Term 4 Speaking Programme

In our Oral Language Speaking programme we have to write clues for our mystery object, and then ask these to the class to see if they can guess what it is!  Tyde was very well prepared with his mystery object yesterday.  Today Nicholas, Sophie, Neili and Max all shared their clues with us.  What a range of mystery objects we had!

Buddy Writing

Monday 14 August

Today we read our Monster descriptions to our buddy class, Room 4.  They had to draw our monster, following our descriptions! We were impressed with how accurate the drawings were, which meant we had written such clear, detailed descriptions. Our buddies then gave us some feedback on our piece of descriptive writing, by sharing two 'stars'- things we had done well, and a 'wish'-something to improve for next time.  Thanks for the great feedback Room 4!

WALT: to describe a person, place or thing.

SC:

• plan by brainstorming adjectives
• write a sentence to explain what I am writing about
• describe the object
• add a comment as an ending.

We designed our own monsters and then wrote sentences to describe. We typed up our writing and are all very proud of our work.
