On Thursday the 27th of March, Room 14 started to work on a piece of writing about a song called 'Pompeii'.
First of all, we watched a music video about the song Pompeii. After we watched the video, we brainstormed our ideas in our focus writing books. Next we went on the iPads and researched about Pompeii and the Mount Vesuvius eruption. We put all our facts into a bubble map. Once we had all of our facts down, we watched the video again and we paused it at different parts and asked questions about the part that we stopped on. When it had finished, we wrote down some more ideas then started writing.
Here are a couple of finished stories about our Pompeii writing.

We are a lovely bunch of Year 5 & 6 children that go to Mahora School, in Hawkes Bay. Our blog is a great way for us to share our learning journey so please take a look and leave us a comment.
Kade's writing will be published here on Monday.
