The Day An Alligator Popped My Tyre

Once upon a time there was a boy. He went to New Orleans. He went to the BMX track. An alligator went past and he went on the jump. The boy went down the hill and he went up the hill. Pop! "Ow! My tyre has popped,"said the boy. He ran to his mum. He yelled, "Mum....Mum. I saw an alligator. "What do you want me to do?" said Mum. "Can we go home now," said the boy. "OK, we will. said Mum.

They sped off home safe. They won't go back to that BMX again.

What A Disaster

What a disaster! There's been an oil spill in America. It is a disaster for America. Some of the birds and fish might die. Some people might loose their jobs because some people have jobs as fishermen and go out to sea and catch fish.

The Oil Spill In America

Oh no.

Guess what? There has been an oil spill  in America. How sad. The cool fish and birds might die. What a disater. How terrible.  Lots of people might lose their jobs. Maybe other sea life might die too. I am anxious. I am like the saddest person in the world because I like birds and fish.

My Weekend

I went to the tackle bullrush. There was Deon, Riley and Josh.  Deon and Riley all got to the other side. Josh and I didn't get tackled. But me and Josh didn't get past on the second round. I tried to be Josh's body guard. We got tackled then we tried to get Deon out. I tackled Riley and he was all right to stand up and tackle other dudes.

Rugby on Saturday

In the weekend I played rugby. We versed Temuka. We won. I got two tries. Jack got 5 tries. Josh got one try. The score was 55-10 to us. It was so much fun. There was someone half the size of me and I tripped him to the ground. At the end of the game I was happy. We kept on tackling people when the hooker was going to pass the ball. We did not kick the ball in the game. My finger got stood on with metal sprigs. Josh got kicked in the eye. I think we will win every game. We might loose one I don't know. I will have to play every game to find out.

Diary writing in Room 8

We are trying very hard to use punctuation well in our writing and make our stories interesting for an audience. 

Here is Riley's story.

On Sunday Dion my friend came to my house. We had great fun because Dion and me went to the park and the dairy. On Saturday I got to see him again because I play rugby for his team. We played turnover. We won. The score was 5 to 10.

My Best Day Ever

On Saturday it was the best day ever. Do you know why? I got to play soccer. I felt excited. We won the soccer game. It was 4 points to us and 3 to them. In the second half I was goally. I saved about 30 goals. I  got 2 goals. It was fun. I felt rapt. I went down the wing a lot. It was our first game of the season. We have turns at all of the positions. We had a big get together after the game. I had McDonalds for lunch. It was beautiful.
