Sad Moment Recount T4

 Sad Moment RecountInside Out | Costume Playbook - Cosplay & Halloween ideas


WALT: recount a personal experience using correct sentence punctuation and sentences which make sense to the reader.


One  windy day I was getting ready for school. Then my mum told me that my grandpa was going to the hospital. I was so sad that I was crying in front of my mum. So my mum thought that I would be best if I went with my family to the hospital.


So we went to the hospital. When I got into the elevator I was nervous to see my grandpa because I never knew that he was going to hospital.  I was so sad that I didn’t even say a word to him.


 Then we all said our goodbyes and left the room. Then I started to calm down. I felt a lot sad without my grandpa because he was my best friend. 

The next day we went back to the hospital after school.

 Happy Moment RecountHow to Be Happy: 8 Ways to Be Happier Today

On a sunny Sunday I was getting ready to go to the pools. Then I got worried because normally I would say good morning to my grandpa. Then I saw that he was not in his room. So I searched around the whole house.


Then I saw that my dad was not at home either. So I started to ask everyone in the house and they all said the same thing ‘’I don't know’’. So I went to the front yard and nobody was there. But all the cars from my family members were there so where could they be.


Suddenly my mum started calling me and my brother. My mum told us to go to the backyard to see what was there.so me and my brother marched to the backyard with excitement.


Then me and my brother were amazed by what hard work my dad and grandpa had done. They have built a trampoline. We were so happy that we strait away jumped on the trampoline and couldn’t stop. We were so happy that we had big smiles on our faces.

Writing - Famous Artists

      A famous Masterpiece



On a sunny afternoon there was a girl with her dog in a room. The room was filled with things everywhere. The girl was an artist and wanted to draw a robot that she could make. Then she started to get frustrated over the picture of the robot she had drawn.


 Then she kicked her back from the table she was drawing on and threw her pencil on the ground. Next with tears in her eyes the girl saw that the dog picked up the pencil that she threw on the ground and gave the pencil back to her. Soon the girl had an idea.


 The idea was to make a robot dog!!!! Soon Later she started to sketch the dog. It took for hours to get the sketch until it was done, but the dog robot was perfect. Then the dog robot was made and it was terrific. The robot dog was just a picture that the girl had drawn.
