Someone Special

By -
When we came back to school after our holidays we had to create a sketch and a brainstorm about someone we had seen in our holidays. We had to think about what they looked like and things that they did. Then we wrote a story about them.
Here are three examples of our work.


My brother by Xiomy from Ham East on Vimeo.


My guinea pig Winnie was scurrying on the lawn when I noticed there was grass on her head. It was all dirty. So I put her in the sink and scrubbed her all over. She squealed like a bat so I cleaned her with the towel. Winnie is a white guinea pig with a black patch around one eye and one black ear. She likes to eat the grass that grows by Mum's bike.

    Room 10 liked the way Lucy used inference when she described the grass around her mum's bike.

    We liked the story about Nayith that Xiomy wrote. It tells us a bit more about him.

    Eva's mum sounds like a caring mother. We would like to try her baking!

    I love Lucy's story because when you described how Winnie squealed like a bat I could imagine her doing that. Eva's Mum seems really nice.I bet her Mum is really good at baking food . Xiomy gave a lot of information about her brother Nayith. I didn't really know anything about him before.

    I like Xiomy picture about Nayith. I laughed because Xiomy is being bsosy to your little sister and now your brother is bossy to you.
    Sometimes I am bossy too.

    Hey Xiomy that sounds like my brother. Whenever I pick on my sister my brother always sees me. Sometimes I'm bossy back to him and then he starts picking on me again. From Tahniah

    Hi Eva, Lucy, Xiomy and the kids of Room 14,
    You did a great job creating your pictures of someone special. I was wondering what program you used because they looked so good! I always find it a bit hard drawing pictures using the mouse. You might be able to give me some tips on how to do it better! I also enjoyed listening and reading your descriptions. I laughed when I imagined little Winnie the guinea pig squealing like a bat!
    Keep up the great work,

    Hi Eva,

    Like all mums we couldn’t live without them. I thought all the reasons why your mum was amazing but she also must be proud of you with both your kidspix and how you spoke in the movie

    Thanks for all your fabulous comments.
    We have been thinking about our illustrations. We use a programme called Kidpix. One of the reasons we think we are good at drawing using Kidpix is because we practice a lot. At first we use to cheat and use the stamps but Anna makes us draw everything. If you make a mistake you can get rid of it by using the undo button straight away.
    Xiomy, Eva and Lucy are feeling proud of themselves to have so many comments about their work.

Class Treaty

We read the book The Tree House Treaty by Wiremu Grace.   The children in the story built a tree hut in a big old Pohutakawa tree.  They made a treaty to agree how they could all use their tree hut fairly. We created our own class treaty to symbolize how our class is a friendly and supportive learning environment.

Swimming

Everyday we have swimming. We have people who are learning to get their faces wet by playing ring-a-rosie. Some of us are learning to kick so the water bubbles. And some of us are learning to do freestyle without splashing the water by cupping our hands. On Fridays we get to practice our swimming by having free time. It is fun! Today we made a whirlpool. We made it go fast and it started dragging us. Then we went the other way. It was hard because the water was pushing us back. When we finished the water was pushing us along.
