Can you guess this week's sound of the week?


The Writers' Window

In the weekend I watched Hot Chick and there was a name called April. It is my movie because I bought it with my own money. It was expensive. I got it because we bought it and we watched it. He went to the police car and got out and he went in a bush because he escaped. It was funny. He wasn’t in jail.
By Jake


My mum gave me a book. I like this book.
By Max


My brother sleeps all night. My brother is 9. How am I going to stop him coming into my bed? I know, I will use my stop sign I made because that will help.
By Codey


Once upon a time there was a fairy called Laura. She was a tidy fairy. The next day she went for a walk in the garden. She picked some roses. They were red. She did some rolly pollies down the hill. Then she went back to work. She had to do the dishes every day and the washing. She liked doing the dishes. After she watches tv she watches the cooking programme.
By Claudia

Room 17 has talent!

Yesterday Talei came to our classroom to talk about her job. She works at Toyota. First she gave us some clues about where she works. Then we told her what we call our cars. I call my car Daisy. She liked what I call my car, so she gave me a hat. Next she gave Jake a blue car. Finally she finished. I liked what she gave me because it was for me.

Yesterday Talei came to room 17. She talked about her job. Silver is the most popular colour. Jake got to keep a blue toy car. Finally she was done. I liked it because we got to look at some car books.
