Today in writing we leanrt about the structure ofa simple sentence. There are 2 parts to a simple sentence: The subject and predicate. A simple sentence is also known as an independent clause because it contains one complete thought. Here is a example The cat sat on the mat try to figure out what is the sudject and what is the verb and what is the predicate.

Task Descaption: Today for Writing we had to watch a video then write ten things about it.

Kia Ora my name is Taina and I am 11 years old. I am a year 7 student this year and I go to Pt England School. My Teacher’s name is Mrs Lagitupu.  She has been teaching here for a long time. 

 

I am from the Cook Islands and Tonga. My favourite food is probably Burger King and my favourite sport is soccer and I love Christmas presents. The best holiday is christmas because I love presents but it is not about the present it is about spending time with family and friends.

My favourite thing to do when I’m bored is making paper stars and my favourite song is all the songs. My favourite celebrity is IDK.

 

I’m not yet sure what job I want to do in the future. I just want to help people that need it when I grow up. I might be a nurse or a therapist when I grow up. 

Make a copy and put it in your writing folder. The red text is an example so delete it once you have read it.

In Term 1 we had a picnic day and we had year 5&6 camp but my favourite thing we did was year 5&6 camp because It learned lots of new things like how to skateboard and kayaking and we did slip and slides I loved it and that’s what I like about Term 1.

 

Then in Term 2 we did Fiafia and like for the last 5 or 6 Weeks before Fiafia we had to practise our dance for 30 minutes. Before home time on Thursday and Friday every week when it was Fiafia night my mom said I could have 20 dollars.  For food oh and by the way I am in the  Cook Island group if you were wondering and we had to wear a crop top and I loved our dances and that was Term 2. 

 

Term three was the worst because we had cross  country and we had to practise running around the whole school twice but that was not

even the worst when  it was the real day it was twice as bad as the practise and my home colour was green.

 

Term 4 was the good but was not the best because of killer hill and was the worst hike I ever went on but we went on the hike just to see a freaking beach but it was kinda cool because I got a starfish they were saying it was poisonous but it was not poisonous at all and we did many new things and I liked camp it was a fun experience.
