Sharing our Writing

In Room 10 we love sharing our writing. Today we shared our descriptive application letters for the job in the South Pacific. We had to write a letter to a company saying we would like to apply for the job and the qualities we had to bring to it. We shared with a buddy and then a few people shared with the whole class. We then decided which applicants we thought had written great letters describing themselves. 

Here are a few bits of our wonderful writing:


"I would like to apply for the job on the remote island for saving the quarter ton tortoises as there are only 98 left. I am strong so I would be able to move them to a safe spot." Hugh

"I am cunning, daring, I'm an animal lover, I have 56 animals at home and I know how to survive so I think I'll be qualified for this job." Imogen

"I am really really good with animals. I have a pet turtle at home so I'm used to turtles and I've always wanted to go to the Pacific." Polly

"I am magnificent at climbing trees and I'm a great survivor." Amelie

"I feel that I would be perfect for this job because I am caring for animals. I am quick so if a turtle needs help or a baby I can help them." Ava

"I am good at making treehouses so if I need to look after the turtles or heal them up I can take them up to the treehut." Millie

"I would like to apply for the job in the Pacific. I feel I would be perfect for this job because I adore animals." Georgie

"I am good at caring for animals." Poppy

"I can do 40 press-ups without stopping." Eve

A lovely time on our intrepid journey with lots of exploring with the Year 3/4 team - Shared Writing by Room 10

Today Friday 7th March we walked to the amazing beach in Sumner because our Quail Island trip had to be cancelled. We did some survival games and looked for hazards. On the way we saw glass fragments and broken concrete and lots of signs about hazards. We talked about the rough sea and undertows. We saw Cave Rock with the rocks all smashed on the ground.

When we went there the beach was beautiful, bold and bright. The tide was smashing on the rocks.

One of the team work activities was that we sat back to back and we needed to get up on our feet without using hands but using each other and team work. We saw Room 9's Year 3 boys pretending that there was a magic carpet and they were 100 metres high and they had to turn it over without getting off.

It looked hard because there were lots of people on it and they were all doing their own thing, and it was really hilarious. It's harder than it looks.

After that we went to a different part of the beach to build sand castles and things out of sticks.

Some of us used sticks, sand, shells, feathers and wood. Paige, Poppy and Selene made a double sandcastle. We were exploring and discovering new things to use for our sand castles. Eve and Hazel were pretending that part of the beach was a building and we were selling fire wood and we buried 2 of the special sticks. Matthew, Oscar, Olly, Dion and Callum were making different sandcastles and a few holes.

 There were a few spiky balls around so we put them on some of our sandcastles. Jonah and James were trying the back to back challenge together. When they were doing it they accidentally lost control and crashed into the sandcastle.

Polly and Amelie took turns with the back to back challenge too.

Then Ava and Polly tried it and Ava carried Polly around on her back. Then Polly and Amelie made a sandcastle. We also found mermaid tears.

When we went to the beach we took lots of photos. It was an exhilirating time.
