Super Weirdos

 Room 5 were given a challenge today to create a 'Super Werido'.  This relates to the share story we are reading called 'Super Weridos and the Battle of the Bash' written by Mr Mac.

Without meeting as a group each person had a part of the body to design for example one person created the head and neck, the next person created the main body part from the shoulders to the hips and the last person created the legs and feet.  The next step was to come together and put all the body parts together to create our 'Super Werido'.

To bring writing into this challenge we had to write a character description collaboratively.  Here is an example from Corey, Chiedza and Frank.
