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!
