Monday's Marvelous Writing

I asked my Nana for an electric guitar. I said "woohoo". My Nana said "don't get too excited". Then I settled down.

On Saturday I went to Northlands Mall and I got an ice cream. It was flavoured strawberry and blueberry. It was scrumptious! I love ice cream with chocolate sprinkles and cream on it.

On Sunday it was my nana's birthday. We went with my mum and dad and my brother and my uncle. I played soccer and my dad said "I don't want to play soccer".

What am I?

I have two big, white legs,
I live in a cave,
I live in a cold place,
Some people are scared of me,
What am I

By Mica

I have two fins,
I have a twisted tail,
I have a long spike on my back and
I can camouflage myself,
What am I?

By Amber

I have two legs,
I can fly out in the sky,
Some people can touch me,
What am I?

Wacky Wednesday

We made some grass head people. We drew a body for a yoghurt container. We put some grass seed into the end of some panty hose. Then we put in some saw dust and tied the ends. Some of us twisted noses and ears. Next we soaked it in water and put it in the yoghurt container. Our creatures are going to grow spiky green hair!

We are following on a map all the places that Mrs Higgs is going. We call it "Where in the World is Mrs Higgs". She is in London at the moment.

Our birthday boy Felix did some great writing today about spring.

There is a Disco in the KBS hall tomorrow night at 5.30pm for years 1-4. This is run by the KBS PTA.

Awesome Poetry

We read the poem 'Michael Apple-seed' this week, related to our Inquiry learning.
We then wrote some poetry about apples. Here are some of the children's poems.

An apple is...
smooth like a ball
crunchy like a biscuit
red like a strawberry
round like a circle
shiny like a star

By Emma


An apple is...
red like a strawberry
yummy like a carrot
cold like ice cream
crunchy like a cracker
hard like a box of toys

By Jazmin


An apple is...
shiny like a diamond in the sky
scrumptious like a pear
red like a ruby
juicy like a lemon
round like an eeny meeny circle

By Ariki


An apple is...
juicy like an orange
red like a ruby
hard like a magnet
smooth like a flying hang glider
wet like an ice cube

By Mica


I am off away to England and Europe for the next three weeks. Mrs Carson will be in the class during my usual times. I'll email the class when I can to let everyone know what we're up to.

Thursday

This morning we played King of the Dice using subtraction. We were really good at it!

Colombia said "I did really good reading because when I made a mistake I fixed it myself" Jazmin worked hard at reading too. She was learning to make her voice go up and down.

Some of us brought a cup cake. Billy K said "I had a chicken one. It was yummy and sparkly"
Ariki's was a chicken one too. He said it tasted really really good,

Felix said " I did great handwriting. I worked hard on my capital Y's and they looked good"
Eligh said "He did all his letters really carefully"

This afternoon we were learning to skip with skipping ropes. Kobie said "Even though I fell over I still did really good".
We tried to do more skips each time. We were trying to beat our own records.

Can everyone please keep us empty yoghurt and fruit/jelly cup pottles. We need at least one each by next Tuesday! Thanks
Tomorrow is Mufti-Day to raise money for the Cancer Society.
