Week 5 Term 3 2015

We have been doing a lot of work this term on writing to entertain and learning to publish our work to share with others. 
Our latest pieces were about cross country. We used what we had learned about staccato sentences to try and set the scene.Some of us used some really strong staccato sentences, but as authors we get to choose how we record our thoughts and experiences so we have a variety of writing on display.
Please come and have a look if you can. We are really proud of our display...

Week 4 Term 3 2015

This week was cross country. We have been doing lots of running but on the day it seemed like a long way! Everyone tried their best and should be very proud of themselves!


Week 3 Term 3 2015

This week we wrote some awesome stories that created suspense and drama.                     We read a story called "The Screaming Mean Machine" by Joy Cowley , and used it as a model for our own writing. After editing our stories we published them and designed our own screaming machines to illustrate our writing.
Here are some of our illustrations:
















Week 2 Term 3 2015

Welcome back to Term 3! 
We have already been busy in Room 8 working on writing and publishing our work for others to enjoy. This week we started to look at small machines and we were looking closely at some simple items in our classroom to sketch and describe.  Here is our wall display . Mrs Finucane thinks that we did a great job!
Come in and have  a look if you can.


Week 10 Term 2 2015

Welcome to the last week of the term. It is also the last week that we will have our school playground  because in the holidays it is going to be demolished and a new one built. We took some photos and recorded some memories about the playground.


Here are some of our stories...

I will miss the monkey bars. When I first was able to grab it by standing on my tippy-toes I was proud.  I like to swing one to one across the bars. I do like climbing across the top. When I first learned how to do it I couldn’t get down but I learned the painful way! I don’t like to hang upside down by my knees!                                                                              
Byron

I will miss the monkey bars. I love to hang upside down. But look on the bright side…There is going to be a different one that has things on the side that you can climb on to get up by yourself.                                                                                                                       
Blayze

I will miss the green slide because I love to play bumper cars with Olivia. To play we have to slide down fast and then another person goes down and tries to bump you off. You just keep doing it until you want to stop.

I will miss the bridge that used to be here. Mrs Finucane took a photo of me beside the space.  I have been playing on that bridge since I was in Room 5.                                    Charlie

I will miss the wooden bridge because I like to swing on it. I like the sound when you walk on it. The bridge is fun to play on.

I will miss the tunnel because I used to pretend to play army in it. I used to get my machine guns and rifles from there and then we would go out into the battlefield to battle our enemy.                                                                             
Jake

I will miss the monkey bars. I love swinging, twisting and spinning around the bars and I like to do flips from the top of it. I like to walk across the top.I am nearly crying.                    Noah.


I will miss the bridge because when I run over it the bridge it squeals like a baby, it creaks like it’s going to break and it swings like a rocking horse.                                                  Bradley
