Thank You Letter To Mrs Parkes

Dear Mrs Parkes

As you have helped us over the year, I have learnt more. Writing a descriptive paragraph has been easier for me since  the beginning of this year. Starting the descriptive paragraph before the introduction was a great tip.

The 4 x 4 poem was interesting and fun. The difficult part for me was finding the correct word to contribute as the adverb. It was new for me and I enjoy learning new things. As you should know, we created a comic strip about our difficulties on writing a 4 x 4 poem and posted it on our blog.

When we did our combined story about the attributes, I now understand what some of the attributes mean. Like courteous, it means being polite, using your manners and listening to others.

The diamante poem was very easy to do. Our diamante poem was about the black piranha and I found it easy to find the nouns, adjectives and adverbs. I didn’t complete the bottom half of my diamante poem because I had to edit our movie for Manaiakalani.

I would just like to say thank you for all the suggestions that you have given us to improve on our writing, especially descriptive writing. I still need help on descriptive paragraphs because I do not include the senses.

Yours sincerely

Shanelle

Dear Parents And Guardians

Kia Orana, I haven’t seen you or heard from you for the last couple of years. I hope you are all doing fine back at home. It is great to finally write a letter to you. It has been difficult trying to cope without you.

Weather has been hot out here on the battlefield. It is very difficult to be in the sun 24/7. The weather does change and when it hails and rains it is just the worst. When we get in bed it is all mushy and yucky. I still sleep fine. I would like it out here without all the hail and rain.

Food has been okay. I have been eating bread and corn beef. There is not that much because we all have to share but it can keep me going throughout the day. I enjoy eating our dessert which is biscuits.

Trenches are not healthy. They are disgusting, mushy and yucky. There are always rats roaming around and they are leaving their rat droppings behind. Also the rats have been chewing on all my other letters that were supposed to be sent to you.

My mascot is named Freda. She is a dog. She cheers for me when I am out on the battle field. She is 14 years old ( in dog years ) and she is great. She is a real friend to me.

A lot of injuries has happened over the last couple of years. I haven’t got injured yet and I am sure that I will come home safely. Do not worry because I know you are those types of people.

So I hope that you are all doing fine and please reply back to me.

To your loving daughter:

Shanelle

P.S. Send me some chocolate please.
