Welcome to scroll down and check out our WICKED WRITING page!!!
Welcome to Room 6's Wikispace for Learning!!Term 4!
We willhave all have a page each which will showbeen working extremely hard at improving our learning goals for literacywriting through reflective thinking! Each day we had to edit our writing using our success-o-meter and numeracy.
Mrs Keightley has found that somehave learned how to give feedback to our peers in small groups. All of us need help with building simple and compound sentences, as well as being able to identify nouns, verbs, adjectiveshave improved our writing at least one sub level on our school writing continuum. We all chose one piece of writing we believed to be ableour best in relation to use a variety of language features.
We needthe learning we had covered in writing and sat with Mrs Keightley to reflect usingset our thinking hats,next learning steps. You will see these next steps on our success-o-meter and then try outindividual pages. Most of our new skillsin-class work was through daily practice in writing using success criteria. However, we also had specific vocabulary / literacy games to play at reading time to help improve our knowledge of adjectives, nouns, verbs and building sentences. We also used the learning links on our wiki and school intranet as ICT tools. Some of us used Kidpix to type our writing or Photo booth to setrecord what we said. These two tools were great for showing us how important it is to check spelling and that what we say makes sense. Over the next two weeks we will be putting what we think is a STUNNING piece of writing on our "wherepages to next"share with Mrs Keightley.you and you can give us feedback as to whether our goals are being met!
