This week's Stars!

Congratulations to this week's Star Students, Tevita and Paige.

Showing responsibility and reliability Tevita and Paige have asked to take on the role of overseeing the care of our class netbooks. They check daily that all netbooks are returned and that they are charged and ready to be used again. We appreciate you Tevita and Paige! Thank you sooooooooo much for all of your effort!

Poetic Writing: Similes

We are learning to write similes. 

Today Room 10 used photos as motivation for creating similes that describe people.

Her hair looks like a clown's wig, all bushy and knotty.                  By Diamond
Her skin looks like wrinkly old paper flying around.                       By Ivoryana
She looks like a yucky old zombie but wrinklier and scarier.          By Tioni
Her skin is so wrinkly it looks like she has been in the pool for three years. By Sharniqua
Her face looks like a witch.                                                              By Shane
Her hair looks like a nest broken in half.                                         By Gregory
The old lady's hair was as gigantic as a giant.                                 By Paige 

We are looking forward to writing poems using similes that describe ourselves.

Watch this space!
