Ouch!

One of our writing prompts this week was "A time I hurt myself". It turned out to be a really accessible and interesting topic to write about! Here are a couple of examples, and the rest will be displayed in the class by the end of next week.

Getting Run Over by a Bike

by Gamu

My sister and I decided to have a race. I was not on a bike and my sister was on a bike. I said, "On your marks, get set, go!" 

I ran down and my sister pedalled as fast as she could. Suddenly, the dog next door barked loudly. I got a surprise and fell down. My sister tried to stop and ran over me.

But I got up, and told my dad the dog scared me and my sister ran over me. My knees were grazed and my hands were scraped. My sister said "Sorry," and I said, "It is ok, the dog really scared me." My dad said "It will dry." It was a very sore experience!

The Walking Dead

by Alannah

I was filled with excitement as I skipped to the playground. I was walking to the playground with my friend Alea. I was in Hong Kong!

When we got to the playground the first thing I wanted to do was go on the monkey bars! A smile spread across my face as I went bar to bar. I didn't hear my friends saying, "You're going too fast!"

Crash! "Ow!" I said as my friend's mum drove me to the hospital. My tears fell like hail. When we got to the hospital they x-rayed my arm. Finally they announced that I broke my arm! They gently put a cast on it and sent me home. Now I know that I have to take my time on the monkey bars. 

Crashing into a Rock

by Jacob

One day I was bike riding. I was at some kind of park with my Grandpa. When I wasn't looking, I crashed into a rock. Bang! Ow! My tummy was hurting. Grandpa laughed, but I felt shocked! Then I picked up my bike and went home.

Dog Bite

by Saku

When I was a baby I was at my Grandma's house. Her dog bit my face! I went to the hospital.

Ouch!

by Kingston

There I was, walking and playing on my dad's phone at the same time. I was going to New World, when Donk! I had just walked into the glass door of New World, like a bird. 

I felt so dizzy from my smash to my head. It had only closed 18 minutes ago. Why didn't we go before? 

I felt so embarrassed. All the staff were laughing at me, even my dad was. My cheeks blushed. I said to myself, "I wish I hadn't played on my dad's phone!"

We can do it with our eyes closed!

What do you think these children are doing?

No, I didn't just happen to photograph everyone mid-blink...as an introduction to our work on 3D shapes the children are taking turns to hold and describe wooden shapes, using their sense of touch to establish how many sides, corners and faces each shape has. Their partner noted down what they said. 

Sandwich Time

On Thursday we got busy making sandwiches! First we wrote and published instructions on how to make a sandwich that we like. We brought along the ingredients, then the recipes were swapped and we were assigned someone else's instructions to follow. We got to taste the sandwich they made, plus the one we made, plus a few others...
