Week 4 Term 1 2016 Writing task
Here are the notes that we gathered after our walk up Te Ahuahu mountain. We all made notes in our Noticing Notebooks, and then we shared our ideas.
This is my noticing notebook.
In here I am going to write any thoughts, words or feelings that come into my mind when I am doing things. Then, sometime in the future,I might be able to use these ideas in my writing.Good writers say that when you are trying to notice things and make notes, it helps if you remember that each of us has five senses that help us notice stuff: sight, hearing, touch, taste and smell.
