Welcome to Room 4
This is an interactive introduction to Room 4.
We hope that you get some ideas from these activities - and - remember
as Mr. Harrison always tells us - you don't have to remember how these things are done.
You just need to remember that they are possible!
Then start imagining your own possibilities.
First we are going to show you Kahoot. Click the link to get started.
Now for Some Writing
As part of our inquiry we have been learning about animals.
Can you help us?
Can you please help us to write a creative report about the Kiwi? click on the link.
Now take a look at what we wrote - View the contributions.
How could this collaborative approach be useful to you?
Finally we'd like to show you a Wordle of all the new words that we have discovered while reading our shared class book "Holes".
While Mr. Harrison reads we take it in turns to flip the pages on a eBook. Some of the words are quite tricky - so we highlight them to keep a list of the new vocabulary as we go.
By having the eBook on the projector everyone can follow along and notice when Mr. Harrison makes a mistake!!!

ANZAC fotobabbles
Fotobabble is a way of putting a voice recording with a picture.
The links below will take you to our ANZAC art Fotobabbles! These are short descriptions about our thoughts, feelings and the impact of war.
We hope you like them.
Language Features
Can you use some of these language features to create some amazing sentences about the ANZAC's and your thinking about war?
How to Identify Alliteration - Link
The best way to spot alliteration being used in a sentence is to sound out the sentence, looking for the words with the identical consonant sounds. For example, read through these sentences to test your skills in identifying alliteration:
- Alice’s aunt ate apples and acorns around August.
- Becky’s beagle barked and bayed, becoming bothersome for Billy.
- Carrie's cat clawed her couch, creating chaos.
Write your own
Examples of Similes - Link
Similes can be found just about anywhere.
A simile is a figure of speech that compares two things that are alike in some way. To help you identify a simile versus a metaphor, know that the words “like” or “as” are typically used in a simile.
Well-known similes are:
- “cute as a kitten,” comparing the way someone looks to the way a kitten looks
- “as busy as a bee” comparing someone’s level of energy to a fast-flying bee
- "as snug as a bug in a rug" comparing someone who is very cozy to how comfortable a bug can be in a rug
- "as happy as a clam" comparing someone's happiness to the contentment of a clam
- "the boy was like a lion ready to attack"
A metaphor is a word or phrase that is used to make a comparison between two people, things, animals, or places. They can be very helpful for kids who are learning the meaning of specific words because they provide a more visual description of the word or thought.
Kid-Friendly Metaphors
Check out these examples of metaphors. Look for the comparison being made:
- The snow is a white blanket.
- The hospital was a refrigerator.
- The classroom was a zoo.
- Her lovely voice was music to his ears.
- Life is a roller coaster.
- The alligator’s teeth are white daggers.
- Their home was a prison.

Examples of Onomatopoeia - Link

Onomatopoeia: Sounds Animals Make

- Bow-wow
