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.

Teaches

My favourite teacher is Mrs Natusch because she helps us learn in fun ways and I learn so much! Mrs Natusch always makes things challenging so we ether find new ways to solve problems or just trying to make us use our brain. We also have a student teacher called Miss Joyes. Her job is if Mrs N is not able to teach us she'll just keep going until Mrs N is free But the best thing about having Miss Joyes around is because shes going to be here until the end of term which is seven and a half weeks! YAY! I can't wait for her to teach me something new.
