Some things about me.

Hi my name is Honey, I go to Glenbrae School and I am 9 years old. I enjoy going to school because I like to learn new things everyday, sometimes I like to learn in my own time. I like to learn in my own time and at school because I want to reach new higher life goals and reach higher life goals. I want to achieve more goals in learning and life so I can live a good life, have a job and a house. I will try my hardest to achieve more goals to have a good life and education. I want to learn new things every day so I can be better at what I do in learning. I love to learn new things everyday no matter what. I love to play keyboard/piano in my own time sometimes, I love listening to music because it helps me focus and it always helps me sometimes. I like to go play games when I finish my work, I like to listen to music as well after I have finished my work. I like to go on Pixect and Webcam toy because I like to take selfies in my own time when I am in the mood which is all the time, sort of.

Response activities	Create a spelling list for a buddy
Response activity 1. Background information. Prediction. Look at the title of the story and the first picture. What do you think this story is about? I think  that it’s about a tornado that just hit a house and made a hole in the roof and  destroyed everything. What do you see in the first picture. List as many as possible and see if your friends can see more than you. A doll, a hole in the roof, two books, a red tarpaulin, toy train tracks, a broken wire, two little trains,  little and big puzzle pieces, windows, crayons.

Response activity 2. Learn What time did he wake up? He woke up at 3:25 a.m Why did he wake up? He heard a loud noise. What did he mean by something was different? The wind was moaning, the  rain  was drumming the roof. The weather was not calm anymore. What does he mean by ‘the night outside seemed to be holding its breath’? because there was no wind or breeze, everything was still. What does stubbed my toe on a chair mean? Its when you bump your toe into a leg of a chair then your toe starts bleeding. Was a train coming to his house? No, fierce wind just sounded like  a train. What damage has been caused in page 20? A tornado had happened and all the street lights didn’t work. Broken windows, all the things in the house were fallen and broken and holes on the roof Who arrived to help and what did they do? The police came to the scene for helping the residents and the firemen helped seal the roofs of houses and schools. Look at the pictures on page 20 and 21 what can you say to describe these pictures? Page 20 is describing the neighbours screaming and others gone there for help, Page 21 is firemen helping the people whose houses were destroyed during the tornado. The other picture on page 21 is a house that has been destroyed.	Spelling words next electricity window footpass concrete tornado weren’t shocked frightened
