STOP-MOTION Madness!

We have been looking at different language features "SHAMPOO," and how we could use them to improve our writing.  We are looking to use what we have learnt in writng scripts for the MOA Kluster Awards.  

We have doing a lot of work around introducing stories.  We have worked throuh a Sheena Cameron activity called CSI, CSA, CSO.  We wrote lists about all of the different Characters, Settings, Incidents, Actions and Objects we could write about.  Then we have a go at writing some short story starters.  Have a look....

Takeahe Reading Group have been reading a Book called escape.  They have learnt about the 'Great Escape of World War One, the 'Great Harry Houdini as well as a story about surviving a flooded cave.  Have a look at all of their great work!

It's taking a while but we are getting there!

Wet Drive to OPS

Megan took these short clips as we tried to make our way to school this morning (6/8/15).  Unfortunately we had to turn back to Hawera.  Enjoy your extra day at home, stay safe and dry.

Our class blog is getting seen throughout New Zealand, we have been mentioned on a teachers 'How to Blog' web site.  It's great that our hard work is been seen by so many other teachers and classes...
