Room 8's Possible Speech Ideas

We are going to start writing speeches.  Here is our brainstorm of possible topics.  We used Lucid Charts to create this brainstorm.  Can you think of any more ideas?

My Writing Timetable

This is what I do for writing each day in Room 8!

Monday
I write a recount about my weekend with Mrs Takilai.  I try my best to sound out my words and use my word flip card.  I draw a picture to go with my recount.

Tuesday
I publish my writing on my blog!  I also draw a picture using Tux Paint, which I insert into my blog post.  I love Tuesdays!

Wednesday
I use cutting sheets to practice putting letters in the right order to create a word.  When I have finished this, I get to play scrabble with Mrs Takilai!

Thursday
On Thursdays I practice my handwriting using handwriting cards.  When I have finished all of my work, I am allowed to go on ABCya! to practice other literacy games at my level.  This is the end of my week!

When I have finished my writing, I go to Room 7 to work on my reading with Miss Aireen.
So be sure to check out my blog every Tuesday, for my latest piece of writing!

Writing with Mrs Takilai

Early last Saturday morning my Dad   shouted "Get up! Get up! We have to go."  


I asked my dad, "Where are we going dad?"  
"To town."  He said.  We went  to  do our shopping. We bought some chips and  drink.

We were learning to use expression when we read.  We had to look at the punctuation to know how to change our voice to suit.  We hope you enjoy!

Mavis and Jayden

These are my class mates Jayden and Mavis.  They won artist awards!  I thought I would share their good news with you.  Room 8 kids rock!

The Brave Little Tailor

I am learning to find key words and phrases that describes a main character in the text.

Today I read a book called The Brave Little Tailor. The main character in this book is the Tailor.

• He is a brave man because he kills two giants and and a boar.
• He wears a brown belt that says ‘Seven At One Blow’ because he killed seven flies all at once.
• He is not scared. He is confident.
• He married the king’s princess.
• One thing the Tailor likes to say is ‘Seven in One Blow.

I want to be like the tailor because I like how he was a brave man.

Tim's Costume

Today I read a book called Tim's Costume. He got invited by his friend to a costume party. He did not like the costumes suggested by his mother or sister.

I think Tim should go to the costume party looking like a scarecrow so that he can scare people at this party.

In My Weekend

In my weekend, I  went   to   spend my  weekend  at my  papa‘s   house.  I   played   with  my friends  and  I   met  new friends too.  We   played hide  and seek.  I   had  the  best   hiding   place!  I   hid in  the tree!   I   was  laughing  in    the    tree.   Maopa   gave  up!  I   jumped  down  from the tree  and  papa called us  for  dinner and  we had  KFC.  It was beautiful!   

Comparing Movies that Entertain and that Influence

I used lucidchart.com and manaiakalani.org to create a Venn Diagram that compared movies that entertain and movies that influence!  It was challenging learning a new website but my teacher helped me.

A Weekend Recount

At the weekend, I  went to the beach with my mum and got an ice cream  from the man for free!   I went  back home and I went  for a shower because I got all the sand on my body!  After my shower I went to my papa’s home.  I felt happy because we went to the beach and I loved looking at all the crabs.

My Weekend Recount Writing

On the weekend I went to the gym with my mum and sister. Later we went to Mac Donald’s.We had a good lunch and we enjoyed our good time together.
