Story Writing

What happened after the fat kitten got stuck in the honey pot?
By Solani.



Once there was a little kitten stuck in the honey pot. It ate all the honey and then the kitten is now fat and it can't get out of the pot because the honey is stuck on its tail.




Where was Maggie when she should have been at school?
By Lise




Maggie thought it was the school holidays but it wasn't. So since she thought it was the school holidays she went to Noosa and she went canoeing out on the sea. It was quite fun for her. She decided to live there.
Well in the end she got in trouble with her family and the school too. So she had to go back to Christchurch and she was really, really sorry to her family and the school too.
So they lived happily ever after and really good again.



Why does the moth fly around at nighttime?
By Ethan




Moths fly around at night time because they don't want humans to see them. So they can flutter around the window, get burnt by a candle, go to all the lights in the house and flutter around the lights and then go away.




Who helps the tooth fairy deliver the tooth money at night?
By Gianni.




I think that your mum takes the money from the tooth fairy and then your mum will put the money in the water and then your mum will take the tooth and give it to the tooth fairy.

Little Bird Tales

As part of the ICT contract we have been introduced to Little Bird Tales.
This is a programme to write stories online.
Children from Room 4 offered to help us learn how to use this app.



Each group of children set themselves up and began to write their stories.



We are able to create our own pictures as well. Thanks Room 4!

Special places

Today Room 1 and 2 began our unit on Special Places. We walked down to the site where the Baptist Church used to stand and experienced the of 185 Empty Chairs that commemorates the lives of those who died in the earthquake on 22 February 2011.




Chris the Minister explained about the 185 square metres of grass and the 185 Empty Chairs.








We spent two minutes in silence to pray for those who died.




We then walked across to the river and looked at the sculpture that commemorates those who died in the Twin Towers on 11 September.




















Both places are special to the people of Christchurch.

We are now making patterns of 12.....
