The Stone Cottage- by Erich

Learning Intention; we are leaning to write a recount.
Success Criteria: I am successful when I can  write a recount about our visit to the Stone Cottage using adjectives. 

We visit the Stone Cottage and I saw lots of old things. The first thing I saw in the stone cottage were  beds in the bedrooms with white blankets and pillows.There were dolls that looked creepy in  the cots.

There was a teapot that was small, black and very old. It is made of metal. I also saw an old, red bike with three wheels and it was very rusty. Children of the fencibles rode on it to go to school.
  
In the kitchen, there were chairs that were old  and  rusty around the table. There was a fire place there,and they use a wooden bellow to keep the fire going and to cook their food. 

Timeline of the Mission sister - By Erich

Going Swimming

In the holidays I went to my swimming lessons with my mum and my sister.  My sister's name is Ericka and she is older than me.  Everyday I went swimming at 9:00 am.  I swam in the indoor swimming pool.  The outdoor swimming pool has not opened yet because it is too cold.  At the big pool Matthew, Jamie, Nino and Giselle swam.  They go to my school.  Matthew and Jamie are in my class.  I like swimming a lot.  

Swimming With My Friends

In the weekend I went to the Y-Swimming School.  I can swim n the swimming pool.  Sometimes we go to another pool at the swimming pools because I  go there to play with my friends Giselle, Matthew and Jamie.  

My teacher, James, can swim very fast.  My bathing suit is pink and my goggles are blue.  I wear swim goggles to stop the water making my eyes red.  I had a good time swimming with my friends.

Poem: Swimming

In Room 1 we are learning to write poetry.
Today we were inspired by reading the book called 'The Giant of Ginger Hill' to write a poem about going to the pools. Our inspiration came from reading about the Giant trying on some flippers.  We know that flippers are for swimming not for walking.  We all like going swimming with our families.

Swimming

I like to swim
I do it with a grin
On my face.

I like to kick
I am so cool 
That I never sink.

I like to dive
Into the pool.
It makes me feel alive.

I like to stay cool
In the Panmure pool.
