One sunny day in the wildness above a ravine on a narrow rope bridge Moose and bear bumped into each other in the middle and couldn’t get pass each other.

Bear and Moose were fighting and arguing about who is going back and letting the other across the narrow rope bridge.

Meanwhile,Racoon and Rabbit also try to cross the bridge then Bear turns around picks Raccoon up by the throat and drop kicks Raccoon off the bridge then Moose turns around picks Rabbit up by the ears and drop kicks him off the bridge.

In revenge Rabbit nibbles through the rope and Raccoon unties the other end causing the bridge to flip over on one side while Bear and Moose hug each other and plummet down into the river.

Raccoon and Rabbit show cooperation,teamwork and  figure a  solution to pass each other on the now damaged rope bridge.

Hi children and parents of stratford primary school community I’m here to tell you that waste and litter around our school is not ok. Did you know that every bin we empty cost the school money.

innocent mr wolf

L.G.to persuade others to our point of view.

S.C.-include personal pronouns(you.)

      -include a rhetorical question

      -develop three main ideas

      -make a recommendation in your conclusion

       

Hi children do you know the true story of the three little pigs? Well i’m here to convince you that Mr Wolf is innocent. I have three reasons why Mr wolf is innocent.

Firstly,Mr Wolf is innocent because he was only trying to bake a cake for his dear old Granny but he needed one cup of sugar so he went  next door to his neighbours to borrow one cup of sugar.

Secondly,Mr Wolf had a big bad cold and accidently sneezed while standing in front of the two little pigs homes regrettably flattening the two little pigs a in their homes.

Thirdly,the three little pigs were insulting Mr wolf about his Granny.

In conclusion, we can see that Mr wolf  just wanted to borrow a cup of sugar. He was suffering a really bad cold. And finally the pigs were rude,mean and insulting.
