Exciting writing

Some of our students have been working on adding detail to their writing. Mrs V gave four boring sentences and the challenge was to add or change words to make it more exciting.

The original...
She heard a knock on the door.
She got out of her seat.
She went to the door.
She opened it and hugged her Nana.

Here is an example of the changes!
She heard a loud knock on the big, cranky door.
She jumped out of her chair.
She jogged to the door.
She opened the wobbly door and hugged her Nana tightly.

By Layla and Casey

The original...
He stopped the car.
He opened the door.
He yelled at the dog.
The dog wouldn't move.

Changes:
He pulled over in fright.
He yanked the door open.
He screamed at the naughty dog.
The dog was as still as a statue.

Skittle Science

"Today we did skittle science. I know what you're thinking, what is skittle science? Well, Skittle science is when you do science with skittles. 

So we were parked up and then we got a bowl and put 4 different coloured skittles in the bowl and put water in too. Then the real magic happened, it started to dissolve, it was amazing!"

"I predicted that the skittles were going to change colours. Our observation was the skittles are changing colours and when you wobble the bowl it makes the skittles colours mix together."

"Some of the skittles' S came off and floated, it was amazing."

Team Building with Room 8

We have been making the most of the sunshine and were able to get outdoors for the afternoon and do some team building activities with Room 8. 

Here we are doing a "Over, Under" relay game.
