Emma's New Puppy!! 

Early in the morning a girl named Emma got a new puppy.

Emma’s new puppy was cute as a baby. But the problem was that the adoption centres care takers hated puppies.  They said they were filthy, foul, ugly things. They tried everything to get rid of the puppy but Emma wouldn’t let them.

One day Emma went to school without her puppy. The care takers took the puppy and put it in a tiny box then they took the box to the beach. Emma came home and looked high and low for the puppy but the puppy was nowhere to be found.

Emma took a walk down to the beach. Emma saw a strange shape under the bush just seeing a brown corner. Emma didn’t know what it was. Emma went over to see what it was. Emma said to herself, "What if it’s a.......... " Emma stopped talking she was so scared. Emma, brave as a lion, opened the box and found her puppy. She picked her up and held her so tightly and said, “I will never leave you again”.

Emma rushed back as fast as she could. Her feet were killing her. Emma got back and hid the puppy.

The next morning Emma found out that she was adopted. She was so happy she was jumping for joy. Emma asked her new parents if they loved dogs they said “Yes”. Emma quickly took the puppy and packed her things and left and never returned to the orphanage again.

AN EXPOSITION

CHILDREN SHOULD NOT DO HOMEWORK

 

I am in Year Four and I personally think kids should not do homework as we work all day at school. Besides, who likes homework?

The first reason children should not do homework is that children like to relax after school. If we lean over to do homework, we may get a sore hand or neck.

Homework takes up our playtime. Kids need to socialise with friends and family. If we don’t play outside, we won’t make good relationships.

Also teachers have to work hard marking homework. Be nice to teachers by banning homework.

I have better things to do in my time such as swimming, playing the piano, and practising percussion. Homework stops me doing these things.

Kids fight with their parents about homework. We’re supposed to love our mum and dad and fighting doesn’t show love.

As you can see, homework causes heaps of problems. Let’s ban it right away!

GRANDPARENTS DAY WRITING

My Grandparents

by Harry 4/5R

 

My grandparents are so loveable it’s too hard to explain. They take me on fun outings, they take care of me, and they show me and teach me new things and most of all I love them and they love me. My best memory with my grandparents was when Granny took me to the Maritime Museum. I went on a submarine, a war ship, and two pirate ships and still got me a souvenir. My Granny looks after me on Tuesday after school and my other Granny looks after me on Thursday. Both of them make dinner for every body. When I go to see my Great Granny she always insists on spoiling us and my Pop when I go visit at home he tells us funny stories. I help my other Poppy with painting and building stuff.  I love my grandparents so, so much and this is only some of the reasons.

My Grandparents

by Scott 4/5R

 

My Grandparents are really special to me because they take me to do stuff that other people don’t do. My Grampsy takes me fishing and my Grandma teaches me to knit and when I do something wrong they don’t have a hissy fit but there is one more reason.

 

They always come when something special happens even though they live five hours away. I love them and they love me and I could stay at their house forever.

Choice:  fruit or ...

Children should not eat fruit every day because they might not like the taste of it or you might not have enough money.  People might have allergies to fruit or it might take too long to eat or you might not have time to do any homework.

On the other hand, I think eating fruit is a good idea because it is healthy.  There's no fat in it.  There's a variety of fruits with lots of vitamins.  It tastes so good and it is so easy to carry and easy to eat quickly.

In conclusion, I think it is not a good idea to have fruit every day because some children have never eaten it before.

- Manpriya 4E

I think children shouldn't eat fruit every day because you will get sick and you will waste your money by buying fruit every day. 

Firstly, if you eat fruit too much you will vomit and you will feel sick.  Secondly, the fruit might be sprayed by chemicals or have sugar in it.  Thirdly, people can't afford it and people can be allergic to fruit.

I Think children shouldn't eat fruit every day.

- Rouda 4E

I think children shouldn't eat fruit every day because it costs too much money. 

Firstly it could be brown and rotten inside.  Secondly, people could be allergic to some types of fruit and have an allergic reaction.  Lastly, it's a waste of money because they take it to school or work and throw it in the bin.

In conclusion, I think people shouldn't eat fruit every day.  They should eat it when they feel like it and not every day.
