WOW writing

We have been working on making our writing more interesting for other people to read! We are putting in WOW words and adding details. 

Here are some examples:

Miss Simpkins' sentence 'I went on my bike down the road' got changed to...

'Me and my little sister rode on my bike. 'Clatter-clatter' down the street'

By Zahir and James

'My bike zoomed along the road' 

OR

'Zoom! My bike went along the bumpy road.'

By Levi and Tawera

Anna changed her own sentence from "I went home afterwards" to...

"I stomped home afterwards because I was tired and grumpy."

Brooklyn changed her sentence from "That night I had a sleepover with Paytan" to...

"That really dark night I had a sleepover with the amazing Paytan"

WOW! What amazing writing! 

Emily's Holiday Writing!

Last Tuesday was an exciting day. We went into Wellington. Can you guess

how? We went by bus and train. Once we were at the train station we walked

to the cable car. We went on the cable car two times. We went to the cable car

museum at the top of the hill. I met somebody famous from the Red Rattlers

reading book. At the back of the book there was a man. He was on the cable car

driving it. After we meet daddy for lunch. We had Subway for lunch. I got to

choose the cookie. It was chocolate!

Next time I go to Wellington, I would like to go to Te Papa.

Time for Term Three!

I can't wait to hear all about Rimu Toru's holidays when we get back to school on Monday!

Our new SOUND OF THE WEEK for Week One is the 'short i' sound (like in 'pig', 'tin', or 'hill'). 

Can you think of any words with the short i sound in them? Say them out loud to check!
