Interviewing Year 2

Our class had been working on some ideas for what people might like for a toy. We would be designing and creating toys that would be fun for kids, also to play with on their free time. On Wednesday last week we walked to the village to interviewed little kids. I had interviewed Eden, Pisirina and  Katie. Eden is six Years of age, for a toy she would like is a mermaid doll. I  had ask her “why would you like a mermaid doll”, Eden replied “because its pink and pretty”.

Empathy

Empathy means caring for one another. Sharing with other people who are sad, also empathy means understanding your friends. Looking out for one another is also very important. It also means when you can imagine how people are feeling. True friends can tell how your feeling. Some of the words that people say to you make you feel sad or maybe like even crying but theres always that one friend who understands how you're feeling. Friendship can relate to empathy because a lot of your friends can understand how you're feeling and can really cheer you up and make you feel better.

Grace Highlights

Sweat coming down my face as I went down the jump n slide. I flip onto my face, everyone laughed. I jump off and went to the Jousting bridge. I lined up and waited for my turn, I ran up the steps and look across to Ana.

Ana walked up to me all ready to push me off. Ana grabbed onto me and pushed me down but I pulled her down with me.

Me and my friend Ana and Annliz rushed to the Trap-eze. I had seen how high the Trap-eze was, my Stomach was rumbling with fear. Ana quickly ran into the line. I just watched her go up, she swang up and down then landed on her back. I didn't really had time to go on, all of us lined up and walked to the bus.

This year I've enjoyed playing sports and learning about new things. I especially love doing maths. I think that maths is really interesting, I love learning new things. I think that writing is what I need to work on more. My favourite sports is netball, because I like to challenge other people and learn some new things.     

Giraffe

The sky full of clouds. throughout the evening I started setting the table for my customers. My friend was helping me set the table. Kate was drooling while I was serving the delicious food on the table. Scooping the ice cream out for the dessert made my fingers frozen as ice.

Sweat running down my face because of the hot sun. I walked over to the window and opened it to let that fresh breeze in. I quickly walked up stairs to wash my hands, I heard three knocks on the door. “My customers are here Kate get ready” I shouted.

Just before I opened the door for my customers I quickly wiped my sweat. Kate power walked towards the door and introduced her self to our guests. We quickly took them to their table. “Would you like to order anything else” Kate asked the guests “No thanks, this would be enough” the guests replied.

As they were eating Kate and I were on our break and when we came back inside we got a fright because we saw two giraffes poking their head through the window, getting ready to eat our guests food. “ My guests please get out this is argent!” Kate screamed to the guests so then my customers took their food and dessert with them.
