Get Ready for Creative Writing Festival!!

Hi Grade 5,

This week in English we will have a SPECIAL CREATIVE WRITING FESTIVAL! Yeah! You will learn to write descriptively about a creature that you will design in your Macbook. Take a look at this screen shot. I have downloaded Spore Creature Creator. 

You will learn to describe:

What it looks like.

How it moves.

What it eats.

AND

What it sounds like.

We will use alliterative sentences, your Mac thesaurus and a new draft writing system. A combination of paper drafts and digital drafts.

The software involved will be Spore Creature Creator, Comic Life, and Keynote. You will show off your creatures during Bookweek. Can't wait 'til Tuesday!

New Blog

Yesterday I made a new blog. You can see it here http://1two1.edublogs.org

Take a look!

Sharing the Planet

Today in Grade 5 we started our exhibition process. We explored the theme of 'Sharing the Planet'.
Zaky said "Without each other we cannot live" this is about Interconnectiveness
Leo said "Take good care of the earth" this is about Responsibility

Carl said "We should all lend a helping hand and keep our earth green and clean".

Gaudi said "We share our planet with the many, many people that live on the planet".

So Grade 5, what do you say? You need to post your own definition on your own blog.

Alliterative Sentences

Here are the sentences that we did in English today.

1. The cat curled up on the cushion and cried.

2. One Saturday a silly snake slithered in the sand.

Complete each sentence up to number 6.

Kung Fu SWA Style

This video was shot this morning during rehearsal. It is of a performance by Gr 5 from Sinarmas World Academy for the Gong Xi Fa Cai celebration at school. This Kung Fu performance was learned very quickly by the class.
