Writing Wizards

Room 5 have been having a great time writing.  We've been working on using adjectives (describing words) in our writing to make our writing more interesting and to 'paint a picture' in the reader's mind. We have been inspired by some fun language experiences - hands-on activities to really get the descriptive language flowing.

Two of our recent experiences were a baking soda volcano, from which we made some creative acrostic poems and later some volcano art, and most recently experiencing the smell, sight and feel of shaving cream on our hands!

to come up with amazing ideas or to adapt ideas we have seen.

As a class, we decided on making Pom Pom Poppers and Galaxies in Jars.  

We have been planning, testing and figuring out what we need to make these amazing products for sale.  We've made so many Pom Pom Poppers already, and our Galaxy Jars will follow on afterwards.  We can't wait to sell them to you and others on Market Day!
