Tuia 250 inquiry began in Room 2: They used this image and removed the background. They then added their own  background and wrote favourite places they have been or places they would like to go. Check their BLOGS!

Writing in Room 2

Environmental Writing - using calendar pictures:

Room 2 have been using a scene from nature to write an Environmental Poem. First they identified the NOUNS and described them using ADJECTIVES. They then used VERBS to describe an action for their nouns and then described their verbs using ADVERBS.

See Teacher's example below:

Focus: To use adjectives and adverbs to describe a scene.

Determiners	Adjectives	Nouns	Verbs	Adverbs	Prepositional phrase
The	Wooly, white Golden cloaked Green and gold Regimental Snow topped	Sheep Trees Hills Fences Mountains	Eat Stand Nestle Guard tower	Hungrily Like soldiers Silently Posessively majestically	the fresh green grass Against the backdrop of mountains Behind the  lushgreen paddocks As the sheep graze Overlooking the life below

Wooly white sheep graze hungrily on the fresh green grass

Golden cloaked trees stand like soldiers against the towering backdrop

Green and gold hills nestle silently beyond the lush paddocks

Regimental fences guard possesively as the sheep wander

Snow-topped mountains stand majestically beneath the deep blue sky!

Camp Kaitawa - Year 6

The students had to build a raft using these plastic drums  and then row/paddle as a cooperative team.











                                               

The bravest student who walked the track to Waikareiti with a very bruised foot.

                                                Imagine if this was our                                                              everyday toilet. Some of us                                                        can  remember them from our
                                                childhood!

Waikareiti at last! An excellent place to have a snack.

                   The Power Station was huge. We heard all about where our power comes from and even
saw the ONE set of powerlines that carries our power to Gisborne.

A pet spider (well that is what I told the students amongst their screams)

Skits to entertain us all.

The Power Station outlet.

Camp Kaitawa 2019 - Year 6

Finally the day has come - the 2 hour hike and we were on the track to Lake Waikareiti. We arrived and changed into our togs and went swimming. This is the rock we swam to. We all had FUN!

Our view for the day. Guess where we are!
