Exciting Writing - 'Slice of Life'


Today we talked about everything we experienced on our fabulous trip last week to Cape Kidnappers. There was so much to think about! Room10 have been challenged to write about one slice or one bit of the trip. There were so many bits to the day...
* getting ready for the day at home
* the ride out to Clifton on the bus 
* the journey along the beach on the tractor / trailers
* having lunch
* using a 'long drop' chemical toilet
* spending the day with a parent (or grandparent) 
* searching for fossils
* climbing the hill to the plateaux colony 
* travelling down the hill
* searching in the tidal pools for shells and sea life
* telling Mum / Dad all about it later
* lying in bed that night remembering the amazing day 
WOW! so many slices to the day!

We cut up an apple with each slice representing a little bit of the day. Check out all the slices!
Slice of life means... a realistic description of life experiences. 

This type of writing can also be called 'a moment in time.'

We can't wait to share our fabulous writing when we are finished!

  1. My mum said this was the best trip ever and she wants to go back again. Her favourite was the tractor going in the water and learning about the earth quake fault lines on the cliffs from Reicoe.
