Kung Fu Punctuation

We are learning how to punctuate our writing, we find it a bit hard so we decided to try and find a fun way to help us remember the different marks we need.

Baa baa - guess who visits our class?

Ms Daniels's daughter brings her lamb to school two or three days a week. The lamb's name is Kaos, she loves coming to visit Room One, especially having stories read to her or watching the children write about her crazy adventures.
Can you see something special about Kaos?

Virtual Flying

How exciting today we went on some virtual flights using Google Earth.
We found our school then took flights to:

1. Waikato Hospital to see where Madison and Flat Stanley had been and say "Hi" to Chloe's nana.
2. Lichfield School to say "Hi" to Rion.
3. The Auckland SKy Tower just for fun.

Here is Waikato hospital:

On the way to school today…

Oh no falling sheep!

On the way to school today I saw fat sheep falling from the sky into a hot pool, sheep fell into it like a bit of rain.

Shaking trees wibble and wobble to the music inside. The trees were shaking like a volcano erupting.

I wonder what I will see tomorrow?

My dog Rosie

Wow! Skin shimmies in the sun, a bright puppy called Rosie runs up to me. I feel happy. She stares at a chewy bone I threw for her, when she caught it she sat on my lap. I patted her; her snow is a soft as snow. She is also cute and a bit fluffy. Rosie is a Caviller King Charles Spaniel. The only time she squeals is if she gets a flea and she barks when something is wrong. Brown and white patches on her body sparkle and shimmer when Rosie walks. Her tail wags as fast as a satellite. I love Rosie!

Making Paper Snowflakes

We are beginning to explore shapes and symmetry. There are many different shapes that can be found all around us and lots of symmetry too.

We are going to make paper snowflakes. The coolest thing about snowflakes is that no two are the same - just like us!
