Seth's trophy

I got a trophy from rugby on Saturday.  It is a VERY BIG trophy and it is VERY HEAVY too.  I got it because of my tackling from the Southern game and for being the most improved player all season!  I just dropped my mouth when I got it because I was so impressed with myself and my Dad was too.

Room 1 complete a tally chart

Room 1 are learning about road safety.  We put on our safety vests and studied the traffic on the main road.  We kept a tally chart about the type of traffic passing our school.  Cars travel fast!

Chicken Surprise.

We read a book called Chicken surprise. It had three chapters. Then we made this poster about it and we retold the story.

This is our poster called Chicken Surprise. We all worked together and did a chapter each.

We hope you enjoy our poster.

The Flat Lizard

One day my cat Lightening found this lizard in the stones and brought it inside. The lizard's tail came off and Lightening chased the lizard under the mat. The lizard was squashed under the mat where Dad sits on the chair. Mum found the flat, dry lizard a few days later when she was cleaning.
The lizard's tummy is like gold and his claws look like needles.

Tortoise Soup Chapter 1 - 4

Tortoise Soup Chapter 1

                                      

 Where is Goat?                                      

One morning Tortoise crawled out of his hole and went to the river for a drink. He saw his friends, Raven and Rat, waiting there with unhappy faces.

 "What's wrong?" said Tortoise? 

"Goat's late," answered Rat.

"Goat is never late," said Tortoise.

"I'll go up in the sky and see if I can see him," said Raven. 

"We'll stay here," said Tortoise and Rat.

Tortoise Soup Chapter 2

TO THE RESCUE!

 Once Tortoise, Rat, and Raven had left the riverbank, Rat and Raven took flight. One thing that was crazy was that rat was riding Raven like horse! Suddenly Rat could see something in a net. So Raven glided down to check it and saw that it was goat! He had been caught in a hunter's net! Rat quickly gnawed through the net and set goat free. Next minute tortoise was puffing beside them.

"Oh Tortoise you shouldn't be here it is not safe!"

 Goat, Raven and Rat ran but Tortoise couldn't keep up with them...and the hunter caught him and put him in his hunting bag. 

Tortoise Soup Chapter 3

          Goat Gets Away           

The hunter found that the goat was gone and his net was ruined. Rat and Raven quickly escaped from the hunter. The hunter decided to eat tortoise soup instead. He thought that tortoise soup would be good to eat. Goat made a plan to rescue tortoise...    

Tortoise Soup Chapter 4

Tortoise Soup

Goat had an idea!

Goat would lead the hunter away from tortoise who was trapped in the hunter's bag.

Goat raced towards the hunter and she hobbled in front of him. The hunter said, " There's that goat and she's hurt. Now I can catch her easily."

Rat was biting the rope on the hunter's bag, then tortoise was free as a bee! When the hunter came back he saw the bag was empty.

"Oh no! No tortoise soup and no goat either!" said the hunter. 

The next day at the river goat and tortoise said to the Rat and Raven, "Thank-you for saving us!"

 Rat and Raven said, "Good friends always help each other."

Tortoise Soup

The gold group read a story called Tortoise Soup and after the reading they retold and summarised the story - first in pictures then by writing. It worked out really well because there were four chapters and four children in the gold group! Happy Reading!

Reading. 01.08.13

At reading time my group does ... Listening post, letter writing, library, reading games and other fun

things. My favourite one is the dough.
