Scooter Your Heart Away!

Anita Hayes & Andrea Thelning —

Room 1 and 2 enjoyed a scooter morning as part of their inquiry “Transport”. We spent the morning enjoying a course to follow. This led to amazing writing about what a scooter sounds and feels like. A big thank you to Kate Campell for the help in setting our course.

Check out some segments of writing from Room 1, where we have used similes, alliteration and/or onomatopoeia.

ZOOM! The scooters flew down the steep hill. It was like a tornado. I was going as fast as lightning.

WHOOSH! I went zooming down the hill on my scooter with all the other scooters. We went around the ramp and down the hill and zig-zagged around the cones.

I felt like I was as fast as a falcon and I got a fright when I tripped over.
