How do people show feeling?

How do people show feeling?

People have different ways of expressing their feelings.  Often when they are angry   their face turn red and they start stomping,or starting saying bad words and they always swear if the teacher say to them to go under the shade.

When people got their own feeling and action like they feeling happy so they can have funny face or their getting angry they are really  upset and their positive language to say to the people if they angry.

People was a really do their good action if they at the front of people they dance and their attitude is really expression and their feet was make a noising if they angry or crying and another feeling is anger .

When people getting mean they push or fight with the people  and people  going play with the people is other than them so they not allowed to play with them because that why they crying if they go to the people is not in their age.

My Fencible Stone Cottage

have been learning about the Fencibles who came to live in Panmure along time ago.

They travelled along way.  Many of them were Irish Catholics.

I went to see the Fencible Stone Cottage in Panmure.  It is like a little museum that has lots of old things in it that show what the houses were like.

Later I made this PMI chart to record my key ideas.  

Plus	Minus	Interesting
The cottage is small so you do not need many things. It faster to clean up the house and keep it tidy. It is cute and it only two bedroom and it’s have a baby  bed.	The cottage it’s have no toilet and have no tv and it have washing machine That things in cottage house it’s to old.	That house it ‘s too old and all of the people stay there before they have photo of them and they have fencible photo they lot’s of things inside their house
