WALT write a vivid description of a character.

RAMPAGE!!!! Crack carack as Pooky's hard white egg shell on his head made a HUGE crack. Out popped Pooky the potty pipsqueak with his glossy pink cheeks that feel like lipstick you could probably even rub it on your lips. Also he has got such a huge big smile he could probably gooble you up ! With Pooky's big round red nose he could probably smell a mile away and see what you are hiding in your pocket. Swish swish can you hear that? Well that is the noise of Pooky's short stubby tail going side to side as he dawdles. Pooky has also got a light beaming green body "ahhhhhhhhhhh" it is so bright it is burning my eyes!

Down within make belive valley lives the really small little fella Pooky. He absoloutly LOVES action figures you could maybe even see him curled up in his dark gloomy black cave playing with them! Chomp chomp Pooky is chomping away at Jurasssic bark mmmmmmm crunchy. Eww yuck saussage skins Pooky absoloutly hates them so don't get to close to him with those! Squeaky clean hands for everyone exept Pooky he hates washing his really small paws for dinner.

"ROAR" goes Pooky if you make him angry he will change into a giant dinosour so if you make him watch out because things will about to go really nasty! Waddle waddle that is the noise of Pooky's tiny tiny feet going North,East,South and West but it takes him a long time because he is small and his feet are small it would take him about 2 or more hours!

Paris,England,New zealand,USA "I wonder what that would look like" whispered pooky to himself. "Traveling on a plane would be cool" Pooky would LOVE to travel around the world,but the only thing is scince he takes small steps and can't run very fast he can never catch the plane in time,also it would take him about 100 years to go there and back!

Mmmmmmmmmmmm delisious thought Pooky as his tummy grumbled as he smelt snuffle berry pie drifting out the window."Ha ha laughed Roary Scrawl the other dinosour at Pooky's school who bullied everyone."Your so small ha ha" Oh no ROAR growled Pooky."Um Roary turn around "Guys why are you so scared" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh screamed Roary and his friends.

As soon as they left Pooky shrunk and shrunk and shrunk to his cute little self again! Whenever you meet the silly,playful chubby little guy Pooky watch out because he has a couple of tricks up his sleeves even though he does not have any!

Speaking and Listening
WALT write and present a persuasive argument. <span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 160%;">Listen to me make my speech. media type="custom" key="9640906"

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">“Splash splash splash” as I dive into the shallow cool water on a sizzling Summers day isn’t there nothing better than that! Swimming is a great sport because it helps you know the importance of water safety, it makes your muscles fit and strong and can help people with asthma.

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">As a result I think everyone should do swimming because then you know the importance of water safety it teaches people not to panic in the water so then you will be safe. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">People should know how to swim or otherwise you might drown. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">It teaches you the breathing patterns. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">It is also very important for parents to remind young children to stay safe around the water. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Did you know that a study conducted by the National Institute of Health reveals that participation in formal swimming lessons is associated with an 88% reduction in the risk of drowning for children between ages 1 to 4 which demonstrates that providing young children with swimming lessons has a protective effect against drowning.

<span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">I believe people should do swimming because it can also make you fit and healthy. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Children exersise on a regular basis often do better in school, sleep better, don't feel as tired, less likley to get hurt while exercising and stronger than less active kids. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">Exersise also relieves stress and helps promote good behavior. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">There are two types of exersise aerobic and anaerobic when you do a aerobic exersise such as walking, running, swimming, inline skating,j umping rope, playing soccer, dancing, bicycling or playing hockey you increase heart rate,burns fat,calories and build endurance doctors recomand you should do an aerobic exersises for 30mins a day. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">When you do an anaerobic exersise such as weight lifting or push ups which involve shortbursts of exertion you build strength and muscle mass. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">It is also good for your mind, overall well being and can also control your weight, offers a body workout appropriate for all ages,you can be fit for life, improves posture, flexibility, maintain health, cardio-vascular fitness and the most injury free sport there is! <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">It can also help people with asthma you can work to get your lung capacity improved,a healthy breathing pattern and places a vigorous demand on heart and lungs. <span style="color: #000080; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 120%;">So that is why I think everyone of all ages should do swimming.
