Hit It 

Today we had our first badminton coaching lesson with Peter. It was heaps of fun. 

Can you tell me what the main parts of a badminton racket are called?

Recount Writing in Room 5.

Our main focus for writing this term has been Recounts. We watched the story of Christian the Lion. We then recounted what happened. Here is Gibby's recount of Christian's story.
Can you identify some of the recount features Gibby has used in his writing?

Christian The Lion.
In 1969 there were two men called John and Ace . One day they went to a shop called Harrods. You could buy anything at Harrods. They saw a little lion in a cage. John and Ace thought the lion should have a better home. They decided to save up for the lion. The Lions name was Christian.
Christian was very little so he could hide under the furniture. He also liked to lie on the tables. John and Ace took Christian to a church to exercise. Christian was great at soccer but Christian got too big. John and Ace knew they would have to release him back into the wild. Christian did too.
John and Ace called a safari park in Africa. They booked a flight to Africa. The flight was fifteen hours lone.
When John and Ace got to Africa they went into the wild but Christian didn't want to go. So John and Ace had to walk him around. After a few months John and Ace left to go back to London. They were sad to leave Christian.
One year later they decided to visit Christian in Africa. Everyone said that Christian would not remember them but John and Ace didn't care they went anyway. When they arrived in Africa they went searching for Christian. After hours of searching they found a lion pack. John called Christian's name. A lion stopped and stared at him. Then John and Ace called the lion again. Suddenly the big lion came charging towards them and jumped up on them and gave them a giant hug.                    John and Ace felt fantastic because Christian had remembered them.
