Room 10 RBS

For our homework everyone had to choose one form of communication to write about. Eli made an unusual choice.

Face Pulling

I chose to talk about face pulling for communication.

Face One: the neanderthal face. Puller(s): Sam, Eli
We pull that face to tell someone that we are not particularly interested in something.

Face Two: lip out, stomping and screeching. Puller(s): Eli
It tells you that the person is having a tanty.

Face Three: the death look. Puller(s): Mum
The death look follows a verbal warning. One eyebrow raised and total focus.

Face Four: happy face. Puller(s): Mia, Sam, Eli, Mum, Dad
It tells someone you are happy.

Ms Fothergill bought a magnetic poetry set for us. We had lots of fun on Friday writing sentences.

What’s really good is that it’s easy to add and remove words to change the sentences around.

We also were able to use the numbers to make number sentences.

One day Ms Fothergill told us that we weren’t going to write our weekend recounts in the usual way. Instead of drafting a story in our books we were going to draft pictures and then a script.

After we drafted the pictures we chose which comic layout we wanted to use and published our pictures. Then Ms Fothergill used her cell phone to record our scripts. Then she put them together in a voicethread.

One of the fantastic things for a teacher is seeing students learn about different ways of writing. We’ve been learning about using “time” or “sequence” words to start sentences in our recounts.

Here are some of today’s stories.

On Monday I went to my cousins birthday.

First we went to 10-pin bowling.

Then we had some lollies.

Next we went to the park and had a drink.

Finally we went home.

Our tomatoes taste great.

After we had brainstormed what each of the pictures might mean we wrote our own stories about the pictures. Here are some of them:

One day a girl went for a walk to the Adventure Park.

First she played in the underground tunnel.

Next she went to climb a tree.

After that she went down a slide.

Then she caught a bus and went home.

By JM

Once upon a time a troll named Lia was walking to her pot.

Then a big bird flew down and almost got her, but she hid just in time.

When it was gone she climbed up to her slide.

Then she fell down into her pool for a paddle.

By DA

Once upon a time there lived a troll called Dood.

One day she decided to go for a walk. She found a pot plant with a tree in it so she hopped into it and hid, but nobody came.

Then she climbed a bit higher.

Next she climbed right to the top to look at the view for a while.

After that she got a bit bored so she decided to slide down to go home and have a quiet rest after all that climbing.
