The patterns where magic "e", ai, ei, ea, ay, ey, eigh, aigh and an "a" all by its self. When I finished the grid I typed my words onto wordle and chose my layout, colour and font.

Paired Writing

In room 12 we have being doing a writing program called Paired writing for six weeks. Paired writing is when you are put  in buddys selected by your teacher. One buddy is a trained tutor and the other is a tutee. The tutee does all the writing and the tutor is there for support and any questions that your buddy has to ask. My buddy is Corrina. I am the tutor and Corrina is the tutee

Three things I have learnt or improved on is :
I have learnt to let others have a go instead of me doing it for them.
I have learnt to understand others and help them so they can understand there learning.
I have improved on proof reading because now I can pick up mistakes easily or quickly.

Two comments on my buddy :
I like seeing Corrina improve every time.
She always comes to paired writing organized and has lots of different story ideas.

One thing I found challenging :
Trying not to give to much information to my buddy.

Blue Colour Poem



In room12 we made colour poems about colours that our teacher gave us.  A colour poem is a type of poem when you pick a metaphor to say your colour is something then describe the colour three times using similes.
This is my Blue  Colour Poem above.








Vardon School Production

 
On Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th of September Vardon had their School Production. Our school production was about the environment and how it is so important to keep it clean. My class, room 12 did an act with room 6 and 11. Our act was about the air being so polluted we weren't able to breath. At the start of our act there were cars everywhere and there was even a smog machine to show how polluted it was! In the end we reduced the amount of pollution and we were able to breath again. Along with our act there were 4 other acts that different classrooms performed. There was a Sun act, Forest act, Garden act and an Ocean act.

Production

Three things I like the most about the production was:
 The stage experience.
 The face paint and costumes. 
Also I liked the silly string in the finale.

Two emotions I felt during the production were:
Nervous when I coming onto the stage because we couldn't see anyone but they could see us.
At the end I felt joyful because there was lots of singing and dancing and to our surprise there was silly string as well.

One thing I found challenging was:
Trying not to complain about the cold! It was freezing.

Cross Country

Cross Country on PhotoPeach

 
On the 25th of August the senoir syndicate went to Minoge Park for Cross Country. I had to run around the park twice and at the end I came out with 5th place and I felt proud. Even though I didn't make it to Interschool Cross Country I still have hope for next year.
