Simile

This term the students in room 5 have been learning to use deeper language features in their writing. Here are some examples of their work. The WALT (We are learning to...) and Success Criteria can be found at the side of the blog. Feel free to comment positively on the students work.

Our Home
The sea is like a big bath full of animals.
The bath will break if we don’t look after it.
The land is like a big balloon.
The balloon will pop if we don’t look after it.
Both together: it’s our home.
We should look after it.
We can’t go to the shops and get a new one

The Glitter Fish

When I ran into the water
I saw a scale off a fish, so precise.

When the tide came in
I saw a fish,
It was like a rainbow disappearing, into the deep blue sky.

WEDNESDAY 11th MARCH

Boom, splash, crack, as the tree fell over like a milo splashing everywhere.
In the morning the fields were covered with water.

By Rhyme


When I went to the beach the sea was like ice. Crash, crash, as the ice cold water hit the sand. When I turned around all the trees tumbled down like a big storm. The storm was hitting the water. I was so frightened. The lightened was like the sun burning on you. OUCH!

By Blossom


Desert Rain Storm

One night, thunder striked. Boom,
Crash! It was a desert storm. Water rolled down like a river flowing fast.

Umbrellas go up like mushrooms, like flowers.

House Points

Each week Room 5 students earn house points. They can earn these for excellence in book work, reaching success criteria and/or doing something well. In this photo the children are adding their earned points to the ones on the board.

Room 5's Assembly

Wow!

Room 5 just had the most amazing assembly.

The students put on a wonderful display of work they have doing this term. Hannah led the way, introducing all the acts. The dance was preformed well to cool music. The art work was fantastic and so were the similes. The children sang beautifully together and showed their ability to work co-operatively. You could tell they were a class that likes to have fun and cares about one another. Tu Meke! Room 5. I am proud of you.
