this is one of my favorite spelling stories.

Once upon a time there lived a boy called Clamber. One day he galloped down to the village and bought  a necklace with 15 carats gold. When he got home he saw his mother was impatient. she was hungry. Clamber was irritated." He said why in the world am i called Clamber?" ( He said it sarcastically!! )" Well"... began his mother. "I was being sarcastic!!" screamed Clamber. "I know that I am called Clamber because I am always looking after you and clambering around after and for you!!" "I give up." "Well you can now call me by my first name." "It is parallelogram." Said his mother. "And now I live in a sanctuary."


this spelling story is by Eden Cotton Room 27.

Here is my favorite Silly Spelling Story.

Once there was an exceptionally, irresistible boy called, Dictionary. He had a friend called, Thesaurus. He loved syrups with citrus and chemicals from meteorites. Nearby his house, was a veterinarian with a 22 carat gold ring that had 2 parallelograms that were referring to tobbogans. For some reason, his other friend, Multiplication was shouting out nonrelevant exclamations.

Hi! Here is my favorite Spelling Story.

Niamh decided to go to the fireworks after all. She thought about the romance of the evening and coloured parachutes landing on the fields where the fireworks would be.

There was a murmuring that there would be a Korero announcement at the fireworks. Niamh decided she should whakarongomai to learn as much as she could at the event.

She heard murmuring about how the community should be recycling more and that compensation was available for people who did recycle. She grimaced. She would much rather be in her classroom learning about modern pseudo words and algorithms and the website Audioboom.

Spelling Stories

In R27 our teacher Ms Linda Gray Brett has challenged us to see if we can  create a story from our personal spelling list each week. Some of our stories make sense and sometimes they stretch your imagination which is after all a great thing.
We think it helps us to think flexibly and it is great fun too. This year our school theme is Challenge so we think this is a great way to challenge ourselves in writing. We will publish some of our favourites each week and would love to hear your comments.

Room 27 semaphore flags

In Room 27 we have been learning about World  War I. We have made semaphore flags and have been learning the wonderful language of flags.It has been quite challenging for some people to remember the signals. Here is our first student to complete his sentence in semaphore language. See if you can guess what it says and tell us in the comments.

The Maori Creation Myth

Watch these videos and use the comment section below to talk about how well your favourite version used the language of story telling that we have talked about in class.  What other elements have been used to help tell the story.  E.G. music, sound effects. Say why you liked  the one you've chosen best.

Hi there all Room 27 parents and families. We have a great new classroom up among the treetops and we have settled in really nicely. We had 33 class members until yesterday when our Finnish friend, Johannes left to go home. We are hoping to hear from him when he gets back to Finland so that we can correspond with his school.
You probably know that our whole school topic for the year is Treasure/Treasuring. It is also our school's 140th birthday this year.
We have already produced lots of quality work connected to our theme. We have all published a booklet with three pieces of writing:-
Someone I Treasure
Some Place I Treasure
Something I Treasure
We have been working carefully on self portraits which show our multiple intelligences. You should come to our classroom sometime to see our efforts. We are going to try to post some photos of our amazing work so you can view them here. We hope you will enjoy them. Please be patient. We are still learning these techniques. At least our teacher is!
