"Patterns In Nature"


This is a reading task about patterns in nature. The photos are patterns of Animals,Patterns,Plant Patterns and Patterns in the landscape. My reading group had to go on the Internet and find pictures of patterns. It was fun because I liked searching for cool photos for my reading task.

Peace Senses Poem



I am learning to write a Poem about Peace One Day using my senses.
I am so proud of being able to describe what Peace feels like, tastes like and sounds like.
It can be tricky to describe what I am thinking and feeling.
My buddy can help me by giving me some ideas.
The next step for me in my learning is to write another Peace Poem.

"Here We Go"

“Here We Go” By Reece
Its 3:45am. I was crammed into a rowing boat like sardines in a can. I was terrified. I was loading my gun up. All I heard was BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! I did not like it, not one little bit. It was very hard to see where I was. The only light that I could see was the moon.

I was nervous.  I didn’t want to die. My arms were shaking and I had butterflies in my tummy. Sweat was dripping down my neck like it was raining. All around me I heard soldiers screaming and dying.

From the start. I wanted to go to war because I thought it would be an awfully big adventure. But now I wish I never came to war because I am now about to die…….

Reflection
I am learning to write an interesting recount.
I am so proud of making my recount interesting by using similes and adjectives.
It can be tricky to find the best similes to use in this story.
My buddy can help me by checking my work.
The next step for me in my learning is to write an even better recount.
