What Flag Will You Choose?
Today in LS2 we voted for our flag that we wanted to chose.We got into our thinking groups and made a T-chart with a Tick (Change) or cross for (No change).In each column we put our reasons why we wanted to keep the current flag or why we shouldn't.LS2 learned how to make an inform choice.I choose to keep it because the flag we have is 27 million dollars and the money can go towards charity work or homeless people.I also picked no to change it because this flag holds New Zealand History with Anzac soldiers that fought for N. Z.

Writing an Orientation
It was early in the morning and I was having a lovely sleep until “SPLASH!” My cat Ginger suddenly jumped inside the fish tank trying to eat my fish Bubbles and his friend Gary. I quickly got up and tried to take him out but he was trying to eat Bubbles. “OUCH!” I yelled as Ginger bit me so hard my hand had little teeth marks near my fingers. He went under but I knew he wouldn’t last. MEOW! He was trying to bite bubbles but missed . I took Ginger out of the fish tank I immediately got a towel and put it over him.
In writing we worked on our orientation I made an orientation starting with the setting for example "As the sunset it was early in the morning". I used a picture prompt which has a cat in the fish tank. I learnt that in the start of the story you can use a hook, the setting, dialogue and action.

Quick Writes
“ I heard a loud explosion in the science laboratory what was that” I quickly ran to the main science room.The explosion I heard was as loud as a big gun shooting it’s target.I wasn’t allowed inside so I peeked through the window.They put something inside a big jar, “BOOM” the sound come back again I think they were trying to study baking soda reacting to a big giant class of vinegar.
Yesterday we edited our little story we made last week we used DRAFT (Delete,Rearrange,Add,Fix and Talk) to make our story sound better.I used Onomatopoeia,Fanboys,Adjectives and many more, to make my little story interesting.
