Lacey's Toy Making

 Lacey has spent some of her lockdown time making toys for her baby sister. She has made a Slidedeck so we can see how it is made. She has written some very clear instructions with pictures so we can see what is happening. 

This is awesome work Lacey. 

Last weeks   lockdown writing activity  was to tell us a recipe that they had tried. We have some great chefs in Room 9. Here are the yummy sounding recipes that children have shared. 

I wish we could have taste testing too, they sound delicious. 

 THe children of Room 9 have been busy online learning this week. One of their tasks were to create an 'Alpha list" to show what life is like in their bubble. I am very pleased with the results, we have some busy children. Here are a selection. 

 We have been very busy in Room 9. While the Olympics were on we investigated a famous Olympian. We discovered that New Zealand has had lots of famous sports people. We made a slide to display the information. 

Matariki

 Room 9 really out their imganitive skills to the test this week. We had been learning about the 9 stars of MAtariki. 

Our task was to describe a star as if it was a human. We had to write about what they looked like, what might they wear and what their personalility might be like. 

We had to write 3 paragraphs and insert them into a new slide under the star we wrote about. 

They are amazing descriptions. 

 As part of PB4L we have discussing what a good friend is. Our task was to write a paragraph about a good friend. The first sentence had to be the main idea, then we adding supporting details. 

Our writing challenge was to include the special sentences we have learning - simple sentences, red, white and blue sentence, and a w start sentence. 

We used remove background after taking our photos and Motes to record our paragraphs. 

I am really proud of the paragraphs children of Room 9 wrote. 

"W" sentence starters

 In Room 9 we have learning to use 'w' start sentences in our writing. We have been focusing on 'when' and 'while'. 

Our task was to find a funny picture and write a w start sentence to go with the picture. 

Have a look at some of our sentences.
