The gorse eater

This morning my class went to see Gorse Eater.   We went around the school field, down a path to get there. He likes eating gorse and sticks. He is powerful. He came closer so we  could  see him better.      

We have been learning about Olympics Games. We have been good at learning about the olympics.

It is fun learning with our friends. We have been   proud of us. It is fun because we watch we watch it  every day. New Zealand won three gold medals.  We won 9 medals altogether.

Aliens love underpants

 Mrs Duncan is reading room 5 a story called aliens love underpants.It is about aliens stealing underpants. They have  spaceships and they fly down to earth to steal the underpants.  In the story the aliens use jolly jumpers [pj pants] as slides. The best pants for the aliens are grannys pink bloomers which the aliens wear. Room 5 really like this story and they hope to read it again!

This is Ella sharing her clue with her group. Great listening Mathew and Emily!

Handwriting

Sometimes we don't have to do handwriting in our books. We draw on the concrete with chalk or create letters with our bodies. 

Can you see the letter that Jackson and Anna created?

CLAY

Yesterday room 5 made clay monsters. When we got our clay we warmed it up in our hands and got the air bubbles out. We squeezed, squished, rolled, patted and pushed. We followed our picture plan to make our monster. We needed to use some slip to make the bits stick together. We are waiting for our monsters to dry and then we will paint them. We had an awesome time!

I learnt how to do back stroke better in the swimming pool. Its almost the same as freestyle but is on your back.
