Cinquain poem

WALT write a cinquain poem

As part of our writing, we learned about the cinquain poem. It's a 5-line poem with nouns, verbs, adjectives and a sentence. Because we are focusing on the sea creatures as part of our inquiry - sustainability and conservation - we drew the picture of the shark, as our poem was on them. 

I am learning to sound out vowels as the middle sounds, and write silly sentences.

"I like to write Silly Sentences because they are easy."

I am learning to write my idea in a sentence that makes sense.

"Sometimes I forget to do my finger spaces.  I remember the full stops.  I am good at drawing the pictures.  My friends and Mrs Wyatt helps me."

I am learning to match pictures to my writing.

"I like the writing.  Mrs Wyatt helps me."

Descriptive Words

We are learning to add interesting language to our story.

In Story Writing we have been brainstorming adjectives (describing words) and trying to use them in our stories to make our work sound more exciting.  Guy Fawkes gave us the opportunity to practise some of these words:

"Describing words are easy", said Ina.

I am learning to write a sentence

In Writing I have been learning how to write a sentence.  First I draw my picture and write the date.  Then I take my work to Mrs Tetupu and I tell her what my picture is.  She writes the sentence and then I go and copy underneath.  My final step is to write my name.

"I write my name", said Ina.
