Being Fit Dictation

This is my dictation I done in class while literacy. It is about fitness and keeping your body fit. Enjoy :)

Dictation

Did you know your body is an amazing machine? It just needs to be used every day to keep it working well.

Exercise keeps your body strong and fit. Fitness means having the energy to work, play and do all the things you want to do easily. Your body cannot store fitness so you need to exercise regularly to stay fit.

Exercise makes you feel and look better. It keeps your body a healthy weight, it helps you relax and sleep better, and when you exercise your body produces chemicals called endorphins which go to your brain and make you feel good.

Exercise for strength makes your muscles stronger, so you can work different parts of your body without feeling weak. Exercise for stamina makes your heart and lungs stronger, and helps blood flow easily around your body. Stamina is the ability to exercise for longer without getting tired or out of breathe.

So you need to move it!

Capitals Explaination

WALT: Write an explanation telling people what capital letters are and when you use them in writing.

Have you ever wondered what capitals really are? I have, and I’m going to tell you what they look like. They are bigger versions of the lower case letters, but they have different kind of shapes.

Capital letters are used in people’s name. Here is an example: lucy has to start with a capital L, and ariana has to start with a capital A because its a proper noun and it shows that we respect them. You could also use capitals on your last name for instance: Katareina Josephine Julia Tusagi.

Capital letters are also used in geographical places like cities and continents. For example a city is Auckland or New Plymouth or Sydney or Perth, and a continent is Australia or Asia.

Another time to use capitals is when you're writing the date for instance: Here-turi-koka Tekau ma toru Raapa which is the Maori date and the English date is: Wednesday 13th August 2014. Use holidays as dates too and if you don't know how to here is an example: December 25th it is our Christmas Holiday.

I use capital letters at the start of a title too. Title means Games, Brands, Shops and more. Just like this: “I went to the Library to read a book called The Hunger Games Catching Fire.” or “I went to Pak n Sav with my friend.” or “My sister loves to play Minecraft”.

Do you know what a capital is now? Do you know when to use it? There are lots more places you could put capitals in but I’m just doing four of them. Heres a fact you should always put capitals in your sentences because if you don’t sometimes you're audience won’t understand your writing.

Here are the lyrics

A complex sentence has two or more clauses

in them are commas especially for the pauses

in a simple sentence there are one

they are small just like run

a verb is a doing word

like a flying bird

What Teachers Do After School? News Paper

What Teachers Do After School?

Katareina

Pt England School

After school teachers often have meetings, they stay because they do their work.

The teachers stay after school because they learn how to teach really well and help the children. Mrs Garden a teacher at Pt England School said “On Mondays the whole staff meet after school and learn together. At the moment they are talking about cross country.” Sometimes they don’t stay at school they just go home and do their work.

After school the cleaners come and clean all the classrooms and then go home at 7pm, the last cleaner who goes home has to lock the school. Also the school has a burglar alarm so the cleaners lock all the doors to make sure no one comes in then they put in a password for the alarm and leave.

The teachers normally stay in their own classroom but sometimes they have meetings. They have their meetings in the staffroom so they basically the teachers would stay in their classroom or go have to their meeting in the staffroom. Sometimes they go to different schools like Tamaki College, Stone fields and Auckland University to work with the other teachers.

The students think its cool that the teachers work after school just like them.
