OPS Cross-Country

We had a very successful Cross-Country yesterday.  It was great to see such a large turn out of parents and family members out to support the children running.  Well done to everyone who ran, good luck for all of the Room 14 students that will complete in the Inter-School race in Manaia on Thursday!

Thanks Arnita for all your hard work and creativity.

Beyond the River by Joy Cowley

The MOA reading group has been reading a collection of Joy Cowley stories called Beyond the River.  The have used the app 'Popplet' to summerise what they have been reading, and then published this on Google Slides.  They have also used iMovie to make a trailer, advertising the book.  Great work team!

STOP-MOTION Madness!

We have been looking at different language features "SHAMPOO," and how we could use them to improve our writing.  We are looking to use what we have learnt in writng scripts for the MOA Kluster Awards.  

We have doing a lot of work around introducing stories.  We have worked throuh a Sheena Cameron activity called CSI, CSA, CSO.  We wrote lists about all of the different Characters, Settings, Incidents, Actions and Objects we could write about.  Then we have a go at writing some short story starters.  Have a look....

Takeahe Reading Group have been reading a Book called escape.  They have learnt about the 'Great Escape of World War One, the 'Great Harry Houdini as well as a story about surviving a flooded cave.  Have a look at all of their great work!

It's taking a while but we are getting there!

Room 14 Winter Acrostic Poems.

We used 'Pic Collage' and 'Popplet' to brainstorm ideas around the things we feel, see, feel, smell, taste in winter.  We used these great ideas to write Winter Acrostic Poems.  
We published them on window dioramas for a class display 
(and put them on our blogs, of course!).

WINTER

We were at the shed and it was a cold frosty morning.

I was on the motorbike in the rain getting firewood.

Nana and I went shopping on a rainny day.

The day I went snow boarding on the mountain it was freezing.

Every winter weekend I go on the farm.

Running in the rain chasing cows on a really cold day.

The cats smashed our snowman.
Ethan's earmuffs froze.
