Recount Writing-At Taipa

WALT to use the correct structure and language for Recount Writing.

16/10/2017

At Taipa

On Sunday afternoon me, nana and my 2 uncles went fishing in Taipa. When we got there first me and my uncles had to get the rods. Next I put the bait on my hook. When I was ready to catch a fish I walked down the ramp. I put the line in the water. I was waiting for some bites. After that I caught a fish. It was a butterfish. I felt great.

Later on my uncles came down. They put their rods in the water. Then one of my uncles caught a fish. The fish was a butterfish too. Then I had to put my bait back on because my line ran out of bait. So nana put the bait back on. I put my line in the water. Then my 2 uncles got 2 fish on their lines. They got 2 more butterfish and Dantay got 2 Puriri.

After that we went to have lunch. Me and nana and David went to get the lunch from the fish and chip shop. We got fish and chips. When our food was ready we went back to where we were fishing to eat our kai. It was delicious.

Finally we went home. It was an amazing day.

Persuasive Writing: We should drink water every day.

WALT to use the correct structure for Persuasive Writing.

We should drink water every day

I think we should drink water every day.

Firstly I think we should drink water every day because when it's hot you lose water. When you sweat, the water comes out of your body. You need to drink water to fill your body back up.

Secondly I think we should drink water every day because when you get hot you need to cool your body down.

Another reason why I think we should drink is because water is better then any other drink because the other drinks have too much sugar and water has no sugar.

Lastly I think we should drink water every day because it helps us to swallow our food properly and it spreads all the nutrients from the food we eat, all around our body.        

So that’s why I think we should drink water every day.

Persuasive Writing-Kapahaka is important to learn.

WALT use the correct structure for Persuasive Writing.

20/09/17

Kapahaka is important to learn.

I think that kapahaka is important.

First I think kapahaka is important because it helps us to learn Te Reo Maori. When we sing the songs we sing in Te Reo Maori.  

Secondly I think kapahaka is important because we learn how to keep the beat when do the actions and waewae takahia.

Another reason why I think kapahaka is important is because we learn to sing in tune.

Lastly I think kapahaka is important because so we can keep remembering the songs and actions and we never forget them.

So that’s why I think kapahaka is important.
