Can you keep a secret? Room 10 has a swallow nesting in its cloak bay. While there is little bit of a problem of the mess the mother is likely to make, we think this is outweighed by the learning opportunities such an experience can provide. When we went to have a look at the intricately made mud nest, we were thrilled to have the mother swallow over our heads back into her nest. Today we did some great writing from this. Here are some examples of my favourite parts. Our focus with this was using interesting verbs.
The little swallows said," I want my dinner!" The Mum swallow rushed to get the baby swallows some food. She twirled and flipped and spun through the clouds.

The swallow darts left and right. It swirls and twirls, flits and flips, turns and twists and loops the loop.

The swallow Mum swirls and twirls. Then it turns left and right. It brings back food to the baby swallows. It swoops in the clouds. By Keelyn
It swirls and twirls. It flies out of sight. It twirls away. She dives down and back to her nest where she has a sleep. By Jaime
Very descriptive writing today Room 3. I can see in my mind the swallow flitting and flipping and dancing in the air when I read your writing. How cool that your teacher lets you have such lovely experiences to write about.
