An update on the bubbles!

Here is some of the writing we did after our bubble experience...
Anton
Bubbles remind me of a golden treasure box. They float in the air and then they will pop! Bubbles are so slippery.
Landen
Bubbles pop when they touch your hand. Bubbles look like the world. They are like gliding birds.
Dillan
Bubbles look like a rainbow when the sun shines on it.  They feel like soap but when they popped your hands were bubbly. They remind me of aeroplanes because aeroplanes float in the sky too.
Stella
Bubbles look like rainbows when they float. When I touched them they popped and felt gooey. They look like magical stars when thy float.
Ruby
Bubbles look like stars when they shine in the sun. When I touch them they pop! They remind me of flowers because they float in the wind.
Curtis
Bubbles look like rainbows. The bubbles feel like soap. They remind me of glass. I think bubbles are made out of helium gas.
Liam
Bubbles are sticky and soft. They remind me of the earth spinning around the sun. They look like tiny moons except the moon is much bigger.

Bubbles, bubbles, bubbles!

Today we went outside to write! We had such fun chasing and popping bubbles. We had lots of discussion about great adjectives. I was thrilled to see the children think about the words they liked and then go and write them down without any help from me. I'm sure we will have great descriptive writing tomorrow. Fabulous!

Wow! What a show. Room 6 you are all fantastic! I was so proud of every one of you. Mr Wadsworth took some photos. Here they are for you to enjoy. Many thanks to all the other classes who joined in. It was brilliant to see everyone so involved.
