Peel paragraph practise

Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS.

Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS because we unite as an army. Firstly, we unite as an army by competing in the ultimate relay as a team. For example, we cheer on our peers and encourage them to give it their all. Secondly, when someone in our house gets a prize or excels in something, we unite together and congratulate them by giving them a Rimu clap. Finally, we unite together as an army by having each others back. For example, if someone is competing in a sporting event, and they don't have a very good race, we will say some encouraging words to pick the person right back up. It is for these reasons that I think that Rimu is the best syndicate at TIS.

Practising Peel Paragraphs

Being a mum is easy.

It could be argued that being a mum is easy. Firstly, being a mum is a full on job. You need to put your children before yourself. For example when you are worrying about getting your lunch ready, you need to pack the lunch for your children before you can pack yours. Secondly, being a mum can be very stressful. I have seen kids not wanting to do what their mum tells them to, this could be stressful for the mum because she can not keep her kids under control. Lastly, being a mum is not easy because you always need to be on top of things. Like, if your child is into sports, you will need to know all the dates and times for their trainings and games. This could be very confusing. It is for these reasons that I think being a mum is not easy.

Planet - Planet

Hi my name is Ella and spending 9 years on one planet never gets old. I decided to come to Planet - planet to search for the so called "lost treasure." To a company me on my journey I decided to bring along my pet monkey and my best friend. Molly the monkey has brown eyes, with a unusually fat tail. She loves to eat her bananas on my shoulders. Un like Molly the Monkey, my best friend known as Bugs had gorgeous green eyes with long dirty blonde hair that reaches the middle of her back when its out. A few days ago we travelled to the other side of Planet Planet to start digging, but little did we know that our spaceship was low on gas, in a result to that our ship exploded. So there I was stuck on the other side of Planet Planet with nothing to help me dig but a monkey and a glamor girl. We slowly but surely start digging, about 1h into it Molly the Monkey spots a shadow and starts her ear piercing scream, Bugs and I turn around anxiously and to our surprise, we were looking right into the eyes of a big dark green creature with tentacles 15m long. Without thinking all three of us run for our lives.
