Arahi's Wow Moment

WALT use language features

Yesterday Arahi had a wow moment when he discovered onomatopoeia in his guided reading book Owls in the Garden.  It was, "whoo,whoo," and "Tu-whit, tu-whoo."

Elizabeth conencted this to her writing and made up these sentences using onomatopoeia:
"Tu whit ti whoo," the tui chirped.The monster went, "chomp, chomp, chomp."

"Slurp, slurp, slurp," said the pig while eating.
'Sh sh sh shhhh," said Mum
My gumboots went squish, squish.
The rain maker shook, SSSS   SSSSSS
"Ioow! " I said when I stepped in cow poo.

Rapunzel Retell.

 This morning we worked in five groups to retell the events from the u tube clip we watched called Rapunzel.

We used the thinking hats to think about how our learning went.

• Yellow hat: Joshua liked seeing the clip.  Anneliese's group worked in unity.  Erika liked sharing ideas with others.
• Black hat: Our group didn't listen to each other and all wanted to talk at the same time.  I heard a lot of arguing. Ella.  We could have thought of better words to put in our sentences.  Dominic.
• Green hat:   Make a table group s we don't have to move around. Gabi. Split our writing book into a storyboard and write the series of events on our own. Zavier. Use the storyboard for an animation.Jack. We could do a donnut.Mekaela.
