Begin here:

I am driving in the boat, making my way to the island.

I am pulling over to the side to stop the boat, so I can get out and explore.

I turn the boat off and jump out to tie the boat up, i tie the boat and pull my gear out.

I pull all my stuff out and make my way over to the apartment.

As I walk I feel so heavy and sore of holding my heavy bags, for only an amount of seconds.

I am standing at the door, I pull my keys out and unlock the door, the door opens so I pick my stuff up and walk inside, to unpack all my gear.

I unpack my gear and walk over to the draws and put all my stuff in.

I put my food in the cupboard by my bed and put my clothes in the draws, I put my shoes under the bed and put my papers on my desk.

I finish unpacking my stuff.

I look out the window and I see people sitting down under the shade by the tree, they are talking to each other.

I grab my keys and walk out the door, I lock the door and walk around to explore what this island is like, and what it looks like and meet new things and new people.

As I walk I see people walking past and sitting down, I say ‘hi what's your name? They say my name is Nessa and my name is Ana, we talk about looking at the island water and talk about myself.

I tell them that I am knew to this country, I say but I am only here for the week, we finish talking and I say sorry but I have to go, they say where are you going and I say i am going to explore around this island.

They ask if they can come so I say yes please of course you can please come and enjoy with me.

We all walk together and go around to explore, I see trees and the nice cool blue clear water and the soft sand, I see little buildings with people in them, I also see the people play voli in the water.

‘Time passes’ so ‘I say nice to meet you thank you so much for helping me i'll see you tomorrow because I have to go and eat have a shower and go to sleep.

Reading - Reflect on how reading went this week.

I learnt this week for Reading - How to do a strategy practice

I also learnt how to Re-tell a story.

I think reading was alright.

This story is about wolves making pigs lives harder, it is about wolves blowing down their houses.
It is like a story you've probably heard before but made a bit differently.
Here it is below.

Strategy Practice!

I can Re-tell a story!

• The wolves will blow the house down.
• The pigs will get angry and try to kill them.
• The wolves might chase the pigs and throw them in the garbage bins.
• The wolves will might keep blowing their houses down and might spy on them to wherever they go.
• The pigs might make a big plan to set up a trap to the wolves and fake of making a house but make their other house somewhere private.
• The wolves will probably won’t find out their actual house the pigs are building.
• The pigs might have a happily ever after.

Writing - What is in the sea water, what does it do?

I found this task fun, because I got to learn new things about what happens in the water.

I learnt that the sea water gives us oxygen.

I found this task fun.

What’s is in the water, in the sea, what does it do?

In the water there are animals, like sharks fish Sea snails & lot’s more.

There are also animals like marine turtles and others.

There are things like seaweed corals, rocks and shells in the water.

Others such as starfish, dolphins, killer whales and much more.

The animals that live in the water actually help us humans, because humans eat sea animals they are called food, to humans.

The animals help the sea water, they help the water by going certain ways.

They also help the water a living home, to themselves.

The water is very important to the animals because they need it to breath, they can’t live without water.

The sea water helps us humans to breathe, the water gives us humans oxygen.

The water also helps by giving  good new nutrition.

Sea water may also help to hydrate and improve the appearance of your skin.

Bathing in a magnesium rich dead sea salt, the solution helps your skin moisture.

Sea water is good for all things, such as humans and animals.

There are only seven seas in the world….
