Chapter Chat - There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom

This term we have been part of Chapter Chat, a twitter based book chat. We have read a book called ‘There’s a Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom’ which is about two boys Bradley & Jeff. A counsellor came to the school and at first Bradley hated the counsellor. But when he had another visit the counsellor gave him some advice.

Every Friday we went on Twitter with other schools in New Zealand that are also part of Chapter Chat. When we are on Twitter we answered questions in small groups about what we had read in the last week. Each week we also had to complete at least one quality Chapter Chat activity to share on Twitter.

This is one of my activities where I have completed what I thought the parents garage would look like in the book. It has white dots with a purple background.

This is my second activity where Lachlan and I made a cake with orange and blue strips under it. It was Colleen's birthday cake except our version of it.

What one was your favourite? Mine was the birthday cake because working with a buddy is very easy.

Haiku poem

In Jackson's Studio, as part of our poetry unit for writing we have been learning how to write a haiku poem. A haiku poem is a popular Japanese poem that traditionally has three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables.

We took our notebooks into the playground and brainstormed words associated with an object. I chose the slide because it was the most easiest thing I could do.

Next we came inside and composed our haiku poem using a website.

Here is mine, I hope you enjoy it.
