Persuasive writing - Green eggs and ham are bad to eat.

Our learners did some persuasive writing about why green eggs and ham would be bad for us.  We used Dr Seuss's book Green Eggs and Ham as our provocation.  We made meaning by starting our sentences in different ways and adding our own voice to suit the purpose. 

Firstly green eggs and ham are bad to eat.  Secondly I do not like them.  Thirdly they are cold to eat. Sam said I do not like green eggs and ham.

By Eleanor

First green eggs and ham are yucky.  Secondly they taste like leaves.  Thirdly I don’t like them.  Next because they are disgusting.  I think have to go to the doctor.  They are going to make me sick.  I would get a sore tummy if I ate green eggs and ham.  

By Taylor

First they are bad because they are disgusting and because they are yuck and they are yellow in real life.  If I eat green eggs and ham I won’t like it.  It will be yucky.  I would vomit.  I won’t eat it forever.  My tummy would feel bad.

Green eggs and ham By Arlo

Firstly green eggs and ham are disgusting because of how  they look. Secondly green eggs and ham are bad for you because they are poisonous.  Third   green eggs and ham are bad for you because they are green. Next green eggs and ham are bad for you because they are smelly. If I  eat green eggs and ham I would need to go to hospital.

Green eggs and ham By Cobie

Firstly they are bad because they could be poisonous. Secondly they could look like rubbish. Third it looks like vomit. Next I do  not like them because they are yucky. If I ate green eggs and ham I might get sick and die.

Our duality maps

We are having some fantastic conversations about our duality maps while we are making them.

Here are some samples.

Our writing about Luigi

Luigi came for a visit.  Luigi is cool.  Luigi is at school.  He has a treat.

By Ivan

Luigi came to school.  He came to me today.  Luigi came to hub 5.  Luigi flew.  Luigi is black and white and blue and grey.  He sounds like a squeaky.  He is going up and down his stick.

By Cobie

Yesterday Luigi came to Hub 5.  Luigi chirped in his cage.  He ate his food.  I like Luigi because he is blue.  

By Mikayla

Luigi came yesterday to Hub 5.  We sat in a circle.  He jumped in his cage.   

By Zara

Luigi came to school because Mrs Freddy wanted us to meet him.  Mrs Freddy took Luigi around the room.  He was very cute.  Luigi jumped to his traffic light.  Luigi made sure his feathers were in the right place.  Luigi is special because he is as blue as the sky. Luigi sounds like a singing bird.  Luigi looks like a baby bird.  But Luigi is not a baby bird he is a teenager bird.

By Mishara

Luigi sounds like a squeaky toy.  Luigi is black white blue and grey.  He is special because of his colour.  Luigi is cleaning himself.

By Anton

Luigi came to school and he came today.  Mrs Freddy wanted us to meet him because she thought that we might be glad.  He was in Hub 5 / 6.  He was jumping in his cage.  He was swinging.  He is a boy because Mrs Freddy said.  Luigi is as blue as the sea.  He is singing so sweetly.  His colour is special.  He is special because he can fly.  He has a treat and a sharp beak.

By Lucy

Luigi was flying and he was jumping around in his cage.  He is cute because he is blue.  He was walking side to side.  Luigi is black white blue and grey.  He has wings to fly.  Luigi uses his swing to sharpen his nails.  He is as blue as the sky.  Luigi is blue like my Stonefields top.

Maui and the Sun

We built our knowledge by reading Maui and the Sun.  

Next, we made meaning by summarising the story.  After that, we applied our understanding by creating our pastel and dye of the sun.  We collaborated by deciding what colours to use, and where to draw our koru.  

We are great artists!

Healthy Eating!

For Concept, Mrs. Freddy's writing group has been looking at healthy eating and what kind of food is healthy on the food pyramid.  

Here is a song that we performed to help us, and to help everyone at home!

Here are the words just in case!

Eat them everyday

Row, row, row your boat,

Gently down the stream,

Throw your sweets overboard,

So they can not be seen!

Fruit, veggies, milk and cheese,

Eat them everyday, 

Meat, eggs, bread and grain, 

Give energy to play!

Our concept learning is about water

Mrs Elliott's writing groups are looking at water.  How would these flowers help us find out how important water is to us? Some of flowers are in water, some are not.

"We were learning about water. We don't drink sea water, it is not good for you," said Micah.
"When you run and and drink water, water makes you cool off," said Jacqueline.
"We drink water because it helps us not get thirsty,"said Emma.
"When it is hot you will get sweaty when the sun is there, you need to drink water and have sun screen," said Sachintha.

Ashikka looking after her gingerbread child at home

Cookie children at home!

Have you been looking after your gingerbread child at home?

Here's Zahra with hers!

Writing about our 'children'

Most of us remembered to bring our gingerbread children back to school today... Ashikka and Zoe even spent time last night decorating their carry cases and Flynn gave his person a healthy dinner of broccoli!

Tonight we're all going home with them and will be thinking about what we can do to help keep them safe and healthy.  Try to get some pictures of you looking after your 'children' if you can, LH1!

Keeping our 'Children' Safe!

Today we started a new concept writing focus.

Some of our learners decorated biscuits to turn them into our children... we then made carry bags and containers for them to go home in.  Over the next few days we're going to be taking our children with us and doing our best to keep them safe.  I wonder what they might get up to!

Feel free to decorate them at home and take photos of what they do after and before school - be sure to keep them safe.

Is it ok to leave your child at home by themselves?

Is it ok to leave them out in the yucky weather?
