Term One Reflection

It's the end of Term One! Here are some of our reflections on all we have learned and achieved this term. 

My favourite part of this term was the food festival because Room 17 got to make delicious jelly. Something I found difficult was the cricket because the tennis ball was coming fast. 

Something I enjoyed was practising our production songs because some of the songs were so funny.

Next term I am looking forward to the school trip to the museum.

My favourite part of this term was the bush because we went down field and then we got to write about it. 

Something I found difficult was the 'Try'athlon because it was hard for me. 

Something I enjoyed was doing the drums because it was a lot of fun for the school. 

Next term I am looking forward to the school trip.

My favourite part of this term was the drum art because it was very fun and creative. 

Something I found difficult was the swimming lessons because it is very hard to stay on top of the water.

Something I enjoyed was the art for the for the bush description writing because I really liked the pastels when you could mix the colours together.

Next term I am looking forward to the school trip.

Description Writing

Towards the end of this term we focused on description writing. We collected all we had learned about using our senses in our writing and wrote these descriptions about the bush. We then illustrated them, focusing on having our descriptions and our illustrations work together. Here is a small sample of some of our descriptions.

The crunchy leaves and the lonely birds were singing and the leaves were falling gracefully like ballerinas.

By Anica

The birds were black and white and the leaves were swaying and swerving in the  howling wind. The bush looked light and dark and freaky. The birds were whistling and I was singing with the birds.

By Blaze

Birds flapped their colourful wings as the wind blew past them The green trees rustled in the wind. Brown autumn leaves fell to the ground like dancing ribbons. Tall trees swayed in the wind like ballerinas dancing to the music of the birds. The dewy wet grass soaked through my socks as I walked.

By Eve

Up the tree the bird was resting on its nest. There was a big tree and the leaves were falling down. I felt itchy bites. I heard birds chirping and I smelled air.

By Petelo

In the bush there were humungous tall trees swaying in the freshly minty air of nature. All different insects were laying their head down in their cosy habitat where its peaceful flowers were twisting slowly in the air. Leaves started to crunch as birds walked and sang along the bushes.
