Recount Writing

WALT : Create a Recount of what happened in the Holidays.
In Room 6 We have been doing Recounts about our Holidays.
What I will do next time : I will put more Information and make it more exciting!
What I need to work on : Getting my work done faster.


The Gondola

On a bright sunny afternoon me and my Family went on a trip to the Gondola. We traveled by our van. We went there because we had nothing to do during the Holiday.

First we went upstairs to eat. We had chips, wedges, pie and ice-chocolate. After that we were so full!

Next we went downstairs and went onto a ride called The Time Tunnel. The Time Tunnel is a ride that Teaches people about the History of Canterbury. I felt like I was going back in time!

When the ride was over we looked around the Shop. There were so many options to choose from. Some were expensive and some were cheap, some were small and some were big! Then I chose something I wanted… a Time Cube! It was discounted from $20 to $10. I paid $3 and my Dad paid the other $7.

Finally it was time to go home. We were worn out. I felt happy and hoped we can come again next time.

St. Maximilian Kolbe

WALT : Summarise and research information about St. Maximilian Kolbe and put them into our own words. We had to research about - Who was he? What was his cause? Who did he upset and why? How did his work of Love lead him to death? We had to work in a group of 3 for this project.

Something I enjoyed was researching the information and learning about St. Maximilian Kolbe.

What we found hard was putting the information into our own words.

Diameter Poem

WALT : Make a Diameter Poem using descriptive nouns, verbs and adjectives about ANZAC Veterans and What they were fighting for. After finishing our planning we made our own drawings to go with the words in our Diameter Poem so it would stand out.

Something I enjoyed doing is making my poem.

Next time I will work faster and focus on my work.

Winter Olympics

WALT : Summarise information that we learnt and putting it into our own words.

What I found hard was being efficient and working really fast.

Next time I will and more information and finish my work faster and on time.

Shrove Tuesday

W.A.L.T. Summarising information and putting them into our own words.

We had to include at least 5 facts we learnt about Shrove Tuesday.

What I found easy was putting the information I learnt into my own words.

Next time I will add more facts and information.

Onomatopoeia Poem

Fireworks

W.A.L.T. Use Onomatopoeia in Poetry.

Today we learnt about Onomatopoeia words and we had to make a poem
about fireworks using them.

What I found hard was thinking of rhyming words.

What I found easy was choosing the Onomatopoeia words to put in my Poem.

I hope you enjoy my Poem.

Pop, Bang, Crackle, Pop, Bang, Crackle,

The colourful fireworks pop in the gloomy night sky.

Fizz, Wizz, Sizzle, Fizz, Wizz, Sizzle,

The rainbow firework sizzles and dies.

Zoom, Boom, Bang! Zoom, Boom, Bang,

The last BIG firework explodes in the sky.
