Every Friday Tim, Harrison, Emma, Mikayla, Emily and Neve go to the  High Flyers pod with Mrs. Hines for written language. Today we were  learning about haiku poems. Haiku poems have 5 syllables , 7 syllables and then 5 syllables again.  

We are really enjoying it and we cant wait until next Friday so we can go to see Mrs. Hines and do more writing.

Nothing but a Paper Bag!

Nothing But a Paper Bag

Local girl Princess Elizabeth was outraged when a dragon destroyed her castle and burned all her clothes. Elizabeth said all she could find to wear was a dirty old paper bag."I decided to follow the dragon and get my prince back" said Elizabeth she was fuming! Police arrested the dragon after he was accused of kidnaping Ronald last Sunday!

This was a reading task (Write a newspaper article) that the Rock Stars reading group had to complete based on the shared book we read as a class

 'The Paper bag Princess'

Yesterday we watched a clip on You tube about ANZAC Day.  The things I saw were, a little girl holding a picture of her Grandad, and marching well in a parade. I also saw  the New Zealand flag being held by a young boy. Watching this clip gave me goosebumps because it showed nice pictures to help us remember about the soldiers.

I felt sad when I saw all the names of the people who died, I felt sorry for them. On ANZAC day I was feeling proud of the soldiers who went to war for our country.

Last week our pod went swimming. We really enjoyed it. We swam at century Pool. 

We are going to century Pool again this week and next week too. 

We have fun and learn how to swim. My group is learning to do backstroke (Mikayla). My group is doing floating in the water on our back.

Last week we had Mrs. Hocking come and talk to us about how to cross the road safely.

Here are some things we learnt.

1.  Look right, left, then right before you cross the road.

2.  We learnt to cross Otipua Road .                                                                                                                        

3. We learnt to cross the road by ourselves.

 

4. We learnt what the lights on a car mean 

5. If the seatbelt is rubbing on your neck you may need a booster seat.

6. When crossing a driveway you need to check the driveway for cars and also look up the road and down the road to check no cars are coming in.
