Writing Sample
Description: We read the poem “My Remarkable Journey” which inspired us to write our own remarkable journeys about why our homework wasn’t at school today.
They chase me around like I'm their escaped prey so I jump over the fence like a kangaroo. I see the crocs in my nabors pool. O no I hear the lions tearing down the fence. One word goes though my head. That word is RUN. I run and run to Jaidens. I yell help help trolls raided my house and there were lions in my back yard. Boom boom! I yelled the trolls shot my homework and that's the reason why my home isn't here today.

In Troy's maths groups 10 and 11 have been using known facts to find unknown facts.
We are doing this so we can work out hard questions
We learnt to use known facts to find unknown facts by doing easy problems first until we got it.
I learnt how to use known facts to find unknown facts.
I reckon I have been doing this really well because I can easily work out my 12 timetables by using my 11 timetables but I reckon I could do bigger problems.
Feedback/forward I reckon you did well at the description because you added detail. I reckon you could of explain the task a bit better #Jaiden
