I want a new Computer 

Attention grabber: 

Have you ever waited for your computer to load? It’s So annoying!  

Opinion: 

I think I need new computer 

Reason one The battery overheats  if I play on it for too Long 

I can't go on my computer for too long because the battery overheats. 

When the battery overheats, it doesn't work For me. i Can't play games. I can't watch YouTube.  I can’t even do mathletics, readworks Or my Homework I literally can't do anything 

Reason two  slow to load the screen 

The screen is so slow to load I can't even play my games. It Doesn't  even have sound when I’m trying to watch a video.  Games and video are so much better with sound. A new  Computer can load it’s screen much faster than my old computer.  It has sound for games and video. 

Reason three I could talk to my friend from another school 

My Friend is at another school and I can't see him at my school. I had a new computer I could try to connect to his computer. I could find him on games videos Google meetsOr emails. My Old computer cannot Keep up With the technology updates  

Reason four It keeps me Entertained And not Fighting with my brother and sister 

If I had a new computer I won't fight too much with my brother and sister. I would be so happy because I'll be playing on my games because it's so fun When I am happy I don't feel like arguing with them  

Conclusion thank you

My Holiday

WALT we are learning to write, edit and recraft our writing.

To write my story I made a plan at the top of my page. Then I wrote my story underneath. The green writing shows the editing I have done and the red parts show what Mr Masters helped me with.

My published copy:
I went fishing with Papa, Donte and Uncle LJ. We woke up at 6.00am then we went on the ocean on Papa’s boat. When i first cast my line in the water, I caught a fish but when I got it on the side of Papa’s boat the fish got off the line I tried to get the tail of the fish but it was too fast and too slippery. Uncle L.J put on my bait because the first fish that i caught ate my bait. Then I cast my line again. When you see light blue colour coming out of the water that means you caught a fish. It is orange and shiny when it is out of the water. It was a snapper! We caught 16 snappers and 5 kahawai. One of them whipped me with its tail. If it is a snapper, it sometimes stops in the fight. I got a little one and it swallowed my hook so we had to keep the little fish. When we were going back to shore I got splashed by water and my brother laughed at me.

Reflection - I liked it when I finally got to take off the red and green.
Have you been fishing before?
