This week in Room five, we have been focusing on descriptive writing. We went on to the literacy shed website and picked a picture to describe. Here is my descriptive writing:
This morning I looked out of my bedroom window to see a beautiful golden sunrise, a sunny blue sky, and a fresh soft layer of white snow. The thick fog makes the field seem even more mystic.
I could hear the bluebirds softly tweet in the bare trees.
When I take each step gently strolling out the front door, I feel the snow crunch softly under my boots. I look back and see my footprints in the snow.
I tilt my head upward and try to spot animals in the fluffy clouds.
My hands feel warm inside my light blue woollen mittens.
I enjoy feeling the cool winter breeze blowing against my body.

Emelia and I chose to use cotton balls and paper towels. Here is what it looked like:

This is my worksheet:

This week in Room 5, we have been focusing on ANZAC day. Mrs Drummond our teacher has a box full of objects that each have the story about the person who owned it. Me and my partner Lucy made a brochure about a stained glass window. It is a story about two best friends who can't see each other because of the war. Here is the pamphlet we made:
This week in room five, we have been focusing on ANZAC day. We have done a number of things. One of them was when we made some art. First, we coloured a picture and cut it out. Secondly, we dyed a sheet of paper with the colours of our choice and stuck the picture on. Here is my art:
