DESCRIPTIVE WRITING

We are learning to write a description:

When I walk into my bedroom I see clouds when I look out the window. When I’m tired I sleep in my warm bed with my nightlight on. There are no monsters in my bedroom, it makes me very happy. I get mad and shut the door to be by myself. I like to play pretend games with Kelly.

By André

In Room 14 I can see the work that the children and teachers in my class have done. I can feel the fuzzy carpet spreading across my hand. I can also feel the fresh air from outside coming towards the classroom. Sometimes the class smells like a land of smelly socks. I can hear the birds chatting and chirping to each other. I also hear the wind whispering. That really makes me cheerful. I love my colourful classroom.

KEI TE PEHEA KOE?

THANK YOU IAN AND PETER!

Our Social Skill focus has been ‘ Looking after the Environment’. We thought about the people who really help look after the Nelson Central School Environment and decided we needed to thank them.

Peter and Ian are our school caretakers and they do an amazing job. We wrote them letters to say ‘Thank-you’.

Astrid and Ayla gave them their letters at assembly.

Dear Peter and Ian,

Thank you for taking care of the school and for getting the balls off the roof. Thank you for taking care of the garden and building stuff for us. You do a great job.

From Hunter

Dear Peter and Ian,

Thank you for tidying our pool and garden and environment. Thank you for turning our heaters on. Thank you for being very friendly. Thank you for opening and shutting our bike cage. You are outstanding.

From Tavie

Dear Peter and Ian,

Thank you for making our environment clean and healthy and for picking up the rubbish. I like the green environment that you guys make. You’re great workers.
