Palmerston North

On Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday we went to Palmerston North.
First we went to McDonald's. Then our two families went to the N.P.G.H.S basketball finals. They came 4th.
After that we went to Annalise's house. We could see the wind farm. from there.
Then we went to the wind turbines. You were allowed to stand under the wind turbines. It was scary.
Then we went to McDonald's for lunch. Then we went to Tracy's Mum's house. They have 3 dogs. Toby the fat one was scary, he chased after me. It was freaky.
Soon we went to McDonald's for tea.
Then we started to drive home to New Plymouth.
It was great going to Palmerston North because we had a lot of fun!

Pouakai Zoo - a recount by Hannah

We have been learning to write recounts. This is Hannah's.

On Sunday in the school holidays I went to Pouakai Zoo with my Aunty Michelle and my Uncle Kerry and my two cousins Ethan and Mitchell.

First we went to see the white tigers getting fed, they eat horse meat.

After that we all went to feed the donkey. The donkey bit my little cousin Mitchell. He screamed like mad!

Later we went to get an ice cream. I got a Bubble o Bill.

On the way back my cousin Mitchell was bleeding. Luckily we had a first aid ket. We had to pull over to get Mitchell a plaster. Mitchell said, "Can I have a Batman plaster." We all laughed. It was very cute.

I wish I could go back to Pouakai Zoo again.

reading to the class

It was a book called 'What stinks?' It is fuuny because they are trying to find the smell but the

smell was them.

Reading 'Green Eggs and Ham'

I am reading to the class.

Art work using paper

Today we created these art works using coloured paper on a black background. We chose the colours we wanted to use, cut out frames in geometric shapes, arranged them on the paper, glued them down and displayed them on the wall. We hope to put them in the office foyer later. What do you think of them?

THE MUD MONSTERS

After soccer practice last week, we all got muddy and Mrs Looney took a picture of us. We like playing soccer!!! Especially in the mud!

About Us!

This is all about Room 13.

Room 13 did some writing about ourselves.

Then we took a photo of each other. Then we wrote some words that described us. We stuck the words around the photo frame. We put the photo at the back.

Here is the photo that was meant to be with our ladybird writing!!

Ladybirds

Grace, Kouki, Joe and Nhzarell read a book about ladybirds and we learnt some intersting facts. We skimmed and scanned the text to find information.
Next we each got a big piece of paper and we wrote facts on it and drew some ladybirds.
Then we got to show it to room8, Ms Parker's room and we got a sticker and we got to show them to the class.

Interschool Rugby

Today I played interschool rugby, I made six and a half tackles.
It was very hard making the tackles. We played the other Fitzroy team.
Our team won. It was a really good game.
