Quick Write Number One - The Beekeeper
For the next two weeks we are going to work on ‘Quick Writes.’ This is where you are given something to write about (a writing prompt) and you only have 10mins to write as much as possible using this writing prompt.
For our writing prompts we will use either images or short videos.
The purpose of this is to practise writing fluently.
When we look at our writing prompt we will have about 10-15 mins to discuss it and brainstorm some ideas and vocabulary.
Our learning goals are to:
-write a description, using powerful words and phrases
-include some Te Reo Māori
-carefully check that our sentences make sense and have correct punctuation and spelling.
When we are writing we need to think about…
- What do I want my reader to see?
2) What do I want my reader to hear?
3) What do I want my reader to smell?
Tips:
-look closely at the picture or video
-think about the three key questions and the learning goals
-give yourself time to plan and write

As I ran towards the bee hive I heard the buzzing of the bees working hard and the rustling of the leaves in the wind. The sweet smell of the deliciously fresh honey. While the blossoms glow ever so bright! Thousands of bees buzzing and humming while they make the honey, ever so delight. The honey glistening in the sun just like a light in the dark.
Kia ora Grace. I really like your beekeeper work. I like your descriptive language. I also like how is rhymes! it is a very good piece of work. Ka pai tō mahi! Great work, keep it up.
