The students are working in Collaborative Clusters to present a News Report on Vietnam.
They must include the following information in their News Report:
Here are some photos of the students working in their groups.
Special mention to Mikayla’s group who decided to use Corkboard to collaborate and share ideas! Great work!
Check back in about a week to see the students presenting their News Reports.
Mr Kerrigan comes to our school every Tuesday to help students with their reading. He is a grandfather of one of the students in Senior School.
He noticed that we were learning about Vietnam and offered to share some information with us.
His brother, Peter, died while fighting in the Vietnam War and he has been over to visit Vietnam regularly.
He talked about Vietnam and showed many photos of people living and working there. He had visited some schools and he also shared about some of his experience of having a family member serve in the Vietnam War.
Thanks for visiting our class, Mr Kerrigan and sharing your amazing experience with us!
6L worked on writing Limericks today.
A Limerick is a humorous poem that consists of 5 lines.
Lines 1, 2, and 5 rhyme.
Lines 3 and 4 rhyme.
Here is a selection from the students…
There once was a man called Dan
He used to live in a van
He was a fool
With a backyard pool
And then he got hit by a fan
Harrison S
There once was a man called Adam
He had a very small atom
That split into two
To go to the zoo
The atom then found a boy called Tom
Dane
There once was a dog called Spot
Who though that he was quite hot
He jumped in the pool
He looked like a fool
Yet he happened to like it a lot.
Jacob
There once was a man called Fred
He always bumped his head in bed
He fell down the stairs
And messed up his hair
And married a guy called Kev
Rebecca
There once was a girl called Jaime
Who had a cousin called Amy
She had a dog called Pretty
And the dog ate a kitty
And so Jaime suddenly said, “Blame me”
Jaime
There once was a girl called Hayley
Who played a pink ukulele
She wasn’t so strong
And played it all wrong
Because she didn’t drink milk daily
Taylor K
There once was a girl called Georgia
That’s the name I would call ya
She had two little dogs
Who got lost in a fog
That’s why I call her ‘Poor Porgia’
Georgia
Which one do you like the best (and why)?
Maybe you could write one and post it as a reply!
Thanks for reading.
