__Narrative Writing- this semester we have been working on our snapshot writing. This Snapshot writing is a experience of when my brother and I got lost on the train. I hope you enjoy.__

__ Snapshot __

I slowly walked onto the train, with my brother Sam. The train lights flashed past me, I couldn’t hear anything just the sigh of my brother. The doors closed, Dad was still on the platform. I stared at him in disbelieve, he stared back and shouted “I’ll meet you at the next station.” That when I realised how scared I was. “Excuse me everyone but we are not stopping at the next station” the speaker boomed. A sense of panic came over me, but Dad was running to the next station? I heard nothing just the fast pound of my chest. Sam and I were scared, lost, freaked out but most of all HOPEFUL. Hopeful that Dad would find us and run to the next station, were we were going. As we clambered off the train with many other people, they would stare and roll their eyes at us. We slowly sat down on the platform station, we waited. “He’ll come, don’t worry.” Sam said trying to calm me down. After waiting 20 minutes, I saw Dad running up the ramp, puffed. “Dad” I screamed. I was just so happy to see my Dad.

__Persuasive Writing- this semester we have been working on persuasive writing of our chose. I have chosen to write about the poor children in Asia that need sponsoring.__

__Why Not Sponsor a Child? __

Why not sponsor a child from a foreign country with no food, no water and most of all, no money and education. There are millions of children in foreign countries all over the world with nothing, even no parents. Millions of children need your help now!

Sponsoring children in foreign countries can help them afford their every day simple needs. When sponsoring children in poor countries who don’t have any money, you are providing them with food, water, clothes, health, utensils, education, and much more simple and worthy items. When the children are using these items they will think of you and thank you. So why not spend your money on people that really need your help? Only $28 per a month can change the future of the poor children with not enough money to survive.

When getting money from these sponsors they are also using the money for community needs. <span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Schools, town Halls, roads, streets, and many other things that sponsors money is needed for in their community are so important in poor countries, because they all work together as a team to built and bring their community together.

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Sponsoring children is using YOUR money wisely! It is inspiring you to spend your money on children who really need the money in every way. For only a small price to pay, it can make a huge difference. Why spend your money on things you don’t need, you WANT when there are starving children out in countries we haven’t even heard of with NOTHING!

<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif; font-size: 120%;">Sponsoring children is the best thing you can do with your money. It’s a small price to pay in our world, but in their world it changes it!

__Maths Continuum- this semester we have started this maths continuum. In this Maths Project we start at a level and work our way through our maths goals. This is a example of one of my first maths goals I had to prove.__ __Adding Decimals__


 * 1) 1.28 + 0.38 = 1.66
 * 2) 2.98 +1.30 = 4.28
 * 3) 1.09 +0.14 = 1.23

These are some examples of adding fractions.

__Steps__
 * 1) Get your two numbers and add your one column together. Example with 1.28 + 0.38 you have to add .24 + .38.
 * 2) Then once you get your answer you have to add your tents column example with our first sum 1. + 0.
 * 3) Then you add your ones and tents together. Once you get your answer check with a calculator or with a teacher.
 * 4) Correct :)
