This term we are writing a lots of peoms and then Miss Hines will bind them into a book for us to take home. This week we have been doing limercks. I have completed to of them and here is one of them. What is your favourite type of poem to write?

MCD Report

 McDonalds Report

McDonalds is the second most popular fast food restaurant (after Subway) internationally, with 38,696 locations in the world. It is many people's first job. It is a restaurant that sells burgers to fries. You can dine in or go in the drive thru to

make your travel faster.

There are plenty of McDonald’s restaurants but there are 105 countries that don’t

have it. Jamaica, Yemen and Ghana are some of the 105 countries that don’t have

Mcdonald’s. In New Zealand McDonald’s is the most popular fast food restaurant

with around 1 million people visiting McDonalds every week. Which is ⅕ (20%) of our

population. 

On the McDonald's menu they have over 140 items you can buy. There are two

popular parts of Mcd’s. There is the main one Mcd and the other which is Mccafe.

Mccafe sells muffins to custard tarts. Mccafe sells hot and caffeine drinks as Mcd

sells fizzy and frozen drinks. The most popular food at Mcd is no other than the

fries. The BigMac is closely behind the hot chips. Most people will probably think

one of the top foods is the double/single cheese burger but it is the 9th most

popular. Did you know that Mcd is resling 4 new burgers and hot and spices nuggets

with hot sauce. The new burgers are the Mcplant, Spicy Crispy Chicken Sandwich,

Deluxe Crispy Chicken Sandwich and Crispy Chicken Sandwich. 

The first Mcd fast food restaurant started in San Bernardino, California in 1948.

The creators of Mcd were the McDonald brothers, Richard and Maurice.  The CEO

nowadays is Chris Kempczinski. In Porirua in Wellington in 1976 the first McDonald's opened in New Zealand. Now there is a care home where you can go if you need care help. The first care home was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States. It opened on 15 October 1974. 

McDondals is a good way to get food fast when you need it and it is accessible since it is in most countries. 

My Identity Poem

At the start of the year one of our task was to make a identity poem. We got to choose out of three different types of peoms. I made two different ones and the one I liked the most I diecded to post. Here is my poem I hope you like it.

My Monday Morning - Writing Create

This week we had to writing a Monday morning piece of writing. I found this
task easier than last week because we have been doing more of this type of
writing and it's getting more easier.

My Special Place Writing - The campervan

WALT: Visualise and describe an experience by showing not telling

For this task we had to write a story about your special place. I choose
the families campervan. 

I liked this task because you can tell but not show your special place to
others. I also like this task because you had to use the scenes. I would
give this task a 9/10

Hide and Seek - Poem

Here is my Hide and Seek poem I wrote. There is an animation
down below about this poem. Hope you like my poem.

3...2...1 Here I come!, 

Ssssshhhh! She’s coming! 

Climbing into the empty spa trying not to make a single noise 

Slipping and bruising my arm 

Closing the lid without a creak 

Lying flat down on the hard seats 

Below the lid in the empty abandoned spa  

Watchful not to bump our heads  

Not giving away where we are hiding  

Trying our hardest to be mute but we get the giggles  

Holding our breaths  

The weak smell of chlorine creeping up my nose  

Can’t even see a glimpse of my hiding buddies  

Only pitch black all around us  

But can feel their chilly skin up against mine  

Hearing their heavy breathing in my ear 

Can’t move anywhere  

Getting worst cramp in my leg every second   

Hearing Nana’s footsteps coming towards us  

Starting to feel claustrophobic 

Breathing heavier

Hoping Nana will look under the lid

Grateful to have hiding buddies

“Hurry up” 

Panicked she has gone inside  

Falling off the seat into the cool puddles on the bottom 

SPLASH!

Now getting wetter and colder  

Getting the giggles

Noisier and Noisier  

Nana overhears us giggling  

Opens the cover  

“Found you”

“Finally” I reply

of detail to match what Nana's house looks like.

School is shut for now 

Home is where I have to be 

I’m online learning 

Sleeping in is great 

I get to draw all day long 

Helping Mum with meals 

Can’t go past the gate

Not allowed to see my friends

Except on Snapchat

Yellow looks like fresh lemons from Poppa’s overflowing
lemon tree

Day

Yellow smells like butter popcorn as you walk into the
movies

Yellow feels like soft sunflower petals in the garden

Yellow tastes like melted butter over creamy mashed
potatoes

Yellow looks like a field of corn ready to get picked

Yellow sounds like a bee rushing back to the hive in time 

Yellow feels like happiness when you make someone laugh

Yellow feels like running around in your togs on a hot
summer day

Yellow looks like emojis you send to your friends

Yellow tastes like scrambled eggs on a Saturday morning

Yellow looks like bright stars shining at night

Yellow smells like Colby cheese in your ham and cheese
sandwich

Yellow feels like sitting in front of the of the fire on a
winter's day 

Yellow sounds like popcorn popping

a team.

Halloween Writing

This morning T4 had a very fun doing Halloween activities. One of the activities were write story of a puzzle your group made. Here is what my group came up with. Hope you enjoy.

Once there was a Gremlin who stumbled upon two large ancient gates. He decided to walk through them up the stone steps to a mysterious stone wall. The Gremlin thought the mirror was a door but it wasn’t, but he saw something, It was a girl who looked dead! He thought she might have been a player to but she failed the path. He decided to start the path. What will happen next?

Quick Write

WALT: Write a interesting sentences to describe.

It was finally the day, he couldn't take it anymore. SICK, SAD and MISSING HIS FAMILY. The expression on his face showed he needed to go back to where he belonged. I knew I would miss him as the brown spots that looked like collage art, made me feel safe. He has amazing black eyes, long legs and a fluffy brown tail. He was getting too big for our house, he had eaten all the grass, and had nowhere warm to sleep. It is too tough for him and not fair. I wish I could keep him but his legs were too long, he had grown too big.

Obviously Mum said we couldn’t keep him. Mum said it was a long walk and I had to keep pulling him because he was so tired. In the distance I saw his Mum, Dad and his sisters and brothers waiting for him. I told him his family was waiting for him but then he looked even sadder.  He realised that he couldn’t have both of us. Just through the fog I could see the shadows of his family. I was about to cry and then…. I couldn't take it anymore I was making a lake of tears I was sooooo sad.

I had to climb on his back to untie the rope. This was the worst day of my life. I would never forget him, I would never replace him. Goodbye my old friend.
