Creative writing

For this activity Mrs Clark chose a image on the tv for M1 to write about.The picture was of a shadow and a shed and it also had a story starter which was a piece of writing that we had to read and continue on to the story starter with our own writing and the writing that I did is highlighted.

Story starter!

It happened in the dead of night. The garden light
illuminated the person, casting a mysterious shadow.

As silent as a whisper in the night, the figure stealthily
crept towards the green, wooden doors. Click…
The key slipped into the metal lock, the cold mechanisms
inside responding to the familiar shape of the object
that had been slipped inside. Seeing the padlock pop
open as expected, the figure slipped the slender
bolt across into its resting position. The doors
groaned agonizingly, the figure turning to survey
the surrounding area, alarmed at the loudness of
the sound their actions had made.

The coast seemed clear. Resuming their mission,
the shadow slipped inside the room. There it was. This
was the sight and moment they had been waiting for…

The shadow moved away from the lock on the large
green wooden doors the shadow started to disappear
as the golden light of the hidden treasure chest
beamed up at the shadow.The shadow turned into
a person it was a man and he was bathing in the gold
and jewls that came out of the chest.He yelled out
“This is victory!”

Maths Problem Solving

 W.A.L.T: Apply our maths strategies to real life word problems.

This week in maths we did a problem solving task and we had to read the questions then answer them using our maths skills. We also had to put in the equation we used to work it out on using words,diagrams and symbols. The questions were all about 5 farm animals. Also we had to highlight the main words in the questions that help us work out what the equation is.

I found this activity fun and I think I'm quite good at it but I need to work on getting to know how to do my fractions a bit better.

Giraffe Writing

W.A.L.T Write descriptive sentences.   

This week in Mamaku 2 we had to write a story and use a picture to write about. This was the picture that Mrs P gave us. It is a little girl taking a giraffe for a walk. In the story we had to describe what the giraffe looked like and where the little girl was taking the giraffe. I enjoyed this activity and think that I included some good description.  My next step learning goal for writing is to organise my ideas into paragraphs.

Fairy tales

 

This week we have been writing what is a fairy tale.We had to write what a fairy tale is and where to find one in a library.  When we were in the library it took us a while to find fairy tales as we looked in the fiction section.  They are actually in the non fiction section. Once we had found one we had to look at what made it a fairy tale.

I think that this was a fun activity and now I know what a fairy tale is. What is your favourite fairy tale?

Nessie Visualisation
