Quick write draft

Quick write

There was money everywhere and I was shocked. “Hey guys is this real money?” I shouted. “Yes” replied a stranger. I grabbed a $50 note ran to rebel sports and bought my favourite pair of Nikes. I saw someone drive a bulldozer and collect a lot of money. I ran and jumped in the drivers seat. I yelled that’s my money. The man hopped out. “Yah this is all my money” I yelled. I put all that money in my bank account. I took out 3,000 dollars and spent most of it on clothes. I was soo hungry. I ran to the fish and chips shop.

“Lady can I have large fries?” I asked

“Sure $2.50 please” She demanded.

I paid her and took the bag. As I took a bite I could taste the crisp and the salt. As I swallowed it the taste was delicious.

For writing we had to do a quick write. After that we had to edit it using DRAFT Delete, Rearrange, Add, Fix, Talk. I did this because I want to edit my writing properly. I learnt how to edit my writing.

Maths subtraction maths problem

The is my maths problem I have to work out. This question is asking you what is 381 - 127. This is how I work it out. 

Firstly 381 - 100 = 281

Secondly 281 - 20 = 261

Thirdly 261 - 1 = 260

260 - 6 = 254

The answer is 254. On the third step the reason why I subtracted 1 instead of 7 is because it's more easier to subtract from a tidy number.
