Get New Zealand Writing 2017:   

School Kit Writing Project

Room 5 participated in the NZ Schools School Kit Writing Project

We learnt about metaphor's and used them on our postcard for our partner school, and wrote about our classroom and school. It was a lot of fun. 

Take a look at what we did:

Making Bread!

SHARED READING EXPERIENCE

Room 5 have read the big book 'Bread'. After researching about different types of breads and all of the processes making bread, we decided to make our own bread in the classroom.

Amanda brought in her bread maker from home and we used our maths measuring skills to measure out the ingredients needed for our loaf.

After 3 1/2 hours, a lot of excitement and yummy smells, our loaf was ready to eat. We all got a big slice and buttered it just in time for lunch.

Room 5 did some lovely recount writing to retell their experience!
