Chapter Chat - There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom

This term we have been part of Chapter Chat, a twitter based book chat. We have read a book called ‘There’s a Boy in the Girls’ Bathroom’ which is about a kid named Braddly. He's a big bully. He mets a kid named Jeff they became friends and the two walk into the girls' bathroom 

Every Friday we went on Twitter with other schools in New Zealand that are also part of Chapter Chat. When we are on Twitter we answered questions in small groups about what we had read in the last week. Each week we also had to complete at least one quality Chapter Chat activity to share on Twitter.

This is one of my activities this is a bathroom, but its a girls one. This is what Bradley thinks the girls' bathroom looks like.



This is my second activity this is my game its very tricky. The layout is underneath. I made this with Josiah.


This is my third activity what we had to create a new game to play at a birthday. With this game you have to hide food. Then you need to find them. I made this with Josiah.

What one was your favourite ?

My Haiku Poem

In Jackson's Studio, as part of our poetry unit for writing we have been learning how to write a haiku poem. A haiku poem is a popular Japanese poem that traditionally has three lines of 5, 7 and 5 syllables.

We took our notebooks into the playground and brainstormed words associated with an object. I chose a basketball hoop because I love basketball.

Next we came inside and composed our haiku poem using a website.

Here is mine, I hope you enjoy it.
