FOUND KEY!!!
Patrick found this key near the tubs outside his room. If it is yours can you please come and get it.
A SPECIAL VISITOR
Last week Helen visited our classroom to help us learn about adjectives. She taught us about adjectives and how professional authors use them all the time.
Firstly, Helen asked us about adjectives and was really impressed with what we knew. Next she gave us a pile of popcorn kernels and asked us to describe them to a partner.
Once we finished, we popped our kernels and described them again and investigated the difference between our first and second description.
Lastly, Helen explained ADJECTIVALS to us. She explained that adjectivals go AFTER the noun and give us a little bit more information.

The white popcorn THAT WAS WARM AND SALTY
The soft popcorn WHICH WAS DISGUSTING
(The adjective is underlined and the adjectival is bold and in capitals)
Overall, the lesson was delicious!

DESCRIBE THIS FOR ME!
This week we have been looking at ADJECTIVES. Adjectives are words that describe a noun. For example The man wore a black hat.
Patrick asked us to look at a picture and think of all of the adjectives that we could think of.
Here's the picture:
And here are all of the different adjectives that we thought of.
From that poster, Patrick started to circle certain words in an orange texta. It was up to us to find out why he was doing that. We found that the adjectives that we was circling were one that described how the pizza TASTED.
Then Patrick asked us to circle different types of adjectives and we discovered that adjectives can describe all sort of things. They can describe these types of things...
The next day Patrick got asked us to cut out all of our pizza adjectives and place them in the right adjective column.
It was a great activity and it will really help us with making our narrative writing more descriptive and exciting!
