We got some amazing descriptions. These were some of them.
Can you work out how many points each of our super writers got?
Hi Ruru, Punui-o-toka here. We really liked this idea, we might even try it one day with our writing! Miss Goslin's writing class is looking at punctuation next week so it would work out well. We like how your points system is really clear, did you guys come up with it yourself? Do you think you got better writing out of it? You are right, those descriptions are amazing! Good work.

ReplyDeleteWe love your idea of the points system. We will try that in Room 8 here at Hornby Primary School too! Your writers are so skilled at describing!
What did the pictures you described look like?
Thanks for sharing your learning, it helps our learning too!
