For this writing activity we sat down with 4 people at the table. Each person had a piece of paper. Everyone wrote one sentence and folded that sentence so that the next person couldn't see it. Then we passed all the papers clockwise and the next person wrote a sentence on the paper and folded it down, until we ran out of space on the pieces of paper.
Here are our four silly stories.
1. There once was an octopus in the swimming pool.
I love this holiday very much.
The amazing iced and sprinkled doughnut was life size and roamed through the lollipop trees of candy land.
"Starbucks" exclaimed Mum in an exhilarating tone of voice, before everyone else, she had ordered her favourite ten decision-step long one coffee order.
Once upon a time a girl called Elsemargien ate a worm and then burped!
Today we go to Kerikeri and I have to find a mailbox, that is not so easy as there are only a few.
The sneaky prowling cat watched the cow play his fiddle and jump over the moon.
2. The big blue beautiful balloons bobbed around with the baboons.
The little cute Tiger finally came home, carefully put one of his ginger paws through the cat-flap in search of some delicious smelling food waiting for him to sooth his adventurous ravenging growling tummy.
The bike looked as fiery as a fire.
I like doing family games and love it when we are all laughing.
The jelly bean rain drenched everyone and everything including the Fanta river, rainbow candyfloss clouds, lollipop trees and Easter egg bushes.
The children hesitantly entered the classroom, putting their holiday experiences on hold, eagerly readying themselves for an awesomely fun and action packed second school term.
3. The girls galliantly invited the two new visiting sibling sisters into the pool to play Marco Polo.
He looked cute and shy.
Granddad is swimming everyday too!
The sun streamed through the water, creating underwater patterns.
Marmalade cheekily chuckled and challenged Bebebeer to beat the boredom by jumping up and down the bed and playing a game of truth or dare.
That baby ate sunscreen all the time and always vomited it out again.
What will I wear today, a dress or trousers?
We fly to Europe in three days.
4. I woke up twice last night.
The creepy noise echoed through the room and kept ringing in my ears.
Everyone at the table laughed lovingly at the hilarious mix-up of words and actions.
The trees stand as high as the clouds but an adventurous boy called Ron went up one of them.
In the river I saw a man swimming and I thought he was drowning, but I was happy that it was a buoy and not a man at all.
The jaffa rock caused the gummy dinosaur to tumble into the bubbling boiling caramel volcano.
"Oooops!" exclaimed Mum, when she spotted "palm oil" as one of the ingredients on the list of the packet of biscuits that the family had used for one of their science experiments.
May we pretty pretty please do more science and art next term! It can be in any shape or form! For science we can learn about the ancient times, physics, Earth, Astronomy, Life, Chemistry. We can do this in or outside RM 32. When I say art I mean things like sewing, Visual Arts like: drawing, collage, printing, painting, or Performance art like drama or dance. We could do this in Term two in a certain block on Thursday or Friday. If our class agrees to do this we can possibly do it in groups of five and do research on new materials and do a rotation of science and art. We would be able to do this because it will improve our creativeness. We can also sell some of our art for our topic - Enterprise. It can be an incentive for our other work to accomplish so that we can do art or science after. We could also link our Reading, Writing and Maths to the art and science. Miss Cooper, can we please have more art and science lessons in term two? Art in various ways improves our creativeness in general and it can help us improve in other educational areas too. We could research new techniques and materials and organise ourselves. We could rotate over 10-11 weeks. We could make things and use it for our Enterprise.
