All about sentences...
Rodda, Riordan and Stine have been investigating sentences. We have learned so many new things about the humble sentence. Here are just a few of our amazing findings:

Lofa

Jayde
I really enjoyed reading about your investigation on sentences. The graphics were very good, because they were relevant to the text. Also it was good to see that the words stood out very clear on the background colour. Next time you should work on is making the words bigger. I found it very hard to read them.
We are learning about writing an explanation properly. This means we have to have our paragraphs laid out properly with topic specific words.
I like your examples explaining simple, compound and complex sentences! I also like how you explain what each sentence type is: like a simple sentence tries to get one little idea across! It was helpful to have your sentences comparing, getting more and more complex.
Have you thought about extending into hamburger paragraphs, with the start, filling(middle) and end?
Next time maybe you could remember a few more full stops or maybe you could say what class you are in.
Hi Tara, thanks for telling me what I need to work on. I don't understand what you mean by the hamburger paragraphs, because we were studying sentences.
Kia Ora Mackissah I really enjoyed the work you put on your school’s blog about sentences. As well as you we have been working on what goes in a sentence and what makes a sentence complex, simple or compound. One thing to work on is checking your full stops and when to put in capital letters.
I really liked the use of the colours and the other graphics in your presentation on sentences. I have used this in many of my presentations about my maths and writing. Although these graphics are good for making your work look bright and colourful, watch out for using copyrighted images and try not to overuse these images.
I’m really looking forward to the next blog post you guys put up. Remember to always double check and edit any errors in your work.
Thanks for the sharing your work Matthew- Karoro School
I really like how you included different parts of a sentence. I also liked how you have introduced what each part is like a clause, which I did not know until I looked at your work.
Your layout is very clear and I can read it very well. The links that you have showed I could not access, but one of them were of a slide show, maybe you could try and put the link in. This information has helped me realize what the eight parts in a sentence are: pronouns, nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjectives, conjunctions, interjections and prepositions. Do you know about ‘articles’?
Thank you for helping me learn different parts in writing that I did not know. This information will help me go further in my writing and improve. I hope you can get the link for your slideshow up.
I enjoyed reading about your investigation on sentences. I really liked your example, with the sandwich for the simple, compound and complex sentences.
Next time it would be better and easier to read if the text was a little bit bigger, it was quite hard to read, but the colours were good and easy to read. I liked your clause definition too, I have a better understanding of it now, but it was a bit hard to understand what you were meaning.
We are learning how to write an explanation properly. In order to this we have to have full paragraphs with topic specific sentences that are proper.
Kia ora Lofa I like your work on how to write sentences. It is a very bright green. The pattern around your work is cool.
We have done similar work at our school. We are writing explanations at the moment. Knowing how to write a sentence is important for us, because you can’t write an explanation without good sentences.
Your work is a little bit hard to read because it is so small. Is that empty white box on your work deliberately there or is it just a mistake?
I think that your posters are helpful and are full of information, It is good that you now know the difference between complex and simple sentences,
I think that you could even turn your posters into wordles. Now you can go and learn how to construct paragraphs then you could even write books. You did forget to say that every sentence, simple or complex, has to have full stops and capital letters and some of the text is too small to read, but apart from that it is very good.
Do you think you could make some posters about the history of sentences?
I really enjoyed reading your sentence poster. I also really liked the way you made your sentence post and the way you present it, because it had all the detail in it about sentence. I like how you explained what simple, compound and complex sentences are and what a clause and a preposition is.
By the way we at Karoro School are writing an explanation about volcanoes so some of this sentence writing could come in hand. So overall great work on your sentence poster keep it up.
I liked how you laid out your poster. The examples of the simple, compound and complex sentences were pretty good and actually helped me a bit because I sometimes have trouble with the complex sentences.
We are also doing similar work to what you are doing. Do you know what an explanation is? How many complex sentences do you think you have used?
You have done a fantastic job in your work. I hope you are pleased with yourself.
I really liked the way you were learning how to write proper sentences and how you explained how to write proper sentences.
I really enjoyed reading the one that Lofa wrote because it tells a lot of information about simple compound and complex sentences same as a lot of others. I liked the way that it tells me what nouns, pronouns, verbs and adverbs are.
This reminds me when I learned how to write hamburger paragraphs. It starts with a topic sentence, then three ideas with full sentences and linking sentences with each of the ideas, then finally a concluding sentence.
I like your work on how to write a sentence. I liked your pattern around the outside. I like your very neon green.
Your work is a bit difficult to read, next time you need to make your font bigger and a different colour than white. Next time you should sort of check it because there is this random box/or did you deliberately insert a box because you needed something in that space but still your work is great.
I really like your poster on sentences. It is good that you added what complex, simple and compound sentences are. I had no idea what a clause was and I learnt it from your poster.
In our class we are learning about expression sentences in maths. We are also writing explanations on what variables are. We also are learning to write in hamburger paragraphs, so we are sort of doing the same thing.
Next time you make a poster write in colour that is easier to read. You could also add what a conjunction is and you forgot to say that you need to have full stops at the end of every sentence.
Kia ora Lofa I like your writing on the sentences. I liked the black background and the green bit. I see you have written complex sentences, in my class we did something similar. We have made an explanation on volcanos, we had to work out how it would it erupt and how it would it form.
I have a question, what class are you in? Maybe next time write more about the sentences. Keep it up though, I really liked your explanation. Next time put a bit more information in your writing. By Wil
I liked the green and black you put in your ‘What are sentences’ poster. I also liked your example of a simple sentences ‘I made a sandwich’ ;D I liked this because it’s random, and it kind of reminds me of the random stuff I say all the time :D
Also what were you going to put in that that empty box on the right?? Or if it’s just there for show?
Kia Ora Mackissha, I really enjoyed reading your work about how sentences should be. This can teach a lot of people the difference between complex sentences and simple sentences and how to write a proper sentence.
Maybe next time you could add pictures of numbers. Because it relates to what you are talking about.
Your poster is very colorful I like it, it makes me want to read it straight away because of it. I am glad you have colourful pictures on your work. You have written about the parts of a sentence, Subject, Verb Connective, Capital letter at the start and a full stop at the end, adjective, article, Noun, adverb, conjunction, prepositions, interjections and clause, Well done!
I like what you were writing about what is a sentence work I was impressed that you knew about a simple compound sentence and you also knew how to write complex sentences.
I would also like to know what class you are in at St Patrick’s what we've been doing. At Karoro School in Room One we are writing about hypothermia but what we did a week ago was volcano work. When we did our work we had to write about what to do when an eruption happens and how a volcano forms and how does it erupt.
Your work about sentences was good and the colour was really light green. I liked your work very much so keep the great work coming. Next time you should make the font size bigger because I saw that some of the writing was off the page and on the second paragraph at the end I couldn't see a full stop. There was no full stop at the text box that said modifier but I really liked it.
I really liked the cool images and the brightness, because it really shows up and pops out when you scroll down the blog page.
Maybe next time you could make an example like: A full stop goes at the end of a sentence, it looks like this→.
We at Karoro School are writing about volcanos so I could use a clause. By the way I see you’ve put in a link at the bottom of your poster, the only thing is it doesn’t work.
I liked reading your work. Next time you could make your font bigger because it was hard to read it and I had to zoom in to read it. After all I still liked reading your work.
I also liked how you showed examples of the different types of sentences and explained them and what every sentence needs. Also the parts of a sentence and connectives were good.
Next time you could add more information and different sentences.
I really enjoyed your poster on what are sentences.
I enjoyed your poster because of the cool background and good spelling and the texture of the title and the colour. Next time you might want to make your words bigger.
Your poster was really cool and there was stuff in your poster that I didn’t know about. It reminded me about when I made a poster when I was little.
I really enjoyed the sentence work that you put up on your school blog on friday last week. It was good to see that you showed lots of ways to write a sentence. The only negative was you could work on your capital letters and full stops.
Just last week my class finished our volcano explanations. We had to use all the sentences you showed in your presentation. For example (complex,compound,and connectives).
For your next post you could write a story with the sentences you learnt about.
I really enjoyed your explanation about how to write sentences.We are learning about how to write proper paragraphs too. I like how you talked about the different kinds of sentence structures (simple, compound and complex), although you didn't say that you need to have correct punctuation in the sentences. You could use your information on your poster to help you with your own writing and blogs.
Hi Galilee.your writing and sentences are great.you have capitals at the beginning and fulls stops at the end.I am Bashir from Room 21 Owairaka District School.my blog is odsbashira.blogspot.co.nz.look at my blog and Go to blogs at Owairaka District School.
