Holidays


This morning, we wrote 5 basic sentences about our holidays. We looked at a range of different connectives that will improve our writing. A connective is a word that joins sentences, e.g. such as, in spite of, whilst, however etc. Next we spent time improving our 5 basic sentences by using connectives. Do you use connectives in your writing, if so which ones?

Holidays
On the first week of the holidays we went to Australia.We then went to Mooloolaba where we went to the fish markets until it started to rain.We then went paddle boarding in Noosa despite there being no waves.In addition to that we decided to hire a boat and take it around the river front. Whilst we were there went to the State Of Origin although we had no idea how to get there.

    I like the connectives you used in your sentences. You have to fix your blurb because you wrote be instead of by, and it doesn't make sense. What was your favorite part of staying is Australia?

    1. Hi Khali,

      I'll fix up that spelling mistake. One of my favorite parts was probably swimming in Noosa.

    I really like your use of connectives but there's a part in it that doesn't quite make sense. What was the favorite thing you did in Australia?

    1. Hi Charlotte,
      Thanks for your feedback. One of my favorite parts about Australia was The State Of Origin Game.
