Great writers

 Term 3 !!

We have had a wonderful start to Term 3 jumping straight back into routines and beginning to practice our operetta item already!

Last week we wrote about rain and how much we either loved or didn't love splashing in puddles.  To make our writing interesting we added sound words and describing words to grab the reader's attention. 

Some of our writing included....

"splash"  "splosh" "giant puddles" "rainbow gumboots" "waterfall in my gumboots" "woosh" "muddy puddles" "I dont care if I get wet!"...  


What fantastic writers you are Room 6.
