I was an Apprentice.

I’m beginning to communicate about my inquiry learning.

Next time I need to write my instructions as instruction not facts.

Writing

I notice sentence structure…

When I read I will notice short sentences and name the nouns and verbs used.

I describe vocabulary … 

I can name an object and talk about how it moves using precise verbs.  

Before

writing workshops we chose a writing workshop to go in. There was narrative and poetry. I chose poetry because I like to rhyme things and I wanted to carry on learning about poetry.This term I have been learning about poetry with Mr Wallace. We went outside to find an Autumn object. We smelt,listened,touched and looked around to find something autumy.Then we came in to brainstorm words about Autumn. We looked up words to do with Autumn. Then we drew a sketch of our object and rote a poem about Autumn. Mr Wallace taught us about sketching so we didn't stuff it up. We edited it by checking our spelling and then coloured it in and added in a poem that we rote. Then we took a photo of our drawing. We used our iPads to put it on blogger.

Here is my drawing and poem.

We had to do a story about three things a key,duck and jandel.

This is my story

Once there was a duck called Roopert. He had yellow webbed feet,blue feathers under his wings,black legs,orange beak and the rest of his body was white. One day he found these weird things. It said”flip flops”. Roopert thought for a bit and then tried them on. Roopert wore on his head,it didn't feel right. Then he tried it on his wings and then tried to fly. It made him sink. Then he tried it on his webbed feet. It felt just wright. So he walked around his pond bragging and showing off about his new flip flops. People came to feed the ducks and they were throwing bread in the water. Roopert forgot about his flip flops and jumped in the water. He was enjoying the bread the bread so much. Then he saw a girl with flip flops on and remembered about his flip flops. He rushed to shore and saw a turtle wearing them.

“Excuse me Mr turtle but I think those flip flops are mine”,said Roopert.

“Oh no they're not”,said turtle.

“Yes they are I left them on the shore”,said Roopert.

“Well you're not getting them”,said turtle.

“This turtle is very rude “,thought Roopert. 

So Roopert slapped the turtle in the face.

“Ha take that loser”,said Roopert.

And stole the flip flops off him and wondered off. Then Roopert flew on to the top of a building and found a key. It had numbers on it. The numbers were Rll49. What could in possibly open or unlock? Roopert walked back to his pond still looking down at the key in his wing.

“What are you looking at Roopert”,yelled a duck.

Roopert didn't reply. He just kept on walking until… THUD! Roopert fell straight on his face. He looked back and saw a handle sticking out of the ground. So he got a spade and started digging around it. After he dug it,he pulled it out and it had the same numbers on the key. It was a chest,a heavy chest and a large chest. Roopert hiffed the key in and twisted it this way and that way and then finally it opened.

“OMG”,said Roopert.

It was a chest full of duck food. He had to hide it from the other ducks. So he went home and got a wagon. He went back to the place and got it. Roopert raced back home and slammed the door.

“Few”,said Roopert puffed.

He opened the chest and started scoffing his face with duck food.

“What a life”,Roopert said.

It lasted him six years. He broke the world record of the fattest duck.

Writing 100

Once I was at paint ball and while we were playing Bob Marley came down on a pink fluffy unicorn with a cool as paint ball. It was a sniper rifle but it had a scope on it,it had a pump action and a stand. He was singing "pink fluffy unicorns dancing on rainbows". Bob Marley and the unicorn just kept on singing the same song while shooting us. He had hard as pellets. The unicorn pooped out rainbow droppings. The two demolished everyone who tried to shoot them. They only got shot about four or five million times together.

Writing 100 is when you have to write 100 words about anything. But it has to be exactly 100 words,not one less, not one more.

The story about the overweight water melon who liked to hide in trees.

There was once a watermelon who liked to hide in trees. The watermelon always got found in a tree when they played hide and go seek.

"HOW DID YOU FIND ME!" The watermelon shouted.

The watermelon was fat and overweight. One day when he was hiding in his typical tree and then... SNAP! The branch broke because he went too close to the edge of the branch. Apple was right below him and watermelon squashed him. Apple was the finder and watermelon was the first one to get found again. He began to get fatter and fatter bigger and bigger. He was fat and overweight because he ate junk food,watched T.V all day and the only outside thing that he did was play hide an go seek. The reason why he hid in trees was because he was too lazy to stand up or run around.His friends are all the berries,all the melons,peach,pear,plum,nashi pear,apricot and banana. All of his friends thought that he was fat and overweight. At the age of 1,001 he died of fatness.
