Calender Art, Itsy Bitsy Spider and Topsy Turvy Day
This week we did our fantastic calender art. First we drew the hills with pencil and then we started painting the hills. We had to mix the paint to make it lighter because Mrs Fowler said that it would give it the effect we needed. We also used ohp (over head projector) material to make the wings. We made them beautiful and colourful and added some little babies in as well.

On the 14th of September we had our topsy turvy day and we had a lot of fun deciding what we would wear as you could see Abby decided to go as a nerdy person. She even coloured her eyebrows!
When we had Mrs Fowler as a reliever teacher we did the itsy bitsy spider poem but we didn't do the usual poem we made up different problems of our own. Once we had done two poems we had to choose the best one. We drew a spider on a big piece of paper in pencil. Then we out lined the spider in black sharpie. Next we cut the spider out and wrote our poem onto it in pencil. After we had done that we went over it in sharpie. Finally we coloured it in and cut it out.

Narrative Writing & Inquiry Learning
In inquiry learning our big aim for this term was "How has the olympics and athletes competing changed over time?" Then we had to think of smaller questions like,How have the running shoes changed over time? or Are olympians eating a healthier diet these days? We are really excited about getting more into our inquiry.By Bailey.

Recipe Writing Online
Today, Room 2 learnt about Recipe writing using an online notepad called Etherpad.
The recipe was:
Ingredients: Setting the scene, Tuning in the ear, Developing the character, Creating the action, The resolution.
Method:
1. Bring your reader in to a powerful setting of the scene where your story is to unfold.
2. Introduce some sound into the scene to further engage the senses of the reader.
3. Have your character appear dramatically within the setting.
4. Create the action that will bind the reader into the story and continue to develop this to the penultimate moment.
5. Resolve the story with some revisiting of the scene, the sounds or the character that was central to the storyline. leave your reader with something magic to hold on to.
We were put into groups and there were 4 groups assigned to each online notepad. The great thing about it was, as we typed our stories, we could see what others were typing at the same time, and learn from each other.
We only had time for steps 1 and 2. Here is a selection of snippets from our writing in its draft stage. We will finish our writing and then publish the completed stories. Enjoy.
TB LEGENDS
Lightning crackling like bacon sizzling on the frying pan. Birds chirping trying to save themselves and their families from the rain coming in their nest/home.
Oragami Yodas
One stormy night the wind was incredibly strong shooting through the trees like birds. Lots of thunder crackled in the sky like wood in a fire burning slowly.
Hockey Masters
The thunder ripped through the sky. The wolves howled a blood curdling scream that sent shivers down my spine.
Dominos pizza
While they were looking the storm got louder.
The MC Chicken
The smaller trees were being thrashed around violently until they hit the ground and got stuck there. Not much later, a big tree went down like a building in an earthquake, taking all the other trees down with it, the same as dominos.
Midnight Madness
Leaves swirled around my ankles causing scratches and the dark venom- like-blood dripped slowly down my shaking leg. Thunder claps above me, as I drearily walk home through the currents of the storm, splashing through the puddles as big as lakes, my feet and shoes sopping wet.
Wild
The night was a catastrophe. Wind swirling as lightning bolts appear in the sky. A tornado forms and twists and turns towards us.
The Chocolate Milkshakes
Umbrellas were twisting and turning. The thunder boomed and the wind howled. Trees smashing against the window.
Lego Mini Figures
The wind swirled around me, creating a tornado of leaves and dust around ankle height. The city was deserted, not a living creature in sight. The rain poured down continuously, drenching everything and everyone in its path. Trees swayed violently, a living nightmare for birds. The sun had disappeared behind the horizon eons ago, plunging the city into immense darkness.
The KT Waggafuffles
As I stood there waiting for my bus I was breathless in terror.
The Gummy Bears
The trees looked like monsters in their shadows, ganging up on us.
The sound of the trees whistling,
Dragon Born
As I was waddling through the chilling snow I saw a twister ravaging the icy pane.
A&A
My drenched pants dragged through the water as I tried to make my way out of the flood.
The wind howls in the occasional breaks of sound from the waves clashing on the rocky walls
