Room 8 Daily News

This week we have been looking at current events and reporting on them in our own newspapers. We decided to look at the NRL nines that happened over the weekend. First we researched one of our favourite matches from the weekend. We then took that information and created our own newspaper article. 

Below is Finau's version of the news. She reported on the Dragons and Cowboys finals match. She included some great information as well as giving the article a catchy title. Please click on Finau's name to access her blog and leave a positive comment. 

Here are some of our classes news articles. Please check them out and read them. We would love to hear your feedback so please leave us positive comments on our blogs. 

Kiarah, Adriana, Jordan, Zaria, Julianna and Suade have shared some amazing articles on their blogs so please check these out.  

Caving Narrative

This week we have created some great pieces of narrative writing. We had to pretend that we were caver in the picture and were descending into the cave to explore the beauty beneath. We had to think about our senses so that we could make our writing more interesting and exciting to people reading them. 

First we watched a video of what happens when you go caving so that we could get a sense of what we would be experiencing. We then brainstormed some ideas of what we could be doing in the cave. We had to work on keeping one idea per paragraph. We are also learning to show the reader what is going on through descriptive language rather than just telling them. Please check out some of our stories that we have written and share on our blogs this week: Angelica, Aye Myat, Kiarah, Tyson and Jordan.
