Fireworks!

Hi! These videos were directed, acted out  and videoed by the  clever Room 3 children.  I think there is some clever use of sound.  I love Brodi's firework scream. (I meant to post this blog about a week ago - and thought I had lost it.  Just found it under drafts!) Please also have a look at the 'Talking about our writing' blog. Some great comments from the children here.
Thanks to the person who wrote the comment! It really is good to know that people are looking at what we are doing.

Talking about our writing

We have been learning about kiwis and their predators.  Today we wrote about why we should save the kiwi.

Speeches

Hi! Hopefully all of the children have bee practising their speeches at home.  Last Friday they had an opportunity during our' 'buddy class' sharing time to read these to their buddies.

Remember you are all welcome to come a watch the speeches from 2:20pm on the 15th.  Have a look at some of the practising

Poems and drama

We have been having a lot of fun acting out poems.  I love this little video.

The children have started having turns videoing with the 'bloggie'. They are finding they have to overcome problems like fitting everyone in and moving the camera slowly.  This one was videoed by me but beautifully read by Angelina.  I hope to post some videoed by the children in the near future.  'Bloggies' really are a fantastically easy tool for us all to use.

Seeds! Seeds! Seeds!

As you probably would have heard if you have a child in Room 3, we have all planted bean seeds.  Miss Groome was horrified to hear today that Room 10s seeds were sprouting faster than ours.  They planted theirs straight into soil while we had ours firstly on cotton wool.

Anyway I am sure ours will overtake theirs soon.  we will keep an eye on the situation.  We are doing a lot of work on writing with a purpose at the moment.  We did two days writing on seed dispersal.  The first day we wrote little information reports.  On the second day we wrote poetry on seed dispersal.

Have a look at these!


The seed breaks free.  It spins and spins.  It looks like a helicopter. It dances in the wind.  Now it falls to the ground.  Then the wind catches it and it is flying again.  It slows down. Not flying, now it is falling.  It was on the ground.  It found a new place to live. BY MIA


The sun warms all the dandelion seeds.  They pull from the dandelion and dance.  They spin high in the sky.  They race each other. They race each other fast.  They circle around.  They fall like tired zebras after a long run.  They fall quietly to the ground,.  BY KEEGAN


The see breaks free and it is dancing in the air.  It swishes and dives.  t looks like someone parachuting.  It almost touches the ground 'Swoosh'! Up it goes again. By EVIE


The seed goes up in the sky.  It spins around in the wind.  It looks like a helicopter. It falls to the ground.

The seed is in the wind.  It spins in a circle.  It is blowing to the ground and the sunlight is on the seed.
