The Holidays

Holly 28/7/16 The Holidays

In the holidays, I got my own room because my big sister, Olivia, moved into the outside room. My grand dad painted the outside room and slapped down a new carpet.

The next day, I skipped out of my room   and flew over the dog and cat and rumbled into the outside room. I danced and skipped and did a handstand because I was happy about getting my own room.
Then I remembered I had to have breakfast  so I stormed back inside to get my breakfast I had coco pops. After I finished my breakfast I got changed.

I raced outside and hopped in the car with my dad and my sisters then we drove off.
We went to get Olivia's bed and went home and set those up and, that night, my family and I started designing my room, we finished it , that night, I got to sleep in my own room.

Matariki

The Seven Sisters

Long long ago, there were seven sisters. They were really mean. They were popping the villagers' balls and pushing the villagers over.

One Saturday, the evil sisters, Holly, Piper, Kruz, Lavinia, Ella, Millie and Jac decided to go down to the village to pull some pranks on them. 

First, they kicked the ball into the forest and blamed it on a villager called Rose then the villagers started being mean to Rose and the seven sisters, Holly, Piper, Lavinia, Kruz, Ella, Millie and Jac ran back to their house. When they were running, the moon grabbed them with its arms and threw them into the sky and they turned into stars and that's how Matariki began.

Holly and Piper

Holly and Piper were sisters. They loved exploring. They lived next to the forest. They loved seeing the butterflies and the stream. Piper had blonde hair and Holly had brown. They loved playing with each other.

Pet Day

WALT make up a story about a Pet Day problem.

WWBSWW:

• Begin with an orientation to tell the reader who, did what, where and when.

“Pet Day will be on Friday,” Miss Anderson, Tom’s teacher, announced to the class on Monday. “Bring your pet to school and tell us about it, then we will have a pet parade.”

Tom was so excited. He would be able to bring Harry to school to 

show everyone.

• Write the events leading up to the problem.

At the end of the day, he ran all the way home to get his pet ready for Friday.

He loved Harry and had wanted to show his friends for a long time, but his mum and dad had told him that Harry must never leave the house; but, now, his

teacher had given him permission to bring it to school.

Smilingly, he polished Harry’s green silky skin, talking to it with his friendly voice. “You’re allowed to come to school, Harry. You can meet my friends and my friends can meet you.”

As soon as Friday came around, Harry carefully took Harry out of its cage and placed him into his black backpack. He couldn’t wait to get to school, so he ran

all the way.

When the bell rang, he and the rest of the class stepped into the 

classroom.

• Write the problem.

Tom opened his backpack to show his friends what he had brought to school for Pet Day.

“It’s a green, slippery, slimey …...................” he said slowly. “Snake!” he 

shouted.

“Tom Denver, give me that thing right now!” Miss Anderson 

commanded.

Tom opened his hand to pass it over, but, at that moment, naughty Billy Burton lunged to grab it himself. He bumped Tom’s shoulder and Tom hurtled forward, the snake flying out of his hand to the back of the classroom.

“Eeeeeee! Where is it?” squealed Miss Anderson.

Chaos threatened in Room 4.  Children jumped up and ran around, screeching

their lungs out and pushing over chairs and desks, trying to find Tom’s snake.

• Write the events to tell your readers how the problem was solved.

They were feeling really frightened. 
Tom had an idea. He gathered up some equipment from around the classroom - scissors, cords to tie, glue, paper, wire and the teacher's lunch.
Tom glued some sheets of paper together. He put some cords on the paper for tying the paper together. He put the teacher's ham sandwich in the middle. 
All the kids leapt up onto the chairs so the snake couldn't bite their toes off. They kept very quiet and still. The snake very slowly wiggled across the soft brown carpet towards the ham sandwich.
As it took a bite, Tom soundlessly approached Harry and picked it up gently and put him in his bag. 
"Never bring a snake to school again," said Miss Anderson.
Well done, Holly.

The Magic Shows

Can you think of words that would be better than then?
Yesterday, the whole school had two Magic Shows. One was Jonathon and one was El Gregoe. We had Jonathon first. 
Jonathon swallowed a balloon down his throat. We were all amazed! 

Lavinia helped Jonathon do a magic trick. He made a bottle in a bag disappear, but the school did not think it had disappeared. He tipped it upside down and there was nothing there, then Lavinia sat back down. 



Then he asked Ashton if he would come up and help him. Jonathon made some Rainbow Ribbon disappear, then he pulled it out of Ashton's sleeve. 


Then he wanted one of the teachers and he chose Whaea Mihi. He gave her a can of coke, but it was paper then he put the paper can of coke in a book and said the magic words, "Hocus Pocus" and he opened the book and the can of coke was real.

mothers day

Mum and I went shopping a few days ago at Te Awa. We wanted to spend time together.
It was very sunny. There were lots of people there. Mum and I went to Farmers first. There were lots of clothes and toys there.
Next, we went to Smiggles. I got lots of rubbers and cool toys. They were sensitive and funny looking.
Next, we went to lunch. We both got pita pit. It was yummy. 
Next, we went home. 
It was an awesome day. I love my mummy very much and she loves me very much too xoxo

MeerKats

Bang! Bang! Bang! As we banged on the wall a meerkat ran sneakily up to us.

The class was at the zoo because we had filled up the marble jar and because we were really good at school and it was a really really big day. We went last Tuesday.

Another meerkat ran to the door. He was waiting for his food. The zoo keeper opened the door and gently pushed the little rascal to the side. The zoo keeper held their food in a couple of boxes. The meerkats were all jumping up and waiting for their food. The zoo keeper put their food down on the rocky ground then we started asking her questions.

I loved being at the zoo because it was fun and I got to spend the day with all my friends. I think I want to be a zoo keeper.

The Rocket

I was feeling scared, but I kept on running.

Yesterday, I had a lot of fun. Room 4 had swimming practice and it was the last one. It was really, really fun! We got to go on a rocket. The rocket was red and wobbly. I had three turns. I kept on running until I fell off, then I jumped back into line. Everyone had a turn, but then I heard Mrs Thomson call out, "Everyone, hop out of the pool." Everyone went to the changing rooms. We took a little while then we all got a lollipop. I got a purple one; so did Piper, then we started walking back to school. 

World of Maths

Ring! Ring! The bell rang. That meant it was time for World of Maths. We all lined up. The doors opened. Room 4, Room 3, Room 2 and Room 1 all went inside. We sat down on the ground. I was number 7. There were a lot of cool games. We were doing them for ages but it was still a lot of fun. The cow one was the hardest for me.

Swimming 2016

Splash! The whole class jumped in the water. Ashley and Shenagh taught us a lot of cool things. I liked it at the end because we got to play and we got to find toys at the toys at the end. After we jumped in the pool, we did some exercising around. The whole class was swimming around the pool and we kept on swapping ways. It was such fun, then we did some swimming from side to side. We did some backstroke too.
