Respect and sportsmanship

This week we had a focus on what respect and sportsmanship looks like. In groups we got given an issue. From there, we had to think of a way to prevent the issue happening, rules that we could make to stop the issue if it happens and a way we could show respect in that situation.

Check out some of the ideas that we came up with. Maybe these ideas could help you!

Jaden's Climbing Story

This is Jaden's Climbing story. Tell him what you think of the way he has told a character, action and some feelings.

This week in writing we had a challenge for our descriptive writing. Our challenge was to get as many points as we could using writing features. This is how we scored points.  

Points system:

You will be awarded 1 point each time you add;

• An interesting adjective (describing word)
• A correctly placed punctuation mark.

You will be awarded 2 points if you have;

• An opening paragraph that hooks the reader in
• A concluding paragraph that sums up what has been described
• A new paragraph for something you are describing

You will be awarded 5 points each time you add;

• A simile
• A metaphor
• Alliteration over 3 words long (eg lovely, luscious, lemon)

You will be given bonus points for style

We got some amazing descriptions. These were some of them.

Can you work out how many points each of our super writers got?
