Patch The Puppy Free Write Friday

Once up on a time there was a girl called Ruby. One day she got up to look for birthday cards in her letter box for tomorrow was her birthday.

When she opened the door she saw as a big rock around. She read the label which
was for her from her mum.

Slowly and carefully she opened it. She stopped dead in squared it was... a puppy, a beagle. carefully it was picked up and held, softly she said 'I'm going to call you Patch because you're white, brown and black everywhere ''.

They lived happily ever After.

My Day At School

In the morning I get ready and go to school. At school we do the roll and Morning Hui. We start on our learning and after that we have a break/morning tea. Then it is the middle block and at 12 o'clock we go on the field for a brain break and a little more learning. After lunch is last block and then home time.

Reflection:
I was learning to use different sentence starters to make my writing more interesting I was able to use the sentence starter "then" once. I found this challenging because I did not know any different sentence starters. My next step is not to use "then" at all to start my sentences.
