We have been learning how to write poems.
We will know we have done this when we have done the following:
Followed the structure
Started each sentence on a new line
Used puncuation correctly
Expressed thoughts and ideas that are special to me
Here are some of our poems.
Courtney
It means great and pretty
2004
It is like a beautiful flower
We went roller blading
My gran
My gran showed me how to knit
2 weeks ago when I stayed the night
Courtney
I will never give up
Sophie
It means honest speedy and bright
1196
It is like a river
It is going to Hamner
It is the memory of my pet puppy
When we bought her
Sophie
It means I believe in doing my best and never giving up
Milly
It means delightful playful and glad
2001
It is like luscious ripe grapes
It is going to Australia
It is a memory off my step brother
Mum and Dad taught me to walk
9 years ago
Milly
It means all my lovely family
Dathan
It means joyful, brave honest
5432
It is a river with crocodiles sand snakes
It is going camping
Its a memory of my Nana
Who taught me to be honest
When she was alive
Dathan
It means to never quit

Express Yourself

Room 6 and sunhats
Name Poems
We have been expressing ourselves through writing poetry. We have been writing name poems about ourselves or other people. We had to remember to follow the structure, use adjectives, put upper case letters at the start of the line and make it neat so people could read it. It also had to make sense.

15 October
The term has started in a really positive way. We have been revising our maths basic facts, in particular subtraction. We have been thinking about all the strategies that we use for reading. We are trying to use them whenever we are doing any reading. We have been writing poems about ourselves. We are practising for skool stars and putting together a dance for the filming. This has been interesting. In Circle Time we discussed bullying and tried to work out why people do this, what it is and some strategies of how to deal with it. There was some interesting discussion. We are doing this on Thursdays now rather than Fridays because as part of our Inquiry Learning we are doing the Arts on other days.
Sunhats.
The children need to be wearing their sunhats. If they are not they will be told to sit under one of the trees, in the shade. They can still play there but they need to stay in this area.
On Tuesday morning I will be at a meeting here at school. On Thursday I am going to a seminar put on by Whahakata House, to learn more about different issues that can affect children. Mrs Q will be in for me.
Don’t forget to check out our blog. www.room6@freeville.blogspot.com I am also putting the newsletters on the blog.
