Over the last few weeks we have been trying out Wizard Writing to improve our fluency in writing. This is where you write inspired from a photo. One time Mrs Prescott showed us a story starter from a video and we had to continue the story. A mother and daughter went into an antiques shop and whilst the mother was busy at the counter, the daughter, Elizabeth, explored the shop. Elizabeth heard her name being called from a jewellery box and opened the box... The video stops there.
Here are three stories that were selected by the children to share with the class.
Nick's Story
Claire's story - Do you get the twist at the end?

Tiritiri Matangi School Trip
After bad weather preventing our class going to Tiritiri Matangi in the first week of school, the second week brought about the most amazing weather. Enjoy the following photos.
The first photo is the blue penguin nesting boxes and then we followed the Wattle Track up to the lighthouse where we ate lunch and looked at the visitor centre, lighthouse etc. Then we made our way down to where the ferry was to explore the beach before departing the island.

My Inquiry Project By Isabelle
My Inquiry Project
Room 5 did Inquiry Projects. We could do what ever we pleased to show what we learned from our Umbrella question and Subsindary questions.
I did a poster with model showing a boat and dolphin. My poster answered 6 questions they were: How they die, What they eat, where they live,How many left and How to help , with the Umbrella question is 6 questions.
My Umbrella question is: How can we stop the endangered hector dolphins from dying. And the other 5 questions above.
I learned that hector dolphins die because they get stuck on set nets and they drown. I learned how many are left and their big drop.
I could do better by: doing my work quicker and not only on weekends, get all my stuff so if I need some things I don’t need to go all the way to the shop.
