Harry Potter and Silent Writing
Harry Potter
During our read aloud sessions in Term 3
and the beginning of Term 4 Year 3 read the book Harry Potter and the
Philosopher's Stone. The children and the teachers we very engrossed in the
book and could not wait for 11.30 to come each day. The students have written a
book review in their blog.
Student blog review:
Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone
is written by J.K. Rowling. Year 3 had the pleasure of reading Harry Potter
last term. In the story Harry Potter and his friend Ron and Hermione defeat a
troll and play the biggest chess game in Hogwarts. They also defeat Voldemort
and win the house cup. It was amazing!
This book would be great for any age
whether you are 6 or 100.
Silent Writing
This term Year 3 participate in 10 minutes
of silent writing after lunch. This is an opportunity for the children to write
for enjoyment and to practice strategies they have learnt in our guided writing
lessons and during literacy groups. The students have been very engaged and
many of them have produced fantastic blurbs for stories they are going to write
about.
CHALLENGE
If you have a blurb or a piece of writing you would like to share, write it in the comment section.

Lately for 10 minutes after lunch we
have been doing silent writing. It is a time when we can calm our bodies and
improve our writing. Each afternoon we set ourselves a goal such as punctuation
or handwriting. Silent writing is basically free writing but silently. You can
write anything in any text type. Some text types include narrative, procedure,
poems and many more. It is a fun activity because we can free our minds and
follow our imagination. We LOVE silent writing!!!!
Harry potter was a fun book for everyone.

ReplyDeleteI am so happy to hear you are working hard. What is your story about?
DeleteHey Everyone. During silent writing I have been writing a book called The Adventure to Dragon Island. Here's my blurb: Nick the Nurturer and James the Brave live a simple life on the farm until they find a mysterious map that leads them to Dragon Island. Will they survive this epic journey?
ReplyDeleteI am sure they will have a marvelous adventure as they fight the villains on Dragon Island. I hope I can read the book next week.
DeleteIn silent writing I have written a blurb on 'Dragons': There's the Night Fury the Nadder the Thunderdrum the Zippleback, but the most smallest of all, the Toothless Daydream. these creatures are very fascinating, but they speak a different language, that only one person understands, named...............
ReplyDeleteWho? Who? Is it me?
DeleteWow this story sounds great. You should publish it and then maybe you could read it to an infants class. Great work Blake.

ReplyDeleteHi everyone, in silent writing time, I've been writing the blurb for Adventures with Chloe Pearson. Here's the blurb: Chloe Pearson the adventurous psychologist goes into the wild to find the wild ape, while she's there, she finds her bff Zara Howes. Then she find's out the wild ape isn't real and falls into a trap of tigers. Will she be stuck there forever???
ReplyDeleteOh no! Not a trap of tigers, how will she escape? My prediction is; her BFF will find some native ivy and plat it into a ladder just in the nick of time and Chloe will be saved.
DeleteAm I close?
In silent writing I have been writing about my Minecraft World. My blurb is "Four friends enter the cool worlds in Minecraft, Lucas the Awesome, Nick the Ranger, Peter the Fighter and Will the Storage Man They have many adventures and sometimes they get lost. Will they all make it out??.???"
ReplyDeleteSounds entertaining Lukey! I wonder if they will!!!!!
DeleteBlake :)
Have they found the bunnies in MInecraft or the pigs? I would love to see the Minecraft world they live in. Can you make it in the game. It would be great if you could take a screen shot so then you could add it to your story for some graphics. Sounds like an awesome story.
DeleteIn silent writing I have also written another blurb on 'TMNT's': Leonardo is the leader in blue, Donatello is a fellow with a weather machine, Raphael's got the moves to secure the team, Michelangelo is one of a kind and you really get to know it from his party time, Master Splinter taught them every single skill they need to be one mean lean green part of a team!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBlake :)
Hey Blake, It sounds as if you could rap this blurb. Maybe you could add a cool beat to it and some awesome sound affects.
DeleteWill there ever be another TMNT ? Would would his name be and his skill?
Do you know anything about the original Leonardo, Donatello and Raphael?
Dear Mrs Standring this is Claudia sharing her blurb,
ReplyDeleteEver wondered what came before Winnie the Pooh well it'll surely be LOSEY THE WEE! Now this story isn't just about how Losey the Wee becoming Winnie the Pooh it's also about how Losey the wee concered his fear. THE BIG BULLEY MACBETH
By Claudia Nguyen
The Big Bully MacBeth sounds like a mean villain. How will Losey The Wee win this battle. I can not wait to read this adventure.
DeleteIn silent writing for the last few days, I have been writing about fairy tales.
ReplyDeleteThe story is about a girl who wandered into the woods and found a mysterious castle which own by Gaspa. Gaspa is a mean person trapped the girl who went inside the castle. The three fairies were helping the girl to escape from Gaspa. I named the girl: Isabella.
