My Book by Zoran

We have been learning to make digital storybooks and even shared our knowledge with Room 9 students this week. Room 4 thought it was fun working collaboratively.

Zoran took it one (or two) steps further and created this amusing book which we can use as an exemplar for next time.


Descriptive writing this week in Room 4.

Dear Parents,

Room 4 have written some incredible descriptions this week using www.buildyourwildself.com website as motivation. They created their "Wildself" then they wrote about him or her. After that they recrafted their writing, read it over to a buddy and many shared their work with the whole class. Finally, when they felt confident to record their writing, they found a quiet spot outside of the classroom and armed with an ipad, off they went to record their description.

We would love your constructive feedback, one positive comment and perhaps one suggestion for an improvement. (But as we will be continuing to view and reflect on each others work in class time,  just a comment about one aspect of your child's work or someone elses' would be valuable for the students).

Thank you!

Milla's Wildself!

Bruno's Wildself!

Aoi's Wildself
