My First Day Of School

Stumbling into Tamaki primary school grounds, I felt like dropping. I tug onto my mum as she talked to my new teacher (Miss Sharma). I hid behind her feeling apprehensive. My heart pounded as the kids politely asked if I wanted to play a game. Excitement rushed through my veins, but that all changed.

The bell rang, I stood in the middle of the classroom, shy and wondered what to do? I didn't want to talk to anybody. Obviously that meant I didn't want to go to school. Students in my class were annoying, they would sit and stare at me while I was completing my work.

Morning Tea passed and I finally made a new friend (Lavinia). During maths time I didn't feel lonely. It was great to have a new friend. All of a sudden I heard the lunch bell ring. My friend and I grabbed our lunch and headed straight out the door. It was absolutely good to be out of the classroom, especially when you feel like you've been working for hours.

After lunch time it was time to relax and listen to the teacher read a story. “Almost home time”, I said to myself. Wanting to go home I waited until the bell rang. Finally it rang, that was the time I felt really happy.

T.M.S Show Not Tell

She stared at the blue envelope, resting in her hand “Another letter, number 22”, she said in a nice voice. As she stumbled on the cracked concrete, she looked up at the house and noticed paint fading, broken tiles, cracked windows, cobwebs everywhere and a whole lot of dead flowers in the garden. I knocked on the door and gulped.

After a while it was slowly opened by an old man with a walking stick, and a long white beard. I reached out and handed the note to him without saying a word. He stared at the letter and looked surprised. “Follow me”, he said in a calm voice. As we walked down the hallway it was dark and spooky.

Immersion Assembly Writing Sample

We were given 40 minutes to write about a good memory, then put it up on our blog.

Immersion Assembly

The hall was filled with students, teachers and even parents that had came to watch the immersion assembly. Everybody wanted to know what they were going to be learning about this term. We all ended up finding out that“What In The World Is Going On” was our topic for this term. Excitement quickly travelled around the hall.

Finally it was time to watch the performances that the teachers had prepared for the first day of term 4. May I tell you that they were pretty funny, every show was funny in their own way. When it was team 3’s turn they had an amazing show and even handed out pancakes.

There were heaps of different shows about different things, which made it interesting. Overall the immersion assembly was really funny. “What In The World Is Going On”, now that’s something to investigate.

My two goals- Use more interesting words, Show not tell.

My two things I did well- Used variety of sentences, had good punctuation.
