Quick Write Number One - The Beekeeper
For the next two weeks we are going to work on ‘Quick Writes.’ This is where you are given something to write about (a writing prompt) and you only have 10mins to write as much as possible using this writing prompt.
For our writing prompts we will use either images or short videos.
The purpose of this is to practise writing fluently.
When we look at our writing prompt we will have about 10-15 mins to discuss it and brainstorm some ideas and vocabulary.
Our learning goals are to:
-write a description, using powerful words and phrases
-include some Te Reo Māori
-carefully check that our sentences make sense and have correct punctuation and spelling.
When we are writing we need to think about…
- What do I want my reader to see?
2) What do I want my reader to hear?
3) What do I want my reader to smell?
Tips:
-look closely at the picture or video
-think about the three key questions and the learning goals
-give yourself time to plan and write

It was a warm spring morning, and as I walked up to the beehive I smelt the sweet smell of honey. As I carefully lifted up the frame my hands started shaking and, the bees started buzzing. I started pulling off bits of honeycomb till it was all gone. I put the frame back into hive and the bees clung onto the frame like magnets.😊😁
Kia ora Lily. This is a really good piece of work. I can really imagine what it was like that morning. Very discriptive!
