We can write sentences!

In the last week Room 3 have been looking at what makes a sentence. Do you know that a sentence MUST have a capital letter at the start and MUST have a full stop at the end of it? Yes, it does!
There are also different sentence types - simple, compound and complex sentences.
Simple sentence - 'The boy went to the shop'.
Compound sentence - 'The  boy went to the shop because he had to buy some shoes.'
Complex sentence - 'When the boy went to the shop, after he has saved enough money, he brought a             trendy pair of shoes.

We used this photo, and talked about little children running away from home, to base our paragraph of 4-6 sentences on. Each paragraph needed to have a simple, compound and complex sentence in it.
We hope you enjoy our writing. Comments about your favourite sentences that we have written are WELCOME!

Little Tom was so  upset he ran through the bull's paddock by the river and blackberries. He went to his Nana who never told him off for anything. Whenever he goes over there he always gets treats. When he got over to Nana's they then went to milk the cows. Then his mum came over, smacked him and dragged him home!

Little Tom was so upset he ran away because he pushed his sister Jade over. Ms Betts searched for him. When she found  him chatting away with Nana Marj, she said, "I told you not ran away"! Tom said, "I stayed well away from the creek".  Ms Betts took him home and he never ran away again.

Little Tom was so upset he ran away. He went over the ditch, over the elcetcric fence and over the hill to Nana's house. But then his mum came over to smack his bum and then they went home.  Tom cried all night but he never ran away again.

My little cousin was so upset he found his dad's suitcase, packed his lollies and went to his grandmum's house. When Aunty found out she was mad! When she saw him beside Grandmum, my little cousin said, "I went to grandmums. I went to grandmums because I needed more lollies". My aunty said no candy for a month. Even though Aunty said no candy she doesn't know about the candy floss inside the pillowcase!

My little brother was so upset he ran away down the road. I could not find him, not in the cowshed, not in the stable. He was nowhere to be found. Then I looked in the fort and found him. I was so relieved that I had found him but I did give him a whack on the bum. That day I was crazy that had happened but happy to know he was safe.

  1. That is fantastic writing room 3. I love the detail, I can just see the boy going past the blackberries (Ethan) and hiding candyfloss in his pillowcase (Kimberley). Your sentences look like you put a lot of thought into them.
