My Blog Post

This is a comment that I have done on Chloes blog. I have done a blog post on Chloes blog because she did a comment on my blog and because she did a comment on my blog.

This is a comment that I have made on my brothers blog. I have made a comment on his blog because I think he has worked really hard at trying to do maths question. I think next time when he does maths questions he will get 100%.

This is a comment that I have made on a girl name Mikaela from St Piusx. I did it on her blog because while I was reading her story it made me paint a picture in my head.

6 Thinking Hats (Pollution A)

This is a presentation that Asmah and I have worked on. Our presentation is about the rubbish that we through in the drain is not good. We have found a interesting fact saying The Sustainable Coastlines removed 1,969 pieces of rubbish from 33 drains from Queen Street.

Orientation

LI: Write an orientation that hooks the reader in.

You will need to explain what happened before the car ended up in the water, who is involved, how they are thinking and feeling, where this happened. Your orientation needs to stop just as the car enters the water.

It was a beautiful day. Just the right time to go fishing. Bob went as soon as the tide was just right. bob said that it would be the best time to get fish. He had to find the right place to put the bought but instead of reversing the boat into the water he drove his car into the monsters mouth and made the car get stuck in the monsters teeth. bob was so lucky his friends were there with him because if they weren't he would be stuck in the monsters mouth and would of drowned.

This is my Orientation that I have done about this man/woman driving his/her car into the water.
