Our Puppet Pal shows

We have been doing lots of role play in Room 5 this term. We decided to use our role-play skills in Puppet Pals, an app you can use to create cool shows! It has been tricky to think of a plot, characters and backgrounds, but we have persevered, and here are some of the shows we have come up with!

Koru

We really enjoyed creating these Koru. Our learning intention was blending two colours inside our koru. It was fun to try blending different colours to see which would work best!

Here is a slideshow of our koru along with our reflections. We would love to hear what you think.

Five Sentences Challenge!

We love writing in Room 5!


We found a website where writing prompts are posted every 2 weeks: http://fivesc.net/2013/09/05/prompt-1/

 Our challenge is to write 5 sentences on this prompt. We then have to post our story as an entry on our class blog, and link it to the website above. This week's prompt is Autumn. We had to write 5 sentences about this picture:


See below for two of our writers' stories. We hope they win! Ms. Baria thinks they did an amazing job!

Here is M.Y.'s Five Sentences Challenge story about this picture:


I can see a man selling potatoes. He is hoping to have lots of money. I can see a girl knitting. She might knit a pink scarf, or pink gloves. She is knitting it for her daughter.
