Descriptive Writing

WALT use descriptive writing.

So this week for writing we had to write a descriptive writing about the Anzac Violin. And so the first thing we had to do is read a story about the Anzac Violin and the story was about a boy named Alexander Aitken and he was in high school in Otago and he was a soldier who was fighting in world war one. On the way after all of his crew members got off the ship they started climbing this big Mountain and Alexander brang one special thing with him and that was his Violin that he brang with him everywhere because whenever his crew members are sad he plays a song on his Violin, it's like one of his favorite things to do and he is also very good at playing the Violin as well. And so the next day was the day when they were going to fight! 

As they kept fighting in a moment that everyone wished that never happen and someone in the other country shooted Alexander and he was laying near his other crew members painfully and wounded but a wee while after a ship came and it had a plus sign on it which means the doctors were there to help them, but one thing the Alexander really wanted to help was his Violin... A few years later a package came into Alexander's door step and he opened the package and it was his Violin! He was very happy to see it again and that is where the story ended.

So yes that is a little summary about the story we read and so we had to write a diary entry about if we were Alexander right there in that moment when he got shot and so here is my Diary entry:

As I creep sluggishly throughout the open side path and while my perception is fading away, I still try to make my body secure. The breezy air pasts through me casually as I struggle to get through fatal crew members and even members of the enime. As I see my doom coming I think “what should I do next”? So I just let the supportive doctors take responsibility of Me. As I close my eyes I see darkness coming in slowly and slowly…..

“Where am I going”? I exclaimed. I couldn’t sense my body, I calmly opened my eyes and I saw a tremendous boat! And it had the plus sign on it saw I knew straight away that the doctors were taking me straight away to the stunning hospital! So while I’m on the ship I think about something that is very important to me and I value everyday. That's right! It’s my Violin! I need to go back but I can’t cause I can’t find it anymore but hopefully I will see it one day again! 

As the doctors take me out visiosly out of the ship I wait for me to get better and to get healed so I can search for my violin again. But as the years passed on and I was healed something came from the mail, I had no idea what it was but it was a sizable package it was shaped like something that I was going to look for but I couldn’t for the past few years so what could it be?

I opened the package very slowly like a slow snail in a race but this wasn’t any type of race because in the package was…. My Violin! There was a letter that came with it and it said “We have found your Violin in the battlegrounds and since it was really badly damaged we wanted to give you a hand and make it flesh just for you”!

Something I enjoyed was reading the book cause I found it really interesting.

Something I found difficult was trying to think of some cool words to put in cause I wanted my Diary entry to sound interesting!

I am going to be posting some more Descriptive writing so stay tuned!

How Room 5 shows Respect

This week for Writing we had to make a Biteable about How Room 5 can show Respect to Teachers, Property and others. And if you don't know what Biteable is that is a DLO tool you can use to make a video like powtoon and Animaker. I found Biteable really easy actually cause all you have to do is pick a scene and then write what we need to say and we can choose a font as well, the audio and all the different stuff like that. But first we had to to go on a google doc and write down the three different things we need to add in our video. So that's what we did.

Something I enjoyed was actually playing around with the tool cause I found really easy and fun!

Something I found difficult was trying to download it cause it was the first time I ever used it so I needed some help but I got it in the end!

Anyways here is my video about how Room 5 can show Respect:

Respect in Room 5 on Biteable.

I will be using this tool more!

The true story of Hansel and Gretel....

Last week on Friday the seniors of St Bernadette's got to go on a school trip for the Hansel and Gretel show. There was also some other schools as well that came to see the show of Hansel and Gretel. Our school was sitting at the top but like closest to the bottom, I don't know if I explained that right so please tell me if I'm wrong or right in the comments! But anyways, first we were at school and then after Morning tea I think we got on the bus and I sat with Mya and all we did was like talk about stuff and we did this thing called Boom, snap, clap and yeah it was really fun, then we got off the bus and we saw some other schools sitting on the grass, and then Mrs Lee told us to sit in the grass as well with the other schools. I didn't really like sitting on the grass because it was like really, really, really hot! 

Then few minutes past and we finally stood up and started walking to the Auditorium where they played the Hansel and Gretel show! While we were walking we had to stop a few times cause it would either be stopped because some schools are walking past, or some other strangers might be walking past or some of the people in our school are being silly and I don't mean it in a funny way I mean it as being Naughty! Then we finally made it and we still have to wait for 10-15 minutes cause other schools went  in first before us. As we stepped inside it was big but not until we actually got into the actual Auditorium, cause that was even bigger!

We got in our seats and waited for a bit then it finally started, they introduced the characters and then turned off the lights and began the show, we only got see the second act to Hansel and Gretel but it was really good. I almost fell asleep! But yeah, now for this week for writing we gotted to write our own twist of Hansel and Gretel! So here is the true story of Hansel and Gretel:

The true story of Hansel and Gretel…

“What just happened!” Gretel Shouted.

“I don’t know what we did wrong” Hansel exclaimed.

“Maybe we were eating all of the food, I mean our step Mum did love food”

“Maybe it was, but I’m still hungry”

“Same”

“Maybe instead of going back to that rusty and old and poor looking house maybe we should find a
more fancy one of
our own”

“But how about food, how are we going to get food!”

“Don’t worry cause we’re just getting started!”

So Hansel and Gretel were on their way to get some food first, suddenly they saw something in the
distance of the forest so they went to check what this Mystery thing in the distance could be.
Once they reached their destination they saw what it was, and it was a house made out of lots of
different types of candy, their was gingerbread, lollipops, gummy bears and you name a candy it’s on
their. Hansel and Gretel heard some big and loud stomps coming from the back of the candy house
was a scary and heroundes witch that had a lollipop dress and a cane that was and actually candy cane!
The witch suddenly said “Come in, come in if your hungry I got lots of candies for you to eat”,
“Of course we would love too” Hansel and Gretel said in sync. So the three stepped inside and it was
like a dream to them so Hansel and Gretel started to actually eat the whole house. They ate the couch,
the tv and even the roof and everything, but as the two were about to eat their next big bite they heard
a cackle coming from their left and they saw a house made out of potato and meat. 

They quickly ran to their left and knocked on the door and then another scary and heroundes witch
opened the door and they ran straight in and ate everything just like they did on the candy house,
the witch didn’t have time to make a welcoming! So the witch stopped Hansel and Gretel and told them
that they are welcomed to eat some of her food in the kitchen, but Hansel and Gretel just started to
keep on eating the witch's house, at least the witch made a welcoming, but still Hansel and Gretel
nearly ate the whole entire house but then they heard another cackle from another witch coming
from their left again! So Hansel made a big hole in the Potato and Meat house and went straight
to the house on their left and this time it was a Vegetable and fruit house. 

But this time they knocked and they letted the scary heroundes witch to her welcoming or maybe
his welcoming but we’re not going to get on to that bit of the story, the witch said
“Welcome to my healthy household! You are welcomed to eat anything
you want from the fridge and pantry!” But Hansel and Gretel just ran into the house just like they did in
the other last two houses they’ve been in and even though this house was made out of Vegetables and
fruit they just loved food so much they would eat Vegetables and fruits! Until they finished the whole
house! They went back to the other two and finished those two houses as well. After Hansel and Gretel
were so full they couldn’t eat anymore so they laid down in front of the three houses and went to sleep!
But meanwhile the three witches were so mad that the three witches came together to make a plan that
would destroy Hansel and Gretel! 

“Wait, are you guys thinking what I’m thinking!” Candy Witch said.

“I think so”

So the three witches made their plan and their plan was to trap them in a cage and then give them a
potion that would make them work against each other, and they thought it would be the perfect time
now because they’re both sleeping like their dead. After a wee while, the witches were ready, they
put them in chains and in like a tall house but one person can only fit in it. They separated them
because they knew they would find a way out. Minutes past and suddenly Hansel and Gretel
started to wake up and so the the Candy Witch and the Vegefruit witch gave both of them the potions
and when Hansel and Gretel opened their eyes and started to fight open the cage so they could fight
each other, and I bet you’ll know what the witches did, your right! They opened the cage so they could
fight. The witches said “Now this is going to be could” And after they said that they started to cackle like
Maniacs.

Meanwhile, Hansel and Gretel was still fighting, and then the witches saw a really hot oven and
they screamed out “Come on Hansel push Gretel in the oven!” And that’s what Hansel did, but then
suddenly Hansel and Gretel quickly ran to the three witches and shoved them into the oven instead!
“Woah, did we just do that!” Hansel shouted.

“I think so, but how did we not fall for their potion.”

“Well maybe I secretly spitted it out”

“Maybe I did too” Gretal said while laughing.

But now they didn’t know what to do, but suddenly they heard footsteps coming closer and closer,
but it wasn’t another witch it was their father! Hansel and Gretel were so relieved that their Father
had come to take them back home!

After a few hours later when they got back home their step Mum was gone, and so the
Father explained what had happened. I’m not going to tell you that cause that’s another whole
different story. But that’s the true story of Hansel and Gretel!

The End!

Maybe next year your school might get to watch it too!

The three Identical Musketeers

This week for writing we got to write about anything we wanted but firs we looked at Narrative writing, Narrative writing is when you get to write whatever you want but you need to include some things like language features, Characters, as problem + solution, paragraphs and Character Development. Language features is like Simile, Onomatopoeia and Hyperbole and all those ones. Characters is obviously the Main people, the problem + solution is when there is a problem then you have to try a solve it. And then lastly Character Development and that is when you describe you Character like through out the story so like not straight away. So then after we discussed all of that we got to start our writing and I decided to write about these three triplets who get bullied and then they've had enough of all the bullienes so they release something inside them then go to a new school called sky high!

(Oh and my story has a crises bit in it so I'm just gonna quickly tell you guys what a crises is, a crises is when like your problem gets worser and worser.)

And I'm not going to tell you anymore about it so you got to read my story so here it is:

The ones that are highlighted yellow are the ones that are original.

The ones that are blue are the ones that have been changed.

The ones that are pink bits are the crises bits.

The Three Identical Musketeers.

“Hurry up girls, we’re getting late!” Their Mum said. 

“Okay hold on we’re still packing our bags!” they said. 

“Come on the bus is going to be here soon”. 

“Ok Mum”. 

So the bus was off to go to Lacy’s, Kacy’s and Macy’s new high school. So here is a little story about how they needed to go to a new school, it all started when they used to live in a historic house at 12 Rex Street Avenue and there was a school close to their house and that the school was called Jehnson School, that’s the school the that Lacy, Kacy and Macy used to go to, but now it’s time for the real story....

So the first day they went to Jehnson School they thought they fitted in perfect perfectly and they thought that because they were only 5 years old when they first started, but while they were giving process progress in that school, a few years later when the three Identical Triplets were year 6’s they started getting bullied from these girls called Charlotte, Joryden and Ellie. They were getting bullied because they had like different colored eyes and they looked different to others and everyone would say they look terrible! 

But it doesn’t matter if you look different. Those were the three main bullies in the school, but then one day the three bullies told the whole school to gossip about Lacy, Kacy and Macy, but and those the triplets didn’t know what the school was up to. The teachers and the principal of there school didn’t even know what the other students were up to as well. But whatever the school was planning on was something really bad….

The School was planning on bullying those three girls and they did that just because they’re different, but they didn’t know that there was something special inside Lacy, Kacy and Macy. But they just kept on bullying them every single day, every time the Triplets came home they would cry in tears looking like a Monster with hair everywhere them! They were getting bullied each day, the triplets were tempted to leave the school by the students but the triplets didn’t want to cause they actually started to like the school a bit more so they didn’t want to leave. 

But the school wouldn’t stop, until they were year 8’s. And on that last day the triplets couldn’t take it anymore they used something that was inside bursting to come out, but they had to wait till it was the perfect time to use it, so the triplets waited and waited until their special elemental dragons inside them ame our bursting like they didn’t want to be inside them anymore, Lacy’s elemental Dragon was a Blue Dragon for ice, Kacy’s dragon was red for fire and Macy’s dragon was green for Nature. So on that last day their hearts were pumping and thumping, and then the next minute the triplets used their elemental Dragons and powers on all the students but then a few seconds later the three triplets suddenly disappeared everyone wondered where they were and they were terrified of what the Triplets had just did, but they were also really amazed, the Students didn’t really care but everyone else was suspicious of who the triplets might be?....

So that’s how they transferred here into their new high school called, Sky high and it’s a high school for people who have powers just like Lacy, Kacy and Macy! The triplets didn’t know how to fit in, in their new high school cause everyone had different powers that they didn’t even know about. But everyone was different and unique just like Lacy, Kacy and Macy. Everybody was saying “Who are they, do they even belong here”.

The triplets would reply “I don’t know if we even do, this school looks different and I can’t believe this school is on a cloud”!

“Girls wake up, it’s the first day of high school, hurry up”!

“Ughhh it’s so early though (yawns)” They exclaimed.

“I baked pancakes”

“Alright guys we have to get up Mum cooked Pancakes”! Macy shouted.

“Fine, but the first one to get ready gets 4 pancakes”! Kacy said in an excited voice.

“Okay 3, 2, 1 GO!”

So they all started fixing their beds, getting dressed and doing the stuff they usually do in the morning. And the first one there was…. All of them, it was a tie. Well of course it would be a tie I mean, their triplets. So Lacy, Kacy and Macy ate their 4 pancakes and then suddenly they saw something in the distance it was the school bus! They grabbed their shoes and they quickly putted them on and then said a nice goodbye to their Mum. Once they gotted on the bus they sat quickly together cause they didn’t know anyone from Sky high.

Then the bus was off, a few minutes later they were on a bridge and then suddenly there was no more road at the end so then the bus just flew down, but then suddenly the bus had wings so it could fly! The triplets had no idea where they were going so they just stayed still and quiet. Suddenly a few seconds later something from the top of their head came down, it was a life saver jacket and they needed that cause the bus was flying to sky high and that’s when the triplets figured out maybe their new high school is in the sky and maybe that’s why it’s called sky high because it’s high up in the sky! “Oh wow, that’s amazing everyone their must be like us and we won’t get bullied.” Macy Shouted.

“Hopefully” Kacy said is a sad voice.

“I’m so excited to start our new life here” Lacy exclaimed.

“It would be so cool if we could make some new friends here”! Kacy said in an excited voice.

So then the bus was going higher and higher until they finally reached their destination…. “Woo hoo, Sky High”! Everyone shouted like they came to their dream country. Everyone got off the bus and they were standing on a cloud! The triplets were like so amazed and really excited, this made their whole life even better. Then throughout their high school year they started making progress in their work and they made new friends, that’s how they became great people on earth!

The Moral of this story is if someone is bullying you don’t let them in your way, stand up for yourself, and if you see someone else getting bullied stand up for them as well!

Questions:
Q1: How would you feel if you met the three triplets?
Q2: Would you like to be one of the triplets?

Something I found difficult was trying to think of what to right cause I really wanted it to be interesting.

Something I enjoyed was writing it cause while I was writing it I found it really fun and interesting!

Stay tuned for more writing!

Princess Jasmine Writing

For Writing in Room 5 this term we have been learning about descriptive writing and so before we start any writing this term each day when we do writing we do something called a quick 10 and that is when Mrs Lee (Our Teacher) Puts a picture on our TV  and then we have to come up with 10 describing words about it, and we did this two weeks ago and we're posting it now so yeah I don't know what's going on in Mrs Lee's mind? But anyways two weeks ago Mrs Lee gave us a writing template of a burger and it had the top bun as the introduction, the pieces of food inside were different categories of like what we wanted to talking about so like 3 paragraphs of different writing, and then the last bun was the conclusion.

So what we had to do is find a buddie and my buddie was Mya then you had to choose a character from a movie or a book but like someone who is like not from the class room. Me and Mya chose Princess Jasmine from the movie Aladdin. After that we wrote our whole descriptive writing about Jasmine on a google doc so here is our descriptive writing about the wonderful Princess Jasmine:

Princess Jasmine is a very fearless person. She has always been so confident about never giving up. She will always keep trying till she succeeds, Princess Jasmine always knows what is best for her and others. Princess Jasmine is as Brave as a whole Army of Soldiers.

She has a creative personality. She is a caring person to everyone she loves and to people she might not even know. She’s such an adventurous person, and she is very proud even though she might mess up on something. She is so confident in everything she does and she doesn’t let anything get in her way. She encourages other people to stand up for themselves and do what is right to protect their land and family! If Princess Jasmine was not alive then her land would probably explode!

Princess Jasmine is a wonderful person with wonderful brown eyes and her brown eyes make her unique. She has beautiful black hair. She wears a shiny gorgeous blue and gold necklace with a special heart on her necklace.

Sometimes Princess Jasmine can have some problems in her life even though it looks like she can handle everything. She has a problem that her Dad wont let her rule Agrabah. She can only rule Agrabah if she marries someone. Another one of her problems is a bad one. She had to kiss a man called Jafar like Mwah! To distract him from trying to hurt Aladdin. She really does anything to protect someone or something.

Princess Jasmine is a very brave and confident person because she never gives up and she always does her best. She loves to adventure, because she always likes to do stuff to help out even though it’s hard for her. Jasmine is very outgoing and fearless because she never is scared of anything and she’s always hyped and happy to do something. She would do anything to save her Family and Agrabah. The victory for her is in the bag.

If your wondering about what the high lighted sentences well what we had to do is you know how I posted those pictures and we had to write like 4 of those descriptive words in each picture well what we had to do was pick 4 of those different descriptive words and put them in our story so me and my buddie picked, Hyperbole, Onomatopoeia, Simile and Metaphor. So those are the high lighted Sentences.

Here are some questions for you to answer:

Q1: What is a simile?

Q2: Give me an example of an Onomatopoeia word?

Q3: Which Descriptive word is this (She was slow as a Turtle)?

Descriptive Writing Slideshow

This week for writing we have been learning about descriptive writing, and Mrs Lee showed us eight words and they were, Hyperbole, Onamatipaia, Simile, Personification, Alliteration, Idiom, Repetition, Metaphor. My favorite one would probably be the Hyperbole because like its when yo say something but it's just like an expression for example: my head is about explode! So Mrs Lee told us to make a copy of a slideshow and then write one descriptive sentence about one picture. Then the next day we had to use 4 of the descriptive words at the top for another picture and then after we did that we could write another 4 for another 2 pictures.

Sorry I haven't finished all of the pictures but this is what i have done:



I will try to finish it!

Up, up and away... Descriptive Writing

For Writing in Room 5 we have been looking at descriptive writing and using our 5 senses to write a piece of Descriptive writing. This wasn't like a group writing and you have to describe using your 5 senses but what my class had to work individually. My teacher Mrs Lee gave the whole class a prompt which is like a picture that we can write about. There was a girl sitting down and a boy standing up and like putting his hands up. They were both at the top of the hill and looking at a beautiful view.

Oh wait I must have described what the prompt looks like well I hope I did. But anyways Mrs Lee my teacher told us to like write it in first person and like we are there right now so like use present words like I am and stuff like that. We were also allowed to pick a person and if you did we were allowed to talk about the other person to. We also had to come up with a descriptive title to that could hook the reader to read our Descriptive writing.

But without further to do here is my Descriptive writing:

Up, Up and Away….

Introduction

I finally see the end of the Mountain and only 3 more steps to go until I finally reached the end, I have waited 2 hours for this moment!

I’m so exhausted, so I need to sit down. I saw the view it was so beautiful, my eyes were seeing something unbelievable. I couldn’t believe my eyes but it looks like I have to, the Mountains were so tall they were touching the sky, I could see that the world was like wonderful secret place that everyone could be in. My friend Jacob saw the view as well he was amazed by it, his eyes were thinking something else but his body was thinking amazement. We both saw that everything was made by our Creator God and he made everything Perfect.

When I reached the top, I could smell the warm summer breeze touching my toes, my arms, my head and everywhere in my body. The Warm Summer breeze also made my body smell good and smell right. My friend Jacob felt the warm summer breeze go through his body and through his Mouth and the wind made him feel much better. I could also smell the Victory! Coming down on us and giving us the courage to enjoy and to make it back safely.

Mmmm I could taste the breeze going in my mouth and out through my nose. I taste the sea water that is flowing from down below but it still has reached my mouth and has melted inside like an ice cream melting in my hand in this hot weather. I can also taste the warm victory we will have because we have reached the end of the Mountain and I have reached my dream of coming to the end of a Mountain and see the wonderful view they have up here.

I can feel the huge rock that I am sitting on right now and it feels like a piece of metal on top of a beautiful hill that God created. I feel the Victory coming down on us so we can be victorious as anyone else. When I look at the view it makes me feel so thankful that God created this world for us to live in and a World that we can learn and see other people so we can make friends, that’s why I feel so thankful.

When I’m up here I hear birds tweeting and singing their whole heart away, I can also hear the tides from the sea coming closer and closer. The warm summer breeze is so peaceful and loud you can hear it and it’s so beautiful.

Conclusion

You should go to the top of a Mountain so you can see the view. You will be more relaxed. But sadly me and Jacob need to back home. But stay tuned for more adventurous!

The Homesick Weightlifter

For Writing in room 5 our teacher Mrs Lee told us to do another collaborative writing with the same people we did on our other collaborative writing, this time Mrs Lee did not choose the Character, Setting and Problem for us because we had to use this thing called story starters and it's when you spin a lever and it gives you like a type of story that you can write about, and there are also other levers on the setting or characters or problem so then if you don't like it you can change it.

My group got write about a homesick weightlifter and we did, but then Mrs Lee said to us after we finish our writing we have to make our own picture book and we still had to work with the same people again. So Mrs Lee came up with two templates that we could use, one was like a writing book and the other one was like an actual book, but Mrs Lee also said that we could make our own template if we wanted, and we had to do it digitally.

My group decided to pick a template and we picked the writing book one, but suddenly we started changing it around and then after we finished out picture book it was all covered in color which is good but surprisingly there was like no more writing book template, my group thought we didn't need a template. But at least we finished.

Anyways here is our picture book:

The thing that I enjoyed doing was making the characters cause it was quite fun sorting out how they look like and I just though it was quite funny and fun at the same time.

One thing I found difficult was the writing because sometimes my group didn't know what to write so we had to think hard but we still did it.

Do you think you can make your own picture book?

My Favorite Season!

On Week 5 term 3 I think on Tuesday our Principle Mr Norman came to teach us. So for writing he asked us a simple question which was: What is your favorite season? So we had to talk with 2 people and come up with 3 reasons on why they like that season.

My favorite season is Spring. And you will find out why that is my favorite season soon. After we talked with two people we shared our answers with the class. After we did that Mr Norman told us to write 4 paragraphs. So the first paragraph would be the Introduction then 2 reasons why you like that season then the conclusion.

Then on week 6 on Tuesday I think we could add more reasons and that's what I did. Then after we finished our writing we could add something to symbolizes your favorite season. But it had to be made by you. So we could trace or like add shapes to make something or stuff like that.

So here is my piece of writing and my symbol:

Introduction

Don’t you hate it when it’s so cold in Winter and it’s so hot in Summer, and way too warm in Autumn.
Well there's this season that can make you feel happy and joyful, it is my favorite season… Spring!

My favorite Season is Spring because when the flowers are not blooming in Winter, in Spring they do
bloom and it makes the flowers really pretty. Since Spring is after Winter the flowers in Winter get
really branchy and there’s like no flowers on them but in spring it makes the flowers bloom and when
it’s spring, it makes the flowers smell really good. If you want to take nice photos in front of a really
pretty tree then spring is the best because all the flowers will bloom and the flowers will be really nice. 

Spring is my favorite season because, you get to play around and do fun activities like playing your
favorite sport because it’s not too cold and not too Hot to play your favorite sport. You can also go
outside and play with your friends and play games outside in the warm weather. An example for this
is if you go outside and play in the winter you will get really cold and maybe you could get sick, and if
you play outside in the summer you could get a sunburn and that will really hurt. But if you go out and
play in autumn leaves could get in your eyes when your running and that will sting. But in spring you
get to play at whatever time because none of those things will happen.

In spring animals start to give birth. It is also the time when fly's and bugs don’t go around the house
and so you don’t need to waste your time catching them. In Spring, different animals come out and in
the mornings birds will be singing. For example, in winter the animals don’t give birth and the birds
won’t be singing in the mornings because it’s too cold. In Summer some animals give birth to their
young but not all of the animals.

When it is Spring you get to go on a hike and get some exercise on a nice day. When you go for a
hike you can take pictures and also get your body exercised at the exact time. You can also see
new things and new places. For example, if you feel sick, you can go out and hike because it can
exercise your body and you can have some fresh air.

Conclusion 

These are some reasons why I love the season Spring! Now you know my favorite, what’s your
favorite season?

Maybe you could writ about your favorite season and make symbol for it too?

Lost and Alone

For Writing this Week my teacher Mrs Lee got an Idea from her cousin, which the teacher for  Room 3, Miss Lee. In Miss Lee's class they have been doing some group writing which is when you have a slideshow and on person comes up with some Characters, and someone would write the different settings and why the characters would go there, another person could write a problem, and then all of you come up with a solution to fix the problem. And that is exactly what we had to do.

We had to be in a group of three. My group was Me, Mya and Max. I did the problem, Max did the Setting, and Mya did the Characters. Instead of us choosing Mrs Lee chose for us but we could add more stuff as well. The Character that Mrs Lee chose was a Penguin, for the main setting she chose a Desert, and for the Problem she pick Siblings.

So my group had to first talk out what we were going to do. We figured who is doing what so like we have are own jobs. Then we putted all the information on one slideshow. For the very last slide we gathered all of our information into a real story.

So here is our slideshow to tell you what we have been through:

Come and Learn some Apostrophes!

WALT identify how to use apostrophes correctly.

My Teacher Mrs Lee has been noticing that in Room 5's writing we have been using Apostrophes wrong and that made me think maybe we should learn more about Apostrophes. My teacher Mrs Lee added an activity about Apostrophes and that's what we had to do if we finished are reading tasks or if we don't have any. The first activity was to watch a video that tells you all about Apostrophes, The next activity was that we had to do a sheet that was about Plurals, then another that was adding a plural and the next activity was basically the same but with different words. But the last activity was to make a poster about Apostrophes.

So I made a poster that can teach you about the top 3 Apostrophes that you would probably use a lot in your writing, so here is my poster:

From my poster I am going to ask you some questions and see if you can answer them:

Q1. Where can you use a Apostrophe for Contraction?
Q2. Which Apostrophe can be used for Letters that are single? How?
Q3. Show me an example for the apostrophe that marks for possession? (Don't copy mine.)
Q4. What have you learnt from my poster?

SEER Structure Writing

WALT write and Structure explanation writing.

In Ruma Rima we have been learning about how to Structure our explanation writing. First thing that we had to do is is talk about what we already know about Structure writing. We had a Student Teacher named Mr. Lee, and he taught us all about Structure writing. He told us to use SEER which stands for: (S) Starting Statement, (E) Explanation, (E) Example and (R) Relevance.

When you write a starting statement it is telling the person who is Reading your writing, that is what the explanation writing is about. So for example: It is important to brush your teeth. Then you are going to write about it. The explanation part is when you explain why it is important to brush your teeth. When you write the example you are like writing down like what would happened if you didn't brush your teeth and like what would happen if you did brush your teeth. The Relevance part is when you summaries what you just talked about.

So we wrote about a lot of things to help us practice with Structure explanation writing. So here is one of my writings that I used for Structure explanation writing:

Personal Hygiene is important. This is because we have to look after are bodies so we don’t get sick
and so our bodies will be clean and healthy. It can also help others around us clean and healthy too.
For example, by brushing out teeth our teeth can be healthy and clean and so no teeth will fall out and
there will be no cavities. We can also wash our hands to keep us clean because you need to think more
about what you touch every day and think if people have touched that too. It could share germs and
make you sick and that's not what you want, so it is important to wash your hands. It is also important to
keep our nails clean too so we need to cut them and make sure there is no dirty stuff in them, and also
try not to bite them because if you do your nails could have some germs and it will make you sick. It is
also important to keep your clothes clean but don’t buy new ones but like wash your clothes so they
won’t be stinky and dirty. But if you wear those types of clothes you will be stinky and dirty and so you
will need to take a bath. There are so many other things you need to do to keep your hygiene healthy
and clean, I hope you can continue to keep your hygiene clean
and healthy!

 Something that I enjoyed was writing a Structure writing.

Something that I found difficult was highlighting the different SEER parts because at first that is what
we had to do and I had no idea what to do.
