Story Writing with Miss Kingston

This morning our tamariki went outside. Together we looked around us at all the things we could do. The tamariki pointed at the grass and said it was sparkling. The children picked up the grass and felt the droplets of water, we talked about dew and when it forms. We saw the flowers in the garden bed. Our learners used their senses of smell, sight and touch to examine the flowers and the grass. Here are some stories that the children wrote.  
By Miss Kingston. 

The Pretty Flowers 
Today we went outside and we were in front of Room Six and we smelt the flowers and it smelt beautiful. By Sione. 

Today outside we looked at the flowers. We found water on the grass and felt the flowers and the grass, it was wet.  By Hineiturama. 

Today outside we saw the sun shining on the grass. We went to the grass and we went to the garden by Room 6. By Oshin.

The Pretty Flower 
Today me and my class went outside and we smelt the flowers and do you know that it makes me sneeze? By Anthony.

Flowers 
We picked up a flower and we smelt the flowers. It smelt like flowers and we passed them to each other.

Where is Mrs Golder? by Farhan

Today Mrs Golder is probably sick with a cold. She is probably at the doctor's and she has some medicine for a sore throat. I miss Mrs Golder very much.
