Speaking and Listening
Listen to me make my speech.

media type="custom" key="9624142" WALT write and present a persuasive argument. Easter is the best time of year. Do you enjoy Easter? I think Easter is the best time of year because it is exciting and fun and you don’t know what your going to get from Mum or Dad or even the Easter Bunny. It's a great family time too.

I believe the Easter Bunny comes on Easter and gives you treats, but only if your good. The Easter Bunny comes so children have a great Easter by bringing lots of eggs. There are hundreds of sorts of Easter eggs in different sizes with bright and very colourful wrapping. My favourite is the creme egg, but there are other sorts as well like hollow chocolate, dark chocolate, white chocolate and chocolate with goodies inside, as well as eggs with gooey smooth filling. Hot cross buns are also a family favourite in fruit and even now in chocolate chip. Yum yum. Hot cross buns have the symbol of the cross on the top of them, and like the lamb are both symbols connected with Jesus. Many different traditions are held to celebrate Easter, like Easter egg hunts and the Easter Bunny himself.

Easter in NZ is a public holiday, we have Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Easter Monday. Easter can fall in March or sometimes April. Lots of families go camping or to another place to see friends and family for a few days. The beach is a popular place to go camping over Easter weekend, rain or sunshine Easter is always fun. Some people hear the Easter Bunny hop into the house with the colourful Easter eggs for good kids. One exciting event to stick around for over Easter is The Royal NZ Easter Show held every year on easter weekend. The show is popular because of its rides and stage shows and you can go in the day or at night because it goes all day.

You do not have to go to church to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. It is believed that Jesus rose from the dead on Easter Sunday. Easter goes back thousands of years ago. Back in England they began writing messages and dates on their eggs and giving them to friends and loved ones. Easter is also the best time of year because you get to do lots of craft activities at school or at home like making bunny ears, painting eggs, making cards and easter baskets and giving them to your family and friends.

These are my reasons for believing easter is the best time of year. Now what do you think?
