Cross country

Last week we had cross country. We ran around St Lenards park three times!
We got puffed at the end. Everyone in room 9 did really well. Miss Dippie and Mrs Ngan were really proud of us. Sophie, Quinn, and Stella got in the top 10 for the year three girls. Makyh and Thom got in the top 10 for the year 4 boys.

Show Not Tell

This week Mrs Ngan has been teaching us writing.  She showed us this cool website called Storybird where we can make our own books using images that they have on the site.  We had to choose an image and write a show not tell description about it.  Here is our first book. It is by James, Thom, Hannah, Ben, Jak, Guy and Sophie.

Show not Tell Book 1 on Storybird

Show not tell

We have been learning to write setting descriptions that show not tell the reader what we are writing about.

Here is one from Thom.

There is dirt whooshing into my eyes, kids screaming with laughter. A giant Eiffel Tower of rope above me. My face sweating, my tummy hungry.

Annah Mac's Visit to Sumner

Annah Mac came to Sumner School today because Jamie in Room 14 won a song writing competition. Her prize was for Annah Mac to perform her song. We liked the way she sung and played the guitar. We got to help her sing Girl in Stilettos.
