I said to them “Trick or Treat”. They gave us some yummy sweets. Next I went down to another house that wasn't spooky as the last house.
It only had spiders and a black witch’s broom. I knocked on the door and out came a black witch. The witch gave us some chocolates and chocolate candy pumpkins.

My Recount on Chop Sticks Challenge By Joshua



My Recount on Chopstick Challenge “Yay!” I said we were about to start our chop stick challenge. First Miss Paton tipped 3 wine gums in one bowl. Then Miss Paton went around the class and tipped the wine gums in each bowl. When she went around the class we started to play the chopstick challenge. First we had to pick up the wine gum and walk over to the end of the table. We had to take turns using the chopsticks and try to pick up the wine gum. When we finished we had to sit on the mat. Miss Paton said we were going to have another turn but we were going to have pebbles instead. Miss Paton was talking but me Riley, Brooklyn and Joel went to maths group. We missed our turn but luckily we had a turn using the chopsticks and the wine gums. After maths we went to morning tea. At the end of the day we had a chopstick challenge. Miss Paton and some helpers stacked up the tables together. We had to put two tables together. After Miss Paton put us into two groups. When Miss Paton put as into groups we started the chopstick challenge. First it was Sky’s turn. She was trying to get the pebbles in the bowl but she missed it. When it came to Avalon she missed too. When it came to my turn I was trying to pick up the wine gum in the bowl. When I picked it up I got the wine gum in the bowl. Then it was nearly home time but some people missed out. They didn't get a turn.


Today I have been doing a recount because we did chop stick challenge

We used chopstick to pick up the sweets from the first bowl and put it in the second bowl. The bowls were measured 1 metre apart. Ta'ani and Joseph's sweets were the closest to the bowl. Sky's sweet was 22cm from the sarting spot. Her's was the furthers to the bowl. But the whole class dident drop the sweets.

My Recount Poster By Joshua


Joshua

Yay! Yay! I shouted, as we were going to church for Trick or Treat. First we got ready in our costumes. I asked my mum “ Can I get dressed in black” I said. Since we got ready we hopped in the car and drove to church and we arrived late because we were waiting for someone to drop us to church but my sister dropped me and my brother to church.

We were looking for a car park so we drove where the trick or treat was starting at. We drove at a clear car park and we got out of the car and we sat down. When I sat down we were watching the lady that was beside Mr M and she told us about Mr M. When the show finished we went to all of the cars and we had to play a game to get the lollies but the balloons and cookies was for free. There was the game that we  had to throw at the boxs. I liked the car that was so amazing. The car I liked was: The Frozen car and I also I went to the Rugby car. We had to kick the rugby ball over the rugby post. If we win we had to go and get lollies from the rugby car. And the frozen car that was blue we had to guess why Elsa let the balloon go away?. Then we ate sausages and bread together and then we went home to eat but my mum was gone and we went down to my sister's house when we went there I ate some of my lollies. The Yellow fruit Burst lollies tasted like yellow banana and the lollies were hard as a rock.

After we ate the lollies we ate our noodles and sausages. It tasted yum when I put it in my mouth. It was the best day in my life!

 

Today I have been learning about a recount a recount has a orations and it is covered with Who, Why, How, What, When and Where.

My Recount Scaffold By Joshua


Beginning - this includes your hook. Start your recount with an exciting beginning that captures your audience interest levels
Yay! Yay! I shouted, we were going down to AMF Bowling and went to laser strike. Before we went to swimming. It was not bowling because my brother choose he wanted to go to laser strike because he likes to play with the guns.




Ensure your recount covers the orientation: When, Where, Who, What, Why and How

Set your recount out in a clear logical order and in paragraphs

Write in the past tense

Use lots of adjectives - (describing words) personal thoughts and feelings

Language Features such as similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia

Use connectives
The first thing was to pay for the laser strike we had to go inside the laser strike door first me and my family had a group's photo my sister took it. First we had to watch a laser strike movie  because we couldn't know how to play so when the movie finished we went into another doorway the man opened the door for us so we went past the door and my little sister was so scared because she thinks the guns were real but the gun was fake then we went out to the third door the third door means that we can start our game so we started the game. The team was blue vs red so the blue team had to shoot the red team and the red team had to shoot the blue team.
After we went to the Glen Ennis swimming pool we had to go into the boys dressing room so we went to  the dressing room and got our swimming togs and put them on. So when we got ready we went to the warm swimming  pool.




When we hopped in the warm swimming pool the warm swimming pool was like a warm hot pie and the water was not deep like the ocean


Conclusion
Sums up how you felt about the experience.




When we got home we had a birthday it was my brothers birthday my dad and mum stayed home to look after the cupcake and the cake we made a banana cake

3. What did you find easy?

I found matching the background colours against the fruit easy. I learnt to make the fruit look real.


4. What did you find difficult?
Think about sketching, shape, size, balance, painting-blending of colours, painting within the lines


I found drawing the grapes difficult because they look too small against the other fruit.

5. Who did helped you with your still life painting?
Miss Paton helped me paint my fruit and my background.


6. What would you change? why / why not?
Think about sketching, shape, size, balance, painting-blending of colours, painting within the lines

Joshua's Argument Scaffold

    By Joshua

Should we let people in the forest?
Introduction
State what you are arguing about
State your opinion
For or Against
My argument  is about should we let people in the Forest. I am against having people in the forest  because they might get hurt and have accidents in the forest and the forest might not be safe.
Reason 1
Lost / Hurt
Supportive  details
Cell phones- no reception

Hyperthermia-very very cold

dehydrated-
very very hot
We should not let people in the forest because they might be hurt by bad people or they might get lots of  mosquitoes on them. Also people will be hurt by wild animals. And if people climb up the tree and they would fall down and bang on the ground. People should not leave rubbish around in the forest.
Reason 2
Lost

Supportive details


People can get lost and very cold. They can get very thirsty and need a water bottle.
Reason 3
Fire

Supportive details
Hot weather-dry



Fire can cause lots of damage  and matches can make lots of fire.If there is a fire on the grass and the wind blows it it  is made it bigger.If fire can get on tents it can be everywhere.
People can be hurt on burnt on the skin.
Conclusion


Therefore I think there should be no one in the forest because they could hurt. And the forest could get hurtt.

Today we were doing argument Scaffold and I had some Ideas and some reason
