 Today we learned about hauora I really enjoyed it.

what do we remember about recounts

Today we talked about recounts, we had to try and remember what goes in a recount.

Here is what we came up with as a class.

Next we watched a video (Link to the video) and we wrote a recount about it as a class.

Who: the little girl, Annabelle

What: she was happy, she broke her camera, threw in the bin, camera came to life, made a photo of the girl

Where: small town, Mexico

How/Why: she slipped off the pole and dropped the camera

When: sunny day, broke it in the morning, camera picture - afternoon

Ideas:

One sunny day

Happy

Picture of a balloon then it popped

Smiling with white teeth

Only Favourite camera

Introduction:

One sunny day Annabelle strolled around her small town, taking pictures of the many beautiful things. Click. Click. Click. She aimed her camera at a light red balloon and it popped just as she hit the shutter button. She smiled with white teeth as the sun rose high in the sky.

Ideas:

Hand slipped off the pole

Swinging, run up to

Fell on her butt,

Big eyes

Camera lense popped out

Laughing - hehe

She sighed

Cuddled the camera, threw it in the bin

She jogged around the town centre, swung around the lamp post giggling and suddenly… KABOOM! Her big eyes opened as she realised she was lying on the ground. Her elbow was scratched and beginning to bleed. Her favourite camera, which she nicknamed Camey was broken next to her on the cobblestones. She sighed deeply. She picked up Camey and cuddled him to her chest, then he fell to the bottom of the bin.

Ideas:

Girl walked up the stairs crying

Shake the bin

Shut his ears,

Click shutter

Pants fell down

Went into garbage

Photo came out of his mouth

Flicked to her foot

She threw it away

Looked?

Closed the door

Has an idea

Annabelle climbed the stairs with tears coming down her face. The bin began shaking, Camey was alive! He tried to get out of the bin, but it ended up tipping over. He crawled out and searched for Annabelle. She was at the top of the stairs, her back to him.  Camey rushed to the stairs and ah! His ears flung open. He pushed his plastic ears closed and kept running. She was almost gone! He pushed down on his shutter button and oh no, not again, his plastic pants fell down. He pulled them up quickly and kept sprinting. A polaroid ejected out of his mouth and he flicked it towards Annabelle. It slipped silently under her foot, but the movement caught her eye. She bent down, picked it up, and slowly let it drop from her hand. She closed the front door behind her and Camey was left outside feeling lonely.

Ideas:

Girl crying, looked up

Surprised

Smile, laugh

Camey smiled

Happy

Button nose

Camey looked down at the disgarded photo; he had an idea. Click, click, click. Photo after photo after photo. He arranged them on the wall in a portrait made with love. Annabelle rested her head on her arms, thinking about her favourite camera ever. Something brushed her arm, she looked up and gasped. A 18m tall portrait of her profile covered the wall of the apartment opposite. She felt surprised and happy. How had this happened? Who had made this gift for her? Then she noticed. Her favourite camera, Camey! How had he gotten up here?!?! She embraced Camey and her smile returned.

She prepared for their next adventure; she picked up Camey, bought a new repair kit and set off for the forest. She wondered to herself, ‘what magical portrait he would come up with next..’
