What did I do or WALT: What I was doing was writing about a time with friends and whanau. What I think I did well: I jumped straight into the story and I put more descriptive words. What I think I could do better next time: I could make the story a bit longer.

Recount: A time with friends.

“Splash” paint splatter all over the back of my head I turn around Boom Boom more paintballs flying out of the barrel towards me. I duck and fire the gun the bullets spray towards my cousin. He runs back to the tower and hides. I jogged after him to the tower he’s aiming the gun down the ladder to shoot me 5 minutes left to go my uncle said. Ok my cousin and I yelled I was peering through the gaps of the wood waiting for him to come down. Then I saw him peeking through the gaps saw I grabbed my gun and fired. I hit my target right in the face victory is mine.

Woosh there i go down the bluff in Waitangi i was going fast as a ostrich. I was scared as you would be in a  haunted house. I put my legs out and car was next to  me. When i put my legs out hit my foot on the tire and to make it even worse i had no shoes on. when  my feet hit the rubber of the tire my feet . It felt like a element on  the stove ouch!!!!! i shouted. I started feeling dizzy.  my head felt like a drum in a marching band. i started to to rub my foot that got burnt from the tire.  There was red as rash on my foot. It was red as a red pencil that you colour in with. So then i told the driver that burnt my foot my dads phone number. my dad rushed from work and came to check on me. My dad called the ambulance. 111 emergency fire, ambulance or police. My dad replied “ambulance please”. And the they they talked away like a bunch of chatter birds. They came to the bluff and they put me in the ambulance truck. And drove off to Kawakawa Hospital. When i got there it was 2:00 pm. I had to stay there for Three nights.

My reflection 

What did I do or WALT: what I  was doing Is that I was writing a time when I was either sick or got hurt. I chose about a time when I got hurt.

What I think I did well: what I think I did well was that I put interesting and descriptive words In It.

What I think I could do better next time:  what i could do better time Is that I could put  more detail and words In It

What I enjoyed about It: what I enjoyed about my writing Is finishing It and re-reading I.  I felt really proud

DeBonos Hats We have been learning about the flag referendum, we learnt about how people felt about the flag being changed and how it affected people. I think I did well in gathering facts and information. I think I could make it better next time by getting more information on the positive side about the flag being changed. I enjoyed gathering all the facts and information and sorting it out into different coloured hats e.g. positive, negative, feelings, thinking, creativity and facts.

Today I learnt to jump straight into the Story. I thought I did well but I still think I have to work on more Precise Words

I was scootering down the pathway and tripped on a bump. Blood came gushing out of my hip splating everywhere. I yelled for help then help arrived. It felt like someone was stabbing my hip with a Knife. I covered my deep graze with my T-Shirt hoping it would stop.

As I tried to walk home my graze kept getting soarer and soarer. “I can't wait till my pain stops” I said. It was getting worser now feeling like a Machete when I walk. The pain was killing me.  .

I was investigating different schools and how their environment were set up to support their students to learn and develop new skills while sitting in a classroom.
