On Friday, 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: Wombat Stew. It was about a dingo who caught a wombat and tried to make wombat stew. But, it didn’t work….
I chose to... make a wombat trap.
It was about how Maui and his brothers slowed the sun down . We had to create something which could have been another way for Maui to slow the sun. I thought that maybe Maui could get the moon to grab on to the sun.
In Week 8 of Term 3 we have been learning how to write different styles of poetry.
I chose to publish my cinquain poem about chocolate.
This week we carried on with our ‘insect’ topic for reading, writing Maths
. For maths we practised basic facts and worked on writing a variety of equations which would have a certain number for the answer. We also practised solving problems using place value or known facts knowledge. Here is a selection of my work:
One thing we did for writing this week was to think of a human emotion or some other idea and then decide which colour would suit it. Then we had to write 5 sentences using our 5 senses saying how that emotion or idea might affect them.
I chose to : Write about fluffiness.
Here is my work
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:
In Week 4, we wrote a recount about a fun event we took part in recently. This could have been at school, at home or at sports/ on a trip etc. Here is my recount.

It was about friendship and learning about your strengths and weaknesses. I chose to make a comic strip about a battle between a table and a chair. I hope you like it.
This week we went on a hunt in the playground to see if we could find some seeds and then we came back to class

This writing task was about a language experience. Our teachers brought different kinds of chocolate to school and we got to eat it! We tried white chocolate, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel chocolate and pink chocolate. We could write about it in any way we liked but our teachers hoped we would use lots of describing language and our senses.
