Dress Ups

We used the dress ups to create a character. Room 8 was buzzing with laughter and creativity.





We used the writing skills we have been practising this year to write a character description or a story with the character we created from the dress ups.

I am a poor lady in a blue dress. I have a brown bag with nothing and no money in the bag very very nothing at all. I had skin colour and green old shoes. I walked down the street. I wanted to shop to shop to shop but I didn't have enough money to buyu food to eat the food. I was starving all the way home. Along the way I saw Wonder Woman I was thinking she can bring me food. She flew away and brought some food back for me to eat.

There is a very talented girl from Ecwescher High School named Rarity! She has white skin and beautiful twisty purple hair. The thing Rarity loves to do the most is making dresses for her friends . She knows a little talking dragon dog loves her. Rarity has her own dog called Lee. Sometimes Rarity steals her sisters name Sweetie Belle. Rarity steals her jewellery. Rarity's eyes are as blue as the sea and with her make up on she looks like a princess! Rarity's house is pink, purple, blue and really light green same with inside. BUT one day Princess Cleslesta came to see Rarity she could not believe her eyes because she was such a big fan. She did what she wanted make her dresses. Would you like a dress from Rarity?

One day I saw an evil grandmother lurking down the shadowy street. Suddenly she flicked around and saw me. Her face was a bears face and her snout was two inches poking out. Suddenly she kicked down the door of the bank so I called her Kungfu Grandma. Se had a scarlet shawl that disguised her bear fur. Her dress came all the way down to her toes. She even kept standing on her dress ans stumbling over. 
Blasting out of where the door once stood wit her sacks filled with hundred dollar notes she jumped in a two meter high pram shaped car. It had pink cushioning on the seats. Suddenly an over sized machine gun popped up out of the roof of the pram. "FIRE" shrieked the old woman as she sped out of sight. Speeding down the road came the cops. Who called the cops? Whatever, we now have to get the money back into the bank today ad the wild chase began.

Author Max

On a strange foggy night a strange person came in the moonlight. He had a night black mask like the face of a bat. A cape that would stretch into jet black bat wings. Some pitch black batamarangs and raven black grappling hooks. He didn't like Superman. His nick name was the Black Knight. His worst enemy is the Joker. When he moves he moves like the wind. He saves people from bad guys. It was Batman. Batman was nearly going to say hi to me until a giant robot that looked like the Joker and the Joker came. He tried to shoot the robot in the tummy so the kryptonite would explode. The kryptonite was the thing that powered the robot machine. When the robot machine nearly shot Batman the batmarangs hit the kryptonite and KABOOM BLAST BOOM went the robot machine. Hip hip hooray. Hip hip hooray.

Walking down the alley I saw an old grandma looking poor. She had a long red dress and an old modernified bandanna. She had sparkly bluey greeny eyes and Harry Potter type glasses that were half way down her nose. The red dress was as red as a rose and went down to her toes. Her bandanna was covered with orange and blue fish. The lady's skin was as white as snow. There were ruffles at the end of her dress she was tripping on while she was walking down the path. The lady's shoes are as black as the night sky when the moon is in its pit. Her eyes were shining in the glimpse of the moon. The grandma's teeth were as yellow as cheese. She reached inside a window and grabbed a bunch of asparagus and a fish, she must have been hungry, then carried on walking. A man was sitting down beside a fish and chip shop. The old lady went up to the man and slapped him on the face really hard. She pulled out a wallet from the mans pocket and walked down the path some more. The old lady was slowing down she stopped at an old deserted college with broken windows and ripped curtains two blocks down from the shop. The old lady started running so I call her THE AMAZING GRANDMA.

Adding Quality Detail

We are learning to make decisions about the detail we add to our writing. We are thinking carefully about the detail we use to make sure it is the best detail for the reader.

Read our writing and see if we achieved our goal of adding quality detail to our writing.

What is that glowing from? The glow came from the magic key then I landed somewhere. Where am I? It has crocodile green, emerald green all around me. There were noises all around me chomp, chomp, rustle, rustle. The ground felt like it was made out of rotten trees. It was the jungle. We looked around and saw a toucan looking at us. After a minute looking at the toucan it called its flock to ambush us. They started shooting us with orange seeds, bird poo and fruit. They flew as fast as sound at us. While they shot us we ran as fast as a race car on 100 speed. While we were running we met a man behind a tree. The man had jungle camouflage clothes, a hat and a moustache. . He also had a sword he knocked the seeds away  and sliced the fruit in half. All of a sudden the key glowed and we arrived back home. When we arrived home we had a feather of a toucan in my hair.

Twinkle twinkle the key began to glow brighter and brighter. I noticed my room disappeared. The colour got brighter the key got darker. "What, where am I now? Aha there is a door." Creek! All I saw was just green everywhere. I hope there are no evil animals. "O O Ah Ah!" What was that? "Oh hello medium sized monkey. Wait don't hurl that banana! Okay hurl the banana...haha you missed me! Oh you got me now." Just then I fell into a stinky swamp. "Gooey" I stammered. I stared at the not see through water. The water was filled straight up to my neck. I felt gooey and slimy. Finally  got out. "That's so much mischief today." Suddenly the magic key began to glow. Finally I've got home. "Yay I'm home. I didn't like this adventure today."
Author Rana

Is the key glowing? Aahhhhh P-p-p-p-p.
"What a lovely place". Ooooo that's cute a monkey. I crept a bit closer and noticed it was feeding a baby. The monkey looked angry because we got too close. The monkey started throwing banana peels from a couple of years ago. Thankfully he missed. We carried on going. We came to a rope bridge. It was 100 meters down to the jagged ground. It doesn't look stable. Wibble wobble wibble wobble snap. Wibble wobble. "Ahhh we made it to the other side where it was safe. Crash. Bang. Wow lucky we weren't on there. The key began to glow. Its time to go home. Ding. We are home safe and sound.
Author Ruby

Twinkle twinkle. The key that I found in the basement glowed. Suddenly I was in a jungle. "Where am I ?" I said to myself. I felt itchy because of all the mosquitoes in the air. Oo aa oo oo! I heard a monkey. "Excuse me. Do you know the way out of here?" "Yes see that fat hole go to it and jump in." the monkey answered. "Ahhhhh!" I screamed. 

Out of no where a python appeared. My muscles wouldn't move. Inside I felt petrified. It got closer and closer and closer and closer. "Run!!!" I cried. My back touched a tree "Err err" I climbed up the tree. A vine "Weeeeeeeeeee!!!" Smack! I crushed the pythons skull with my feet.

Twinkle twinkle. The key glowed. I was back home and I had a mini monkey toy in my hand. I wondered if I am going on another adventure? 
Author George
We love reading the magic key stories. We used this book as our inspiration for our writing and had our own adventures in the jungle. 

The Magic Key books model how to connect the beginning of a piece of writing to the end.

Naan Bread and Rangoli

Together with our buddy class we are preparing for Market Day at the end of Week 5                      (14 November). 
We are making decisions about the healthy snack we are going to sell at Market Day.

We have made naan bread, both plain and garlic, and are deciding which will be best for Market Day.







We read books about rangoli patterns and made some of our own. The Kidd-li-winks and Room 2 worked really well together to create their patterns. Rangoli is usually made during Diwali and are welcoming patterns. 







Some of the beautiful rangoli created






A big thank you to all the parents who have come in and helped us during our making and creating. We appreciate it lots.
