After the storm

After the Storm by Rose Quilter

WALT: Write a review of the stories we read.

This story is about what a family of four did after  the storm.  Matthew, Jessie and Sam went out looking for pine cones in the forest when their dad told them to go and get some pinecones so that  they could make a fire at night.

When they went out to look for some pinecones, they found the skull of a kitten dead in a hole under a pine tree.

This story took  place at Granny’s Bay. I like this story because it is sad and interesting to read.

Story Review

Mighty Muscle By Sue Gibbison

This article is about our muscle and how we look after ourselves. It also tells us what food is right for us to eat. It also tells us about how do we get cramps. Cramps happen when muscles stay tightly contracted and the muscles feel hard and sore. Gentle stretching can make it feel better.

I like this article because it is very important. It tells us about our health and it also says that it is so important for us to keep ourselves healthy and strong.

Granny’s Puna Iwa Toia

WALT review stories we read.

Granny’s Puna Iwa Toia

This story is about Granny’s Puna (Spring). One day a little curious girl who didn’t have a name went to the Puna where only Granny was allowed to go and no one else. She used to go there without the knowledge of her Granny to see the eel which lived in the puna.

The characters in the story are the little girl and her Granny.

I liked this story because the Granny had protected the tuna by not

allowing anyone to go to the puna which was a fresh water spring.
