The Builder's Pet Story Window.

We read a story called the Builder's Pet.

We had to pick out the 4 main ideas - including the problem, the solution and the ending.

We illustrated each idea onto a strip of card.

We read our story to buddies in Room 10.

Show don't tell.

We wrote a piece about winter but we were not allowed to say the word winter!

We had to show the reader it was winter.

Then we asked Room 13 to help us to log into Google Docs and publish it.

The Field of Remembrance

The white crosses mark the soldier's spot

Golden leaves surround the crosses.

The names on the crosses were people who went to war.

The classrooms protect the Field of Rememberance.

Arlo

The leaves surround the crosses like a golden carpet.

Classrooms protect the crosses.

Children stand thoughtfully, wondering who theses soldiers are..

Amrit.

The leaves make a golden carpet around the crosses.

They flutter down from the trees.

The children wonder why there is a nurse among the soldiers crosses.

We will remember them.
