Recount Writing - Our Awesome Museum Trip - By Ruby

Recount Writing - Room 11 have learning how to write a recount. We worked really hard to make sure we included a title, orientation, sequence of events and a personal comment. We needed to use time connectives like first, then and next. See if you can find the ones Ruby used. We also tried hard to make it interesting.

Our Awesome Museum Trip!

On Tuesday Room 11 and Room 24 went to the museum to learn about insects. In my team there was my mum, Ethan and Danielle. First of all we had our yummy morning tea. Next we got to have a look around the museum. We saw a huge shark and I saw a penguin! We had a photo with Miss Ramsay's group. My favourite thing was looking at all the clothes. Then it was lunch time. Lunch was delicious. Finally it was our turn to go to the weird and wonderful to learn about insects. I learnt about a dung beetle and how they put poo underground. I looked in the microscope too. I want to go there again.

Summer Beach Art

Have a look at our Summer Beach Art Below...

First of all we painted our background to look like the sea. We had to mix the dark blue, light blue and white paint together to get a mix of colours. Next we used pastels to colour in our jandals - we had to choose bright, vibrant colours. Once our sea was dry we painted the white waves. After that we had to glue the sand on the bottom....this was really mucky and took a long time!!! Last of all we glued on our jandals and our shells.

Don't you think they look great!?

In writing time we brainstormed ideas about what summer was....what did we do? What did we see and hear? We wrote sentences together to represent what summer was to us as a class.
