know he’s actually saying a curse. That night as Nick is fast asleep. A light from the lounge glows bright. The light struck Nicks face, making him wake up. He followed the light into the lounge wondering if he forgot to turn his lamp off. The bright light gets brighter. Nick covers his eye’s hoping he doesn't lose his eyesight. His eye’s grow bigger as he looks at his rug. It’s in the air flying, Nick rubs his eyes thinking to himself “is this a dream or what?” He opens his eye’s still looking at his flying rug.

The rug floats from side to side as it flies through the house. A sound of silence echoed through the house. “I am your new mate now and you need to respect that”. spoke the rug. Nicks face turned into a shock of silence. “I know this is your very first time seeing a rug speak but you need to turn me into the normal rug I was before”. Nick mumbled something under his breathe “And how do I do that?” The rug answered the question “Do you know that poem you read yesterday?” “Yes.” Answered Nick. “You need to say it backwards” said the flying carpet. “Rugs are bugs flying in the night make this rug go back right”. murmured Nick. Nick looked back at his rug. “It worked!!!” He yelled. The rug now laid still and stiff in a thin position.

Nick walk towards his bedroom door looking back at his lounge checking if he turned off his lamp. His body slowly got back into bed. His eyes shut and his mouth left a loud noise.
