Zoofari

 We went to the Zoo. The chimpanzees can climb. I like the chimpanzees because they are good catchers. I like them because they have strong muscles to climb.The pelicans paddle on the water. I like  the way the kangaroos are relaxing on the grass.

our recounts

 We have been writing recounts of things we did at the weekend, and we have been practising using a different word to start each sentence.

In the weekend I was no my Xbox I played my Minecraft. Then I went to Ta'aseu's world.
by Tamiano.
First I woke up and I went out  of my bedroom. I went in to my room
by Jeremiah.
We  lined  up  on  the  yellow  line.  Then we  did   exercises.
by  Daniela.

Our stories composed using different sentence starters.

For our writing this week we are learning to use different words to stat our sentences. This is to make our writing and stories more interesting to the reader. 




At playtime I played on the slide. But I was happy on the slide with my friends and we all had fun at school. Then we ate our sandwiches at lunch  time and milk.  They all wanted me and  I did go to them. then we played on the slide together. I had lots of fun on the swings with my friends too.

 Then we  went so  me where else. Then the bell rang and we went in class , we ran really fast.
At playtime I played hide and seek. I played tag with my friend. We played up in the tree.

When I was making the rakau I always had to roll it. We put sellotape on the rakau to make it tight. We covered the rakau in white paper. I tried to make it. 

WALT describe 2 objects to compare them, and contrast them.

On the trip we found a long wiggly leaf  and a big smooth rock.
Both objects came from outside.
The rock is triangular, and the leaf is irregular.
The rock is heavier than the leaf.
 I like the rock because it is hard and I like the leaf because it is pointy.

Making bridges to save our Ginger Bread Men

We are learning to measure the lengths of objects. 

We drew the bridge and coloured it. We were building the bridge for the GMB so The GBM can get to the other side of the water. We had to make it long enough to reach the other side of the river. 

Gabriella 

We glued the bridge on to the river. We were making a bridge because the GBM can run over the river. Our bridge is long, it was able to reach across the river. Our bridge was narrow. 

Nevaeh

We measured our bridge to see the length of the bridge across the water. Our bridge is long it goes from bank to bank. Our bridge is narrow you can put 1 GBM across on the bridge.

Jack

We were making a bridge to put the GBM on, to get away from the fox because he can’t get across the river. We put all the long bridges together to make the bridge go from one side to the other.

Nazim

We made a bridge so the GBM can cross over to the other side of the water.

We stuck the 2 pieces of paper together, to make the bridge longer so the bridge can fit across the water. It was little bit too short. It did not reach to the other side. 

Samuel

We were making the bridge for the GM so he can get away from the fox. He could not cross the river. We got big pieces of paper and drew the bridge we sellotaped them together because with one piece it was too short to get across the river. Our bridge was too short. 

Iviongo

We glued the bridge on the river because we have to make a bridge for the GBM. He was trying to get across the river.  Our bridge is too short.

Myra

We made the bridge for the GBM to get across river, to get away from the fox. We used newsprint and sellotape to make it longer. We had to make it longer to stretch it across the river. We could put 5 GBM across the bridge, it was wide. 

Waimana

We were making a bridge so the GBM can get past the river. We put a piece of paper on the table and sellotaped it together with another one. We did this so the bridge can be long enough to get from one side of the river to the other side. We used 4 pieces of paper to make the bridge. 

Leausa

We took the bridge to the river to see if the bridge was long enough to reach to the other side of the river. We measured the bridge.  It wasn’t long enough so we put another piece of paper on the bridge. And that made it long enough, we put it onto the river and it was long enough it went from the bank to the other bank.  

Hunter

We made the bridge for the GBM to go across the river. We made the bridge with 3 pieces of paper. We put the paper on the floor so we can measure the length across the river.  It was not long enough so we got some more paper and we stapled it onto the bridge, to make our ridge longer.  

Jeremiah

We made a bridge for the GBM to go over the river. We made it with 3 sheets of paper. We stuck the paper together to make it like a bridge, so GBM can cross the river. 1 piece of paper was too short to cross the river, but 3 pieces of paper were long enough to cross the river. 

Inangaro

We had to make a bridge for the GBM. He was trying to go across the river.  We used paper to make the bridge. We put the bridge on the ground to check if the bridge went from one edge of the river to the other edge of the river.

Cyrus

We went to the beach. We looked for rocks shells and crabs. 

I chose the rocks because they have interesting lines.  

Here is the shell, it is long and interesting. I found it by the rock.

Second try at blogging, the sea shore

Samuel, Ta'aseu and Nazim wrote about our 'sea shore'.There was a crab in a shell. And rooks and sand.There were 3 bits of wood and 1 sea weed,
