Monday Mornings

I am learning to write a introduction that hooks in my audience. Here are 3 verses. Which Monday morning introduction do you like and why.

1.
Did you know that there are 52 Mondays in a year. Out of those 52 miserable Monday morning, us kids have to wake up for school on 40 Mondays. Its a good thing that we don't have to school all the time.

2. Do you know what day I hate the most? If you guessed Mondays, your absolutely right. To me, Monday mornings are a nightmare.

3. Another Monday morning. All I wanted to do was sleep, sleep, sleep. Suddenly I heard my Dad shout, “Lisia, get out of bed and get changed for school.”

Me



I like swimming.
But I don’t like drowning.

I like the rain.
But I don’t like getting wet.

I like the Internet.
But I don’t like it when it doesn't work.

I like volley ball.
But I don’t like getting hit on the head.

I like painting.
But I don’t like getting painted on.

I like my bedroom.
But I don’t like cleaning it up.

I like dogs.
But I don’t like dog pooh.

I like riding bikes.
But I don’t like falling off the bike.

The Kingfishers



Do you know what bird I'm going to be talking about? If you guessed The Kingfisher, your right. Kingfishers live in the wild, so if you want a pet kingfisher then you have to go into the wild. The kingfishers plumage is brightly blue coloured. It loves to eat insects, bugs and grasshoppers. One more little information you should know is that the Maori name for kingfisher is Kotare.

My Holiday


“It’s the holidays now, let’s go to the Beach.” In the holidays my Aunt and step Mum thought it was a great to take me, my three sisters and two cousins to the beach, everyone got really excited.Before we went to the beach we had to pack our swimming togs and food. We were ready to go to the beach.

When we got to the beach me, my sisters and my cousins ran in to the water and started swimming, the water was freezing cold but then it got warmer.


When we got back home everyone went straight to sleep.

Ice Cream Comet's



Wow have you ever had ice cream with lots of topping? room fifteen has. We made ice cream comets with Mr Marks.

When everyone came in from playing we saw a big box of icy cold chocolate flavoured
ice cream, chocolate sprinkles and different flavoured cookies. We didn’t know what we were going to do. Then Mr Marks told us we were going to make ice cream comets.

Since a comet is made out of ice and dust, we used the ice cream as the ice and the cookies and sprinkles as the dust. I thought making ice cream comets would help us remember what comets are made out of.

The equipment we used were forks, an ice cream scoop, a rolling pin, some plastic bags for the table and another plastic bag for the cookies. Mr Marks used the ice cream scoop to scoop up the icy cold ice cream, we used the forks to keep our ice on the cone, we used the rolling pin to smash, bash and crush the cookies into shattered pieces and the plastic bag was used to put the cookies inside it, so we can smash it.

Mr Marks handed out some cones, as soon as everyone had a cone Mr Marks scooped out the first ball of icy cold chocolate ice cream. All the students in class wanted to get the first ice cream. When the first person had dunked their ice cream into the dust, everyone had impatient stomach’s. When I ate my ice cream comet, I had different textures in my mouth.

At the end we were all scavenging for more. When we finished, there were lots of muddy tools on the fish. I enjoyed slurping my ice cream comet and I also enjoyed dunking my ice cream into the yummy rocks and dust.
