Shared Writing

In the Year 6 classroom we have been researching information on Japan.
We have been working in groups to do shared report writing on Japan. We have learnt the importance of using an interesting heading, using sub-heading and in particular we have been focussing on writing great topic sentences and detailed paragraphs. 
We have been sharing our writing with the other groups and finding ways to improve our writing. We think we are getting better every day. 

Last Friday we made sushi. We followed a recipe that we had to read to put in the correct order before following the recipe. We made sushi that had tuna, carrot and cucumber in it. For some of us it was our first time trying sushi. It was delicious. We loved cooking and can't wait to make something else again soon. The best part was eating it and checking to see how good we can cook!

Update - By Zoe

Hi I am Zoe and this is what has been happening.

In the first few weeks of Term 3 we have been going very well and we have started to learn about the Olympics and the world. Which is a great thing that we are learning about since the 2012 Olympics are on and the world is such an interesting place.

Our assembly was on at school in the second week of Term 3. For the assembly our class was doing the first ever Olympsix.  For the assembly I was the music controller and the prayer person. The assembly was great. It was one of the best assemblys I have ever been in. What we did was a board game that was about the Olympics. We sang two songs, I believe and Eye of the tiger.

While we prepared for our assembly we were visited by some very talented people who came to our town to teach us some drama and acting skills. There were 3 from New York and a lady from Sydney. The people from New York names are Arianna, David and Marree and the lady from Sydney’s name was Carla. The incursion was awesome while we played a game named 'WHOOSH' and 'STATUES'. The games were fun, but we were not finished yet. We were put into groups of 4 and then we made a scene about bullying and we presented it to the class.

We are still learning about the Olympics and all of the contestants and the sports. So now you can see that we are all working hard and we are all trying our best at what comes and what comes and what goes and I hope you can see how lucky we are here in our school and how well Miss A teaches.
