Softball Sessions with Room 9

Christina came to our school and taught us how to play softball. We learned how to throw the ball correctly and how to catch it with a glove. We had lots of fun.
We played a game where we had to crouch and move to the side. We had to beat Christina to the other side of the hall. We almost won!

Written language in Room 9

We have a wonderful new writing programme that we do every day. We sit in a donut circle and talk about the topic. Mrs Craib tells us the things we are to talk about and we have to quickly tell our partner. Then she writes some of the things we say into our modelling book so we can look back and get ideas. Then we write as much as we can for 10 minutes - some of us need to remember fullstops and capital letters but most of us are trying to write more than 6 sentences. We have to work quickly. After the timer has gone we have to edit our work by checking the punctuation and the spelling. Our favourite part is counting how many words we have written and colouring in the graph in the back of our books.
