Week 11

This week we have been busy writing letters to our penpals in England.  We tried to think about things we might have in common.  We realised that England has just had the Olympics and we have enjoyed watching the games so we asked about that.  We also found out that children in England have just finished their summer holidays so we asked them about that and also tried to think about what we like to do during our holidays.
Today we got into buddies and wrote about our school.  Each group chose some place that we liked and wrote about it.  The cool thing was that we could choose what style of writing to use.  Some of us wrote poems about the rock gardens, some wrote information reports about the sandpit and others wrote recounts about the library!  We even wrote a set of instructions for how to use the playground!  Mr Miller was really impressed with what a great job we did.

Today was also the year 3/4 speech final.  Well done to Terri and Connor.  You both did a terrific job and we were all proud of you.
