Get NZ Writing

Room 4 was lucky enough to send post cards to a buddy class. On these postcards we had to write different metaphors and color in the pictures on the back. When we joined all the post cards together, they made one big poster. Below are some of our metaphors and a picture of the end result. Our buddy class in Auckland were so excited to receive their parcel.

Lockie is as friendly as Minnie Mouse on Mickey Mouse clubhouse.

Spencer is cool like a tank.

Sarsha is kind like a baby bird.

Kira is small as a flower.

What could this be?

Room 4 has received a very exciting parcel.  Take a look inside and guess what we could be doing with all these yummies. Think outside of the box!

Drama

We're going on a bear hunt!

On Friday, Room 4 read the book We're going on a bear hunt. After we explored the different language we acted out the different scenes.  We did this by thinking about the different characters and how they would have got through the different environments.

Watch the YouTube clip and see if you can act out the different characters.

Taylor Swift - Mean

Taylor Swift wrote a song about being bullied,
called “Mean”.  We read the lyrics, listened to
the song and then answered a few questions.
Here are some of our answers.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss!

It was Dr. Seuss birthday on Friday. We decided to celebrate by reading lots of his books and then designing a new hat for Cat in the hat. Have a look at our new fantastic designs.

Fairy Tale Stories

This week we have read many different fairy tales and discovered that not all versions of a fairy tale are the same.

We read the three little pigs and found out that the wolf had a cold and accidentally sneezed the houses down. Poor Mr Wolf only wanted to be friends! In snow white and the seven dart frogs, yup you read that right, dart frogs, snow white tricked the queen and the frogs turned into seven handsome princes.

After reading all these fairy tales we picked our favorites and rewrote them from our points of view. Head on over to our blogs and see if you can guess which fairy tales we rewrote!

We're in this together!

It is important that we all work together for our classroom to function smoothly. Together we discussed what we want our classroom to sound like and feel like. We came up with a few ideas and created a master piece to show that no matter what we will work together to make our classroom a safe and friendly environment where we can all pursue our personal best.
