Hurricane Haiku by Springfield Primary School
Springfield Primary School's Class 4's Reading Gladiators created a haiku poem on the Hurricane text. We have been learning how to write haiku poems this week so the Reading Gladiators were keen to apply what they have learnt! In addition they use some actions to recite their poem. The poem goes:
Fierce, dangerous wind
Misty weather is coming
Swaying trees tonight.I'm very proud of their enthusiasm! They had about twenty minutes to write and perform their poem!

Submission by Griffydam Primary School
The Boy, the Bird and the Coffin Maker
Our Reading Gladiators thought that it would be a great idea for them to work with the rest of their class on story boarding the story. Each Gladiator was responsible for one part and had to talk to their group about it, using the text to help them. We were really impressed by the level of detail that each group put into their part of the story board and the small details that were so important to the plot. The activity encouraged our Gladiators to have confidence in summarising information as well as leading their team. As their teacher, it was brilliant to watch.

8th Dec 2017, 2:03am I really liked the patterning of 'outside' and 'inside' in this poem, which is also a feature in the picture book that you have read. -
Hurricane
Griffydam Gladiators thought of as many questions as they could after just looking at the cover of ‘Hurricane’. We were particularly interested in why the cat was so angry!

The Day I Got Lost
Gladiator Phoebe drew a picture and wrote about a time when she got lost and how she felt. She really empathised with Isiah, the mouse in our story.

22nd Sep 2017, 12:11am Hello Pheobe. Getting lost is quite frightening when you are small, or in a strange place. I got lost in Japan and couldn't read the signs to find out where to go, or read the language. It's not a very nice experience.30th Sep 2017, 10:36am Brilliant to see empathy skills employed by this group!
