Let's Play

WALT : To use direct speech in our writing.

Rather than just writing another narrative in our writing books, we decided to create group plays with the same learning goal in mind.

To work collaboratively in groups to create an end product. 

Huapai Fantail...Let's communicate!

We got into teams of 5. 

We watched a story of the 3 Little Pigs. 

We selected our characters.
Narrator
Pig 1, 2 and 3
Big Bad Wolf

We worked out our roles and strengths in a group... the negotiator, the encourager, the motivator!!!!

We played thumb wars to see who would be the Big Bad Wolf!

Then we took turns to write our parts on the group script. 

At times we had to negotiate and come up with solutions about which decision should be made. we used our sportsmanship skills to think about fairness.

Example of one groups script:

Reader (Lauren) - Once upon a time in the woods there lived a cottage. The three pigs were all grown up and it was time for them to build their own homes.

Pig 1 (Tyson) - Im going to build a straw house.

Pig 2 (Kody) - I'm going to party all day!!!

Pig 3 (Rye) - I dont want to leave Waahhhh!!! What no, I don't want to leave! Ok Bye Mum.

Wolf (Hunter) - Don't tell them I'm here!

Reader - The three pigs lived in their new houses until the wolf came.

Wolf - I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house down if you don't let me in.

Pig 1 - aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhggggggggg!!!!!

Reader - And he ran to his brothers house.

Reader - And the wolf went to the stick house.

Wolf - I'll huff and I'll puff.

Pig 2 - Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhgggggggggggggg!!!!!

Reader - And they all went safely to the house made of bricks and stones.

At the end we all performed our plays so far!

Great work Room 2!!!!!
