Language Experience-notetaking

Today was the first day we have used our note taking notebooks. In Room 11 we use our notebooks to quickly write our amazing words down, especially when we have a language experience. Hopefully we use these words in our writing to make it really interesting with our descriptive vocabulary. Mrs Head modelled to us first how we take notes using key words and not being worried about our spelling, so long as we can read it back. The idea of the notebook is to get all of our ideas down. This afternoon we had five different plates of food including; dried cranberries, salt and vinegar chips, smarties, honey and citric acid. Mrs Head warned us to only take a tiny bit of citric acid because it makes your eyes water but lots of us went back for a little bit more! We had to make sure that we wrote down at least five descriptive words for each one. We came up with words like slimy, sticky, crunchy, gooey, sour, smooth, chewy, bitter.
