Learn, Create, Share posters

Here is an image of some of us making some awesome posters!

The posters we were making display the words- learn, create and share.  These words represent the learning journey we each participate in.

Learn... is to learn new content, knowledge and skills.

Create... is to create something that shows understanding of the learning. 

Share... is to share new learning and knowledge with others and get feedback.

Film Clip Endings...

In writing, we watched a short clip and had to come up with a new ending for how Neko ended up in hospital, badly hurt. We had to ensure we used the description bubbles to add details throughout our ending. You can watch the actual video by clicking on the link (that way, you will know where the bacon wrapped cats fit)... LINK

Here are some examples of our new endings....

Niko went flying through the air towards the white piket fence that was standing infront of him like a old stachue in a muzeum.He was just lying there why the seven cats rapped in baken came towards him.Ready to attack him but the red coloured baken smelt so good that the dog came to chase the baken cats away.His arms and legs were twisted upwids into the shape of an l.

But then a famer came out to milk the cows and he saw that Niko was laying on the musty hard ground so he dragged him along into the farm house to get Niko better.Then the famer called the ambulance so that sore painfull Niko could go to hospital.

But when the vannila white ambulance with red stripes arived to the farmers farm house the tire popped, so they had to find a way to get Niko to the hospital... but what could they use? All of a sudden they realised that they had tire changeing gare in the back of the ambulance. They raced to fix the tire on the ambulance .Ten minutes the tire was fixed and the meial team grabbed the green scoop stretcher to get Niko and put him into the ambulance.

They were driving for twenty minute and he was in so much pain. They finally got him to the green and white hospital.  they got his exrays and his arms and legs broken form that white piket fence. they rushed him into theater. He got casts onto his arms and legs and he was asleep for ages and when he woke up his head was very saw and his body was in so much pain.

By Chris

As Niko landed on a large bump, he moaned in pain with his head on a lump like a pillow,and his shoulder in the middle of two bumps. He could see the red beady eyes as the cat turned it’s head and stared and stared at him.Nico tried to hold back his dog but it kept running.All of a sudden Niko fell over because the dog was running so fast he could’nt keep up with it.Niko started to get dragged along the ground he started to scream for help “Help!”,cried Niko .Nico thought he arrived  at the bacon kitty farm the dog came to a sudden hault and several red  beady eyes appeared in the dark he could see a giant scratching post with cats crawling up and down he started to walk backwards but backed in to the fence  and then they  started to growl at him the dog however  started to bark at the growling  cats. He turned around and started to run  while he was running  he reached for his phone and called the ambulance.Not long after the ambulance found him and his dog on the side of the road. When Nico was  in hospital he was wrapped up in bandages his mind was blank he didn’t remeber anything.

By Noah

Nico’s foot smashed against the cold, stiff ground as he skidded along trying to hault his dog, when he looked up and suddenly…  His dog had ground to a hault and he went flying past letting go on the rough lead of his pet and went flying into a white fence leading to a bacon kitty farm. It all happened so fast! Nico opened one of his pale blue eyes and peering through the fence was hundreds of beedy little eyes looking at him. He tried to move but he was filled with agonising pain. A short time later Nico pushed through the pain and just grabbed his cell phone. In pain, he pushed in three numbers, 111 and said “help,” and that was it. The 111 people tracked his phone and within minutes the ambulance was there and Nico was put in a scoop stretcher and taken to the hospital. Nico awoke in a Hospital bed and his mind was blank and he couldn’t remember ANYTHING.

Juggling with Mandarins

We are taking part in NZ Read Aloud. Over the past couple of weeks we have been reading 'Juggling with Mandarins', by V.M.Jones aloud as a class. We are completing activities and having discussions with other schools around New Zealand who are also reading this text aloud in their classrooms. So far, we have had to make predictions and create character profiles of the characters in the text. Here are some examples of what we think the book is about. We look forward to reading the text and seeing if any of our predictions are accurate.

Sarah's Prediction

I think this book is about a boy who loves Mandarins and he has a dream about juggling them. So then he tries to to juggle mandarins in real live but it all goes wrong.

Noah's Prediction

I think Juggling With Mandarins is about a boy, who gets bullied and he wants to join a circus, to show that he not just a kid, he can juggle mandarins.

Ashleigh's Prediction

I think that the book will be about a boy who is trying to make his way in the world by juggling mandarins.
