Our Garden Bed
WOW! Just look at how things have grown in two weeks! It must be the good watering they are getting. Thank you for going down to water them every day. They love it!

Our Patch Structures – Our School
I love how enthusiastic you were when we went out to draw our faction icons into our booklet! Remember, the doors to the Undercover Area weren’t there on the 2012 map (10 years ago!) I’m really glad they are there now, and that they have been decorated too.
Sizzling Starts – Engage your Reader from your first words…
This week we started using our draft writing books to write SIZZLING STARTS for narratives (stories). Remember, you only have 10 seconds to persuade your reader that they really want to read your story. Using a sizzling start you can engage your reader from your first line of your story!
We looked at the video below to learn different strategies to use to create a SIZZLING START. Watch it again and again to check out other ways you can start your stories – but remember….Start with THE MOMENT OF ACTION and BAN THE ORDINARY! Look carefully at the examples of good writing in this video.
VIDEO EXPLAINING AND GIVING EXAMPLES FOR YOU TO CREATE SIZZLING STARTS.
Then you had a go at brainstorming in groups of 3 on our whiteboards, shared your work in a class circle, then had a go writing Your own sizzling start ON YOUR OWN while I timed you [10 minutes!] The title of our story was: GHOSTS REALLY DO EXIST!
I was super impressed with your creative ideas when you shared your writing. Remember, when it’s a sizzling start you need to make sure that you do not start telling the story. That comes next. 😎
Here are a couple of your brainstorms and you can see how hard at work you guys were.
WOW! What a great start to your story writing skills! 🙂
Way to go, Room 6!
