Dragons

We read stories about dragons with Mrs Treder. Then we made up our own imaginary dragons. We wrote descriptions of our dragons, then used the descriptions to draw our beasts. Click on the pictures below to read some of our descriptions.

Timothy had an enormous slice of watermelon for lunch yesterday. 

The boys were very impressed.

Kaitlin wrote this story before school on Tuesday.

One afternoon I said let’s go and look for some treasure.  I have got the treasure map  right in my hand.  We have to catch the ferry to the South Island. We have to go right now. So hurry up, the ferry is leaving in half an hour  and we need to pack our bags. Oh I am so tired  from packing my bag so fast. I just need 1 minute to have a little sleep…

Wake up we have missed the trip. We will do it tomorrow.

Fun Run

On Friday the 25^th of February we had a fun run at school. Room 2 and room 3 had to do 2 laps around the field. I was a clown. My face was painted like a clown face. When I came into the class no one knew who I was. I got soaking wet when I went on the water slide because there was a hose squirting every one going past.

Splash! I jumped into the water and mum gave me a piggy back ride. It was fun. I was going to go on the water slide but you have to be eight. I asked dad if he could come.

Suspension Bridges - How are they built?

We were talking today about what we know about the old Opiki toll bridge today. We learnt a lot by observing the bridge and talking to family members about it. There are a lot of things we don't know as well. We came up with a huge list of questions about the bridge, including questions about how it was built. Ms Leishman found this video about suspension bridges on the How Stuff Works website. Click on the link to view the video.

Tip toe, tip toe, tip toe. Boo! Out of the shadows jumped two ghosts and a hairy monster! They chased after me. They were as big as a house. It was the most terrifying thing in your life. I wished I’d never gone into the haunted castle, but it was too late now. I was in trouble. Suddenly three monsters appeared in the other direction. I was doomed.

On Wednesday I am going to the top of New Zealand and it will be fun. We will go fishing for marlin on a boat. We are driving to the top of New Zealand and it will be fun but it is a long way to go. We might see aunty and we might stay in a motel. We are going with dad’s friends.
