Direct Speech

We have been doing direct speech. Direct speech is where you have to put the right punctuation ie speech marks, into a reported sentence. So this is what we did:

I had to make it into direct speech as was its reported line. We had a whole doc to do this for and make a direct speech doc. 

We have 6 tasks and 1 challenge. Most of the tasks have 5 paragraphs to fix and I'm up to task 4. I'm almost done. I found direct speech fun and easy to do. It's a challenge to do... but a lot of fun, because it's new. 

We have been learning about 66 and 99 which is this, " " 

We have to put a "!" because the speech marks close and a "," between as well

Sailing Recount

Lake Rua  

I was so nervous!!!

I got into class I was really nervous my heart
was beating out of my chest,  I waited with my friends
until the bell rang, all the students sat on the mat.
The teachers went over what you have to have , and the teachers said,
 “ year 7 and 8s go and wait at the gate. Year 5s and 6s. We waited at the gate for the teachers to
come and unlock it. We got on the bus and waited for the time to pass”
what I said on the bus was for the writing I did today I said “ today I went sailing
and went on the boat and red a book the end “  . Lake Rua I got more and more nervous by now
, we got out and walked to the to grass. The teacher put down a tarpaulin to sit on
and put the bags down.

After that we sat down for the people to tell us what to do and other stuff like that.
After telling us we have to put up the boat and Julia , bree and I was in a team,
we  first got the boat we wanted ad got the sail and all things we needed after we finished
the boat the people
showed us how to use it, I didn't really know how to for me it was
confusing but I got the hang of it, I was happy that I got the hang of it

It was time for morning tea so we got to eat some food and have some time to relax,
but I knew after we ate we had to go on the boats because the people was taking the boats
to the dock where you get on , but first we finished eating and went to go and put on life jackets ,
we went to the docks and started to get on I was soooo nervous now but it was our groups time ,
Julia went on first she was fine , then bree and me I was so scared but
I got on and couldn't turn but I ended up back at the docks somehow.
Other groups went on and it was my time again I did It  I turned!!
I was so happy and went back.

It was time for lunch, I ate some food and we had a play.
It was really funny Toby kicked the ball into the water and went away and couldn't find it.
 We went again the wind was really picking , I went on first and it was so windy I could turn so the
people in the boats had to help me I almost fell in but, the way back My boat got stuck in the motor
and I kept going in circles and the boat started rocking and nearly fell in the water , I felt the water
touch my hand and it was so cold

I got back, after that I didn't go on again, other people fell in after that
, I got wet I went back with my friends and got changed into warm clothes ad packed my bags.
And we got to play until all the people got back ad changed, Grace said thank you and went o the bus
back to school, The day was fun a new thing that I was proud of trying.

( it's me )
