Our Website

This is our website by Olivia, Madeleine and Me, called Are You Suspecting a Scam. We made this website so younger people can understand about money. The topic is the Rugby World Cup. This website shows three families going to the rugby world cup in three different places in New Zealand. The main topic is Literacy.

The Beach

There they are on the private beach, there next to the enormous shrub,with their beach umbrella. Their mum looking after her baby girl that's been born one year ago, wiping the vanilla ice cream that was on her face. The little girl cheerfully playing with her trinkets that she bought from home. The dad coming back from the jet ski ride he bought.

For the last few days we have been doing descriptive writing this is my story above.

Descriptive Writing

Even in the shadowy gloom of the starless night she could see fear blazing in his eyes like fire. It was no longer a cozy, tunnel-of-love sweetness, but a chilling isolation.

This is a descriptive piece I did when we did writing, we had to go to the library and find a book and flick through the book to find descriptive sentences and write it in our book and then turn it in to a paragraph using our own words this is my story above.

Touch Typing

Today our class had to do our touch typing test for our blogs, and before I kept forgetting to do it for practicing. And that's why I didn't get a good result has I did before.
