MORNING STAR

On Saturday morning at 9.30, I was walking down Sunda Street, looking for a record store. A man stopped me and asked me the way to the Hyatt Hotel street. He was very friendly and his face looked so familiar.

Then I remembered where the Hyatt was and told him how to get there. He thanked me and tried to give me something. I thought it was money. I said ‘no’ at first, but he really wanted me to have it, so I took it.

I found the record store and listened a few records. D’massive had a new record that was number two in the top twenty. I decided to buy it. I looked in my bag for my wallet and found a piece of paper the man gave me. It was a photo. I was so surprised! He was a singer of D’massive!

The text is written in order to …

• ask the way to Hyatt Hotel

• stop walking by strange people

• retell the experience of the writer listening the music of D’massive

• retell that the writer meeting a star

I am so glad that today is over. So many things have gone wrong. For some reasons I didn’t sleep a wink last night. I was very tired when Mum called me this morning. I fell asleep again until Mum called me again. That snooze made me late.

I did not have time for breakfast. I was starving as I ran to catch the school bus. I just missed it. Dad had to ride me to school. He was late for teaching at his school and he was furious with me. He scolded me for being late.

I arrived at school on time. The teacher asked us to hand in our homework. My homework was not in my bag. I had forgotten to put it in my bag the night before. I usually check my bag in the morning. I did not do this because I was late I had to do extra assignment as a punishment.

After Biology lesson, I did not tie my shoelace properly. I tripped over it. And fell down the stairs. I hurt my knee and had to have a bandage on it.

What a terrible day! I hope that I have much better one tomorrow.

Last Tuesday Red class went by bus to Woollahra Farm. We were all very excited. The golden sun was shining brightly as we headed to the farm along the long winding road.

As soon as we arrived we washed our hands so that we could touch the animals without giving them germs. Although I was looking forward to get close to the animals I was a bit nervous of seeing the cows.

First we went to the dairy shed to watch the large cows being milked by a machine. Despite feeling a bit nervous it was really interested in watching it. Afterwards we fed a cute baby sheep with a milk bottle. I discovered that they can be quite strong as they want to be.(24)

Then it was time to see the chickens. We held the fluffy yellow chicks in our hands. They feet were tickling all the time. It was a very busy day.(25) We fed ponies, goats, donkeys, sheep and deer. I liked feeding the ponies the best.

At the end of the day we went back to school. I discovered that working on a farm is a lot hard work!

What had the writer found after milking the baby sheep?

• The baby sheep are fluffy.

• Some tickling germs for the cattle.

• A milking bottle to feed the sheep.

• The baby sheep are not weak as it seems.
