Midterm newsletter

Kia Ora all

Here is an electronic version of our mid term newsletter. A paper copy will come home Monday.

We have started a new writing unit on DESCRIPTIVE writing. Today we looked at a picture of some fireworks and brainstormed all the words we could to describe what we could see, feel, hear, smell and taste. We will share our writing soon.

Fizzy            Amazing         Colourful
Sparklers      Guy Fawks     Booming
Sprinkling    Crashing        Buzzy Bee fireworks
Blows up in an 'M' shape    Up in the sky
Sparks come out                 Loud
Cool             Awesome         Super
Powerful      Bright              Monstrous
Enormous    Fizzling           Sizzle
Explosion    Epic                 Boom
Waving around    Erupting    Magical
Shooting     Loudly     Fire

Room 5 Writer Series

Kia Ora all

Each day now we have a guest writer who shares a piece of writing of which they are proud. It is called the 'Room 5 Writer Series'.

Our first two guest authors were Noah and Georgia. They each read their writing to the class. Noah's was about his upcoming trip to the Gold Coast, and Georgia's was a fictional piece of writing entitled ' Sushi the Lost Kitten'.

Here is a picture of each writer. We will endeavour to publish their writing on the blog.

Paragraph writing

Kia Ora all

This term we are focusing on organising our writing into paragraphs.

On Monday and Tuesday we looked at what a paragraph is and what is needed. You can view our guide sheet here.


Today (Wednesday) we gave it a go by ourselves using 3 funny animal pictures. Here are the pictures. Tomorrow and Friday we will share our writing.
