Writing Week 7 Term 2 2021 Environmental Writing: The Old Playground

In Week 7,  we went outside and looked at the old wooden playground  to see if we could think how to write ``about it using personification. We tried to think about the old playground as if it were an old person. We wondered what the old playground might look like or do that was like an old person. Here is my work:

 

Writing Week 7 Term 2 2021 Writing from an image

 In Week 7, we looked at an example of a piece of writing that was inspired by a picture. The writing had lots of personification in it. Then we had to look at 6 different pictures and choose one that we thought might inspire some personification ideas.   I chose to use this picture

Here is my writing

The shooting stars were racing across the vast sky.

The night sky laid a dark blanket over the world.

The fence slept under the crisp night sky.

The clouds slowly strolled with the night breeze.

The sheep played hurdles with the fence

Play Make Create Week 7

  In Week Seven of Term 2, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation.  This week Mrs Craig Read the book: The Day the Crayons Quit.  It was about these crayons who went on strike

 I chose to make an sun and turn it into an emoji and create something to make white crayons stand out.

Here is my work

Writing Week 4 Term 2 2021 Environmental Poem-Autumn Leaves

In Week 4,  we went on a hunt in the playground to see if we could find some autumn leaves. We looked for them on trees and on the ground. Then we came back to class and wrote about them using as many of our senses as we could.

Here is my work:

Asking questions in Te Reo.

 We have been learning how to ask questions in Te Reo. The question was :

 E aha tenei? This means: What is this?

Then we had to be able to answer that question several times using different Te Reo words.

Here is my work.
