Hello poeple! Today I will be blogging about what we have been doing this term. yesterday we read this short story about a mother who can't afford to buy gifts for her kids so she decided to make one herself instead.
She got the idea of making a trolley from a little pram.. She took the wheels from it and took some board and some short pieces of wood that she already have and put them all together. She also found a toybox and found an old skipping rope that we used to pull the trolley around with. The next day after her kids went to school she bought a bolt and a few staples and nails. On the Christmas even she decided to go to her neighbours and borrowed a drill and a saw. She spent most of her time making the trolley and didn't even get to sleep because she was busy making the trolley for the whole night. The next day she nervous because she didn't know if her kids will like it or not. But for her suprise her kids just brush off and went outside with the trolley in their pajamas. And she was really grateful for the fact that her kids liked her present she made for them.
Besides that we were also given a task to finish this document about The Trolley book we have read.
Answer the following content questions (write the answers below each question in a different colour.)
What was the mother’s name?
Tania
What were the names of her kids?
Hoani and Miria
Why did she make them a trolley?
Because she couldn’t afford to buy them expensive gifts or just gifts in general.
What was her anxiety about? Why was she so anxious about that?
She was anxious about the fact that her kids wouldn’t like the gift she made her. And the fact that they might get jealous to ither kids who probably got bikes or something like that.
How did the children react to the gift?
The kids just straight up went out of the house and jumped on the trolley so that they could play with it.
What does this teach us?
It teaches us that we should be grateful for what we have no matter how big or small the gift is. All that we should always remember is that our parent’s made efforts to make or buy that gift that you received from them.
We were also asked to write a diary account about the christmas trolley from the point of view of one of the children (Hoani / Miria)
So here's mine:
“Today is finally Christmas! Me and my brother got up early this morning to see what we got. We went downstairs to see our mom waiting for us and my brother and I got curious. We approached her and once we got close she told us that there’s a present behind the steps. We looked behind it to find something amazing. Me and my brother took the trolley and went outside as fast as we could to play with it, not noticing our mom yelling at us not to go out with our pajamas on. We we’re not bothered about the fact that the other kids got expensive or big gifts. We we’re enjoying ourselves and other kids seemed to like the present we got too! They wanted to try it out themselves and ofcourse we let them play with it too! Other people also complimented the present we got! Once we got the trolley back we asked our mom who looked worried and relieved at the same time to also play with us on the trolley..! And that’s how our Christmas went! It is the best Christmas ever!!”
Well that is all for my blog today people! Thanks for reading!
