This term I have learnt how to grow plants and ‘what you need to plant  something.I also learnt that you can get energy by eating the right amount of the healthy food sources so you can stay strong and fit.

What I really liked about this topic is that how I learned lots and lots of new thing like growing plants and making a compost and beaning sustainable.I also loved beaning with my teacher and contributed well with everyone in the school.

At school I can be sustainable by beaning around with my friends and teachers.To be sustainable at home I need to be clean and green and to also be positive at all times.My role in the community to be sustainable and to be tidy and also try to recycle everyone and to reuse everything.

Tsunami At The Market

WALT- write a narrative story using the T.O.P.S structure.

Every Sunday morning three young girls named   Hannah,Emma and Cleo would get dressed in their very  best outfits to get ready to go down to the village market to sell their fruit.They were selling their fruit because they wanted to help out their lovely father so they can get enough money to keep their farm.

When they got to the  market it was full of busy people selling other food and products.All three girls were very surprised that the market was full because its not normally busy on Sundays.There must be special event happening at the market today they all thought.

They looked everywhere but they couldn’t find space to sell their fruit. While they searched everywhere Hannah  whispered“Hey i’ve a lovely space for us to sell our fruit!”So off they went Emma then got all the fruit out of the basket and Cloe and Hannah will lay it gently lay it out in the table.After they finish setting up their fruit  they start selling their fruit.Not much people came by and to sell their delicious fruit.

While they were trying to sell their delicious fruit suddenly something was shaking Emma,Cleo and Hannah did not feel anything it was a miracle.Everyone whispered to each other was sacredness”This might be an earthquake?”they all said to each.But Emma,Cleo and Hannah was still busy trying to sell their delicious fruits so they can get more and more money.

Then it got worser and worser because suddenly this huge huge wave was rushing its way towards the busy local market.Everyone then looked back they were shocked with tears.They all dropped everything and started to find a good space to survive.

Emma,Cleo and Hannah was still trying to sell their fruits and wondering why everyone was screaming and calling for help.Then this lovely man named Daniel shouted “Look behind you!”When the three young girls looked back they all started screaming.They all started to run faster and faster just like a cheater.

Cleo then grabbed some of their delicious fruits and started running.As they were trying to run fast at the same time the big big hunrgy wave was trying to get closer and closer.While the mean hugest wave was coming closer and started to swap every in the local market.All of the delicious friuts and prouducts was wiped away form the ulgy mean Tsunami.Then Emma shouted as loud as she could and said”EVERYONE RUN TO THE MOUNTAIN!!!”
so off they went everyone was trying to make it up there but unfortunately not all people made it.Everyone was crying and calling help help but unfortunately the big blue nasty Tsunami was so hungry it then started to gobbled everyone away.Luckily all three girls made it and some of the people. that was selling their fruit.Then suddenly it disappeared back in the ocean.Everyone that made it  was so glad and that they made it .Then they all walked down the mountain.When all three girls went to the poor smelly market it everything was all yucky.All of the fruits was rotten and wet.Then all the people including Emma,Cleo and Hannah then walked back to their fram.

While they were walking back home all sweaty and and wet  Hannah then told Cleo and Emma to stop.Emma and Cleo said “Why?” then Hannah replied “Because I’ve found some fruit seeds”.So then Hannah picked it up and all three girls ran home and started to plant it at the backyard.

A week later it started to grow bigger and bigger.The next day was a sunday so then all three girls then got dressed in their normal outfits and started to walk down to the local market.When they got there everything was all clean and sparkly.They were all shocked with suprised ment because they all thought that the local market will still be all smelly,yucky,watery but suddenly it was all sparkle like the snow falling towards the ground.After they looked around the sparkling market all three girls then found them this lovely spot where they could sell their delicious fruit.

While they were getting everything sorted they heard voices went all three girls looked back they saw everyone coming to the market to buy there everyone one started coming and selling their fruits and products and also buying Emma,Cole and Hannah’s delicious fruit.

All three girls got lots and lots of money everyone was rich and happy again.Later on that Sunday it got darker and darker so then everyone then packed all of the fruit that was left over and started to head home.When all three girls went home they counted how much money they got.All three girls got about 1,000 dollars they were over the moon.When their lovely father came back home all three girls told their lovely father how much money they got.Their father was so pleased and happy of their three lovely young daughter.The next day they all decided to buy a new house and to send it on special events.Later on Emma,Cleo,Hannah and their lovely father then lived happy ever after.
