Sentences

I have been learning about sentences. When we write a story, we use simple sentences, compound sentences and complex sentences. 
- Simple sentences tell 1 thing eg I am a girl. A simple sentence starts with a capital letter and ends with a fullstop.
- A compound sentence tells 2 things - I am a girl and I am 9 years old. In the middle of the 2 things is a joining word - and, but, so then or because. A compound sentence also starts with a capital letter and ends with a fullstop.

The Regatta

On Wednesday, we went to watch the waka races. Every year, lots of schools in Ngaruawahia send teams of students to the Waikato River by the Turangawaewae Marae, to compete in waka races.

The water sparkled like diamonds. We stood at the top of a steep bank and looked down over a carpet of purple-flowered green plants.

A speeding boat left a wake of water behind it as it sped to the red buoys - the starting point of the races. The water rippled out towards the tree-lined banks and softly touched the shores.
