Sketching the kumara

This year we have been observing a kumara in water and how it grows, about every month we sketch it and compare it's progress to the last sketch. The kumara has been in the jar of water since day 1 of term 1, this is how it looks after 14 weeks!

 

Room 11's spooky writing

Building suspense in our writing

We have been learning how to write in a way that builds suspense and draws the reader in, we wrote spooky stories to practice this technique.

We learnt:

Different types of 'hook ins' to start a story : question, fact, sound effect (onomatopoeia), vivid description or dialogue.

Referring to something 3 times with our senses without saying what it is.

To describe something without saying what it is

Here is our writing, it's pretty spooky stuff!!
