During Bookweek Mr Finn read us stories over the PA system. The first one he told us was about three little lambs. We all really enjoyed it and it made us think about writing our own story. We compared two stories- The Three Little Pigs and The Three Little Lambs. We talked about the similarities and the differences and recorded our ideas on a venn diagram. After we had talked about the features of both stories, we decided we would need a bad character (like the wolf or the weasel) and three little animals (like the pigs and the lambs). It would also have to have a happy ending. We strated brainstorming our ideas and then got underway with the writing. After we had written the story we planned out our illustrations and began creating our awesome artwork. It is on our wall in Room 2 so pop in and check it out. Here are a few photos.
Some of our writing about Elgregoe the magician... On Tuesday Elgregoe the magic, magical magician came to Tairua School. I liked the part when he took the napkin and made all that snow! He did some bird tricks as well. By Natasha Elgregoe came to Tairua School. My favourite part was the birds and the snow. My favourite bird was the big parrot. Elgregoe told us about respect, consideration, support, courage, honesty and caring. He comes from Christchurch. That's where I used to live! By Sharnae In Room 2 we are clever writers! We try tricky words by writing down the sounds we can hear and we use the spelling cards to help us. At the moment we are learning how we can make our writing interesting for others to read. We use WOW words, start our writing with an exciting hook and even use speech marks to show what people said. We have two books in our class where we record wonderful sentences from peoples writing books. The yellow book is our Gold for Glory book. Miss Langsford copies snippets of super writing from our writing books so other people can read these examples of wonderful writing. The blue book is our Room 2 Hook Book. In this book Miss Langsford copies exciting story beginnings that make the reader want to read more. Come in to Room 2 and check them out!
