Narrative Stories

This term we are learning to write narratives. Here are the success criteria.
1. My story will have a beginning, middle and an end.
2. It will be written in the past tense.
3. It will include some adjectives.
4. I will use different sentence beginnings.

Here are some of our first attempts at writing narratives.

Once upon a time a monster lived in a tower. But one day his tower started to disappear. A stranger came and said, "If you do what I say, your castle will come back. Go and find the golden key." So he did just what the stranger told him and he lived happily ever after.

Seven hundred years ago there lived a good man. He made potions in a tall tower. He wanted to drill to the centre of the earth. He was going well. Then there was a large air wave. The drill fell with him in it. He landed on a deserted island. He found himself stuck. He saw a dinosaur. It chased him. Then they started to make friends. The man fed the dinosaur leaves. The leaf eating dinosaur got fish for the man. They lived happily ever after.

Nelson Mask Parade

We made masks typical of Native Americans. On Friday night, 16 October, we marched down the street with our school to celebrate the opening of the Nelson Arts Festival. We sang part of Bob Marley's song, One love, One heart, let's get together and feel alright. Room 2 played percussion instruments to accompany us, along with teachers and parents who played other instruments. We saw lots of people we knew as we were marching along.

Week 7 - Suter Art Gallery Trip

We visited the Suter Art Gallery to see the John Bevan Ford exhibition. We saw how he fills his pictures with designs. He does not colour in. Some parts of Maori legends were in his pictures. We filled in a manu with different designs. We are going to draw a background with chalk pastels to mount our manu on.
