Modern Toys
K S Mon/Thurs

I agree with this statement: “Modern toys do not develop the skills that 9-11 years olds need” because all children aged between 9 and 11 need physical co-ordination. This coordination teaches them how they can develop in society and communicate with others.

Children in this age should play with bicycles, bats and balls or some more advanced games like chess and reading books.

These things increase muscular strength and expand general knowledge for all children.

Narrative
M X Mon/Thurs

It was a clear bright Sunday morning. There was not a single cloud, only the sun was high in the blue sky. My family and I had planned a trip to the National Park for a picnic.

I was happily preparing the food for our picnic there, hoping to surprise my husband and children with some of the recipes I had learned recently from a cooking book. Shortly after putting the salad and sushi in packages, we got into the car and started driving.

Sunday morning’s traffic was light. We arrived at the National Park soon. We relaxed beside a peaceful lake and enjoyed the delicious lunch. My husband and I walked around the lake while my children played the ball.

It was the time to go home when the sun set. The children were excited; they talked and sang on the way home. Suddenly, we heard a bang sound erupting from the back of the car. My husband stopped the car by the road immediately, and we all got off the car. We realised the car tyre was flat. My husband and my son quickly changed the tire before night fell and we continued our way home.

What an unforgettable day it was!
