2019 Waipara Camp

The children's blissful cheers of bravery bounce through the air; enlightening the joyful vibe. The atmospheres splendour shade of azure illuminates an emerald green lake. As though a narcoleptic charm was tipped into the aqua, it sits as motionless as a sleeping lion. A thalassic ravine cuts deep into the earth below the water. Eagerly, the courageous children dive deep into its abyss bracing for a harsh impact with an icy temperature.

A clipping breeze ruffles the many limbs from the surrounding trees. Although they are tall, they aren't as towering as a giraffe. A choir of singing birds attempt many notes as though they are practising the chromatic scale.

Student Reflection: In my writing, one of my goals is to Organise paragraphs and writing logically and make meaning clear by subheadings, topic sentences and discourse markers. I did show this goal here because I used an example of a discourse marker describing a noun. In my writing, one of my goals is to know and write a wide variety of text types and forms. I did show this goal here because I was able to focus on producing a description and link my editing process with the text type. My next step is to use a range of editing and proofreading strategies. Teacher Comment: Ayla, yet again I am drawn into your writing.  The way you purposely select vocab to add impact to your writing is amazing and supports creating an image in the readers mind (my mind).  As a next step, you could add some short or one word sentences for impact where appropriate to keep that impact going. - Mrs Hunter

Writing Sample - Persuasive Speech

Personal Reflection-
I think that I did well on Using different tones and pitch. I also did well on eye contact since I had practiced lots. Next time I should work on using props. I used my hands lots but absolutely ZERO props.

Dear Mr. Hipkins,

My name is Ayla Ryan and I am a year 7 students at Kaiapoi North School.
I am writing to you today in regards of the new blocks at our school.

We love our classrooms that are spacious, creative and modern.
However much that we love our space there is one vital piece that is missing.
Air con is very important to help us learn. Learning in a smelly, sweaty and uncomfortable classroom really inflicts our education.

Our country respects your party and your position to help us students. We understand that you must receive hundreds of requests every day for help. But please just take out two minutes of your time to listen.

We come to school dreading the thought of annoying sand flies and horrible headaches.
Our teachers get grumpy too. They work hard to give us good skills and it must be hard for them to concentrate.

If you and your team complete our wish we would be as delighted as if we had ran a marathon!
Would you like to reward your future generation with clean classrooms and fresh air blowing?
Then please consider our request and try to improve it quickly.

Yours Sincerely,

Ayla Ryan
