Pink Shirt Day

Today is Pink Shirt Day!
This is day to wear a pink shirt to show your support for the people who are getting bullied. The reason why we wear a pink shirt is because in Canada there was a student who was getting teased because he was wearing a pink shirt. Hence the colour pink. We hung pink balloons and posters around our school.

We can stand together and stop bullying if we work together.

My Mother

WALT…. Write a Character description and use ‘show not tell’ in our writing This term we have been learning about character descriptions. For Mothers Day, we described our mothers or a female in our life. So our sister, auntie or grandparent. We had previously been using Pig the Pug for practice and learning the sequence of the topics. Here is what I came up with.


 My Mother

My Mum came into this world in 1975 as a yelling and screaming baby.
44 years later, the only yelling she does is at me.

My mum is short. I am taller than my mum. My mum is the shortest in the family.
My dad says she has ducks disease because her butt is too close to the ground.
Mum claims she has shrunk because of her compression fracture!

My mum is kind and loving. She can get very grumpy and angry when
my cousins Drew and Bryn comes over.
Mum calls it ‘Barns Boot Camp’ because it is the only
time they have structure in their day. They trash the house to make my mum furious.
It works every time.

My mum loves sitting with her friends. She loves talking to them
on the phone for what seems like hours on end.
She invites her friends over and their furry friends come and
play with our dogs and birds.

My mum loves having a clean house. Mum and I clean the house every Sunday
while dad is at work. It is just easier with just one child, not two.
Plus, I am more helpful anyway.

Mum is kind, loving and friendly when her two children are behaving. She is forgiving, gentle and thoughtful in every single way.

 I love you very much mum.
 From your darling daughter,
 Nevaeh.

Pig the Pug

WALT: Write a character description and use 'Show, not tell' in our writing.


Pig the Pug


Pig the Pug is very round. Pig has wrinkles all over his body. He is short and stumpy and could burst his pants any minute. His eyes can look left and right at the same time. Because of his appearance, he creeps little kids out.

Pig the Pug loves the attention and thinks he is the best. He does not like it when Trevor gets attention. He is great at getting people to look at him and love him because he is hotter than Trevor. Pig needs attention to feed off and stay ALIVE!

Pig the Pug is not very nice. He has a bit of a sharp tongue to him. This can make his friends feel worthless and used. He does not have many friends because he shoves them then puts on a performance to get your attention. Self-absorbed pig! 

Pig the Pug has a very cluttered room. It is like his room is confused. He lets his clothes fall out of the wardrobe, and straight on the floor. If his mum asks him to clean his room. His response is "Don't come in here then!" Yep, gross room.



What I found easy: Finding the words to use.
What I found difficult: Finding the words that best suit that sentence.
What I Found interesting: Having the topics in ordered paragraphs.
