Persuasive writing (Fireworks ahould be banned)

Hello everyone,

For the first week of term in writing we were working on our persuasive writing skills, we were told to write about wether we thought firework should be banned or not. I worked with Isabella to make this peice of writing about why we belive fire works should be banned.

Fireworks should be banned

Do you like fireworks?

Well here are our reasons why we believe, you shouldn't use them

Although fireworks are in fact very pretty and can bring others closer it does pose a hazard when it comes to flammability since it releases sparks of fire from the gunpowder that if it’s around grass if there's enough of it can set the ground aflame. Since most people don’t keep water or a fire extinguisher around them while doing this it can be deadly.

Secondly, fireworks contain materials that are able to be used in other circumstances and can be useful (like different chemicals). If we use these in fireworks we could run out of the things used to make them when we need them in different situations. They also tend to cost a lot of money which can be used for other, more important things. Considering in this day and age everything is getting more expensive (which will include fireworks) putting that money into a bank account to save it would be much better in the long run.

Thirdly, fireworks tend to be loud, really loud. Loud noises tend to be bad for animals and can send them into shock, hurting them and maybe even killing them. Different animals can be useful in terms of nature and to society so if they die that would be very bad.

Thus we believe that fireworks should be banned

Monsters are real

This week my literacy group have been writing persuasive arguments about ether monsters are real or monsters are fake I chose real and I wrote about it .

I think that you should believe that monsters are real . Did you know that  even if you have never seen
a monster before … it's coming for you?

Monsters come into your room and drain out your energy in the middle of the night .That's why
sometimes you feel tired when you wake up .

In the deepest darkness of the night, bed bugs grow and grow until they are twice the size of you and
suck out all your blood!

They hide in the dark under your bed until the day of Halloween . Then they jump out and scare you out of your pants .

Lots of people say monsters aren't real but if you have you ever heard a weird noise it's because there's
a monster under your bed .

So as you can see monsters are real. Next time you go to bed, check underneath it.  Trust me .

A bunyip in a billabong

My literacy group have been reading the big book "Bunyip in the Billabong" and also we've been writing persuasive writing so we decided to mix them together and write a persuasive argument. In the bunyip or townspeople perspective I chose the bunyip's perspective and wrote about it .

Dear Townspeople,

I believe that I have to stay in your billabong .

Did you know that I am the last bunyip in the entire galaxy?

There are many ways I can help your village be great.

Firstly I can come to your kids birthday party and give kids rides , do magic and make a cake .

Another reason is I could easily help you if your town got attacked by aliens. I would show them my
big beady eyes and my snapping jaws and scratching claws .

Also I could be a big attraction to tourists. They would pay for souvenirs and you would get a lot of money .

Lots of people say that there are more bunyips in the universe but , I came through 15 galaxies to get to
this world. You can’t kick me out!

As you can see I need to stay in your billabong and I can be very useful .

Sincerely the Bunyip
