Room 11 Chocolate Hedgehogs

 In Week 9, Room 11 learnt about Procedural/Instructional Writing. We studied the purpose of Instructional Writing, the structure of writing recipes and looked at including action verbs, linking words and precise vocabulary in our writing.

As an incentive, our class decided to make some chocolate hedgehog slices. We worked in groups, created our recipes and then on Wednesday, we spent the whole middle block making our slices.

Here are some photos of how our cooking day went.

A dance to remember...

 For Writing, we have been looking at Explanation Writing. Miss Tupou decided to make it a bit more fun and help us remember the structure of an Explanation, by learning a dance move for each aspect.

For Explanation Structure - we identified it as: 

Title, Orientation (General Statement), Definition (Defining the phenomenon), Processes (Sequenced Paragraphs), and Conclusion.

Here is a video of our class dance to remember the structure of an Explanation.

Wint's Writing - Hope

Hope - by Wint

Is there any reason for me to live? I complain on the

longevous bench while I clutch myself away from the

glacial snow and my regrets. The lights behind me

rapidly turn off and on leaving me with undivulged

thoughts. The tulip reminded me of my brother.

He had a bright spirit and was always by my side.

He was suppose to be by my side forever. 

But everything didn't matter after he passed.

I sit here every day

thinking of our memories together… I had hope!
