Creative writing

This week Room 21 tried something new for our writing.

First, we buddied up with someone and got a dice. We threw a dice three times to get a character, setting, and a problem for our story.

Then, we got a big paper to brainstorm ideas and ways to solve the problem for our character together.

It was challenging but we all tried hard and had fun.

This was our first time writing a creative story.

Well done Room 21! You rock!

Adjectives

We are learning to use adjectives to describe in story writing.

Adjectives are words that we use to describe nouns. When we use lots of adjectives in writing, our stories become more colourful and fun!

This week, we chose an animal for adjective activity.

When we made an animal strip, we wrote 5 adjectives that would describe our animal that we have chosen.

How to make hot chocholate

Last week Room 21 have learned how to write an instruction.
It is very cold these days so Miss Joo thought of a perfect instruction we can write!
How to make hot chocolate because we all love hot chocolate so much!
In instruction, we need to have the title, ingredients/tools, and numbered steps.
It was our first time writing an instruction but all of us tried our best!
Miss Joo also published our instruction and now they are displayed at the back of the classroom for the Writing wall.
Please come in and read our fantastic instruction - how to make hot chocolate!

Autumn leaves

Last week our poem of the week was called "Autumn leaves" so Room 21 went outside to collect some colourful and crunchy Autumn leaves.
When we came back to the class, we felt them, looked at them, smelled them, and scrunched them to listen to the sound they make.
Next day, we did buddy writing about Autumn leaves using simile.
Our buddies and I discussed and wrote one simile sentence each for Feel, Look, Sound, and Smell.

It was a new experience for all of us but we had fun.
Now our buddy works are displayed on our wall in Room 21, please come and read our fun simile sentences about Autumn leaves!

Who am I?

This week Room 21 have published the third book!
They are called "Who am I?" and they are riddles.
We used lots of adjectives and similes to describe our sea creatures that live in Rocky shore.
Please come in and guess what our sea creatures are!

Book about my feelings

This week Room 21 authors have published books called "My feelings".
We discussed our happy feelings and sad feelings last week and wrote some moments when we feel happy or sad.

Liam has done a beautiful work on decorating his front cover page for the book!
Ka pai Liam!

Blake has also done an amazing work decorating his book covers!
Good job Blake!

Polar bear story

On the 27th of Feb, it was international polar bear day.
Miss Joo brought a picture of polar bears and we discussed and shared what we think polar bears were doing in the picture.
On Tuesday we wrote a story using the picture thinking about what, why, when, where, who, how questions.
On Wednesday, we edited our work by either adding some interesting words or adding sounds in our stories.
On Thursday, we published our first story of the year!
They are displayed on our writing wall at the back of the classroom.
