Film Festival Entry 2009

We have been looking at instructional writing and so we decided to make an instructional Film on how to become G.I's Next Top Model. ENJOY!!!!

Making Paper Planes

We learnt about writing instructions last term. Our group had to write an exciting presentation using our set of instructions about making paper planes.

A Foxy Welcoming

Saint Pius X students welcomed Mr Coakley to our school on the first Monday of Term 4. Hilary Barry and Sam Samuels have a full update of the event!

Drumming Experience

As a group we the Phrases wrote a combined recount of our experience with Fraser Bruce the Drumming man. We enjoyed our experience so much and enjoyed recounting what happened.

Malia's Dinosaur Description/Report

Last term we studied both Reports and Descriptions and so I have put those two genres together to report on the description of a type of dinosaur.

Best Friends - Play

We worked on our presentation skills by producing a play into a movie!!

The Dreadful Test

In Term One we experienced a scary Writing test called The AsTTle Writing Test. We did well in the test but at the time it was rather dreadful feeling.

WELCOME TO 2009!!!

We are the new Literacy Class of Room 6 for 2009!!

We have been back at school now for a week and we have been looking at recounts during our Written Language time. Here are a few of our favourite recounts from this week......

As I woke up this morning, BAMM! the sun shone brightly. "Ahhhhhhh" yawning my head off and taking a great, huge stretch. I got up and walked over to the bathroom very slowly like an old man. When I reached the bathroom I brushed my teeth using my toothbrush with toothpaste splattered ontop of my brush. "Chchchchchchchch" my toothbrush went, sounding like a train on traintracks going through my teeth. I finally finished brushing my teeth and I looked in the mirror and my teeth were sparkling like golden stars in the night.

The bell shrilled as it was 10:30am, morning tea time had started and all the students had grins on their faces. They rushed over to their bags to get their lunch and hurried outside to eat their scrumptious morning tea. They relaxed on the seats as the sun shone over them like hot boiling water was pouring down on them. Gloria pulled my arm so hard that it felt like she pulled my whole arm right off. We walked around the school and past the senior playground. The senior playground was crowded like a heap of ants on a piece of old, yucky bubble gum. We walked past the field and watched as the boys played with their sweaty, red faces and girls walked around.

What an exhausting day it was! Birds chirping, sun shining bright and me feeling like ice-cream melting because it was so hot!
Walking to the church was very irritating as I was sweating like there was no tomorrow, but the weather was awesome to play in for the day. I hoped I could go for a swim so I could cool down a bit!
Step by step......walking so slowly, didn't know how long I could survive in the weather. Finally two steps away.......and then reached the front of the church. I just flopped down and relaxed till it was time to go home!!
