                    Writing 

We have been looking at including more adjectives in our writing.

Once there were two adults and one dog walking to Mount cook and the snow 

looked like Icing sugar.

 Once on a stormy night at Lake Tekapo there was an old black reindeer

sitting by himself in the darkest forest ever.     BY Dallys 

Last Wednesday we went down to Shirley boys with room 11 and  room 15 and 16 last of all room 7 when we got there we had morning tea.  After our morning tea we stood up and went in the hall we practised on the stage.  We were the 3 people to go on stage after as it was room 11. We had a lot of practises we had like 7. Next it was lunch we sat on the ground then after our lunch we sat on the chairs and did one more practise then after our practise parents started to arive so all the children had to get changed. The girls in our class had to get changed first then the  boys. We were the 4th class to go on stage. Some children's parents were not there when the show was over some poepole from room 12 had to go with Miss Smith-Palmer because their mums could not come because they were at work. Well maybe sink dads to when we got at Banks Ave school people got to have free time some peopole drew some peopole did not lots of people went on davisese and some peopole  played games only some peopole played on study ladder.  After when the bell rung Miss Smith -Palmer said you can go now so the chidren's mothers and fathers who could not come they could only pick them up.  At the end of the day only the people went home with their mother or father.    By Lea

Last Wednesday we went down to Shirley boys for our dance. We went with room 11  and room 7. It did not take long to get there. When we got there we had a little snack break. After the snack break we got to have a run around. Then we headed inside. First we did a practised before the real thing. There was a big stage. We even got to practise on the stage it was fun to practise on the stage. First room 7 perfumed on stage. After  lunch we got our dance clothes on. They looked cool and funny. We had a purple head band  leggings and a funny spot  top. When we were done getting dressed we went to sit  on the seats.Room 7 performed  then the Year Two's after room 12 then us. The dance was sooo fun. By Natalie.

The Art Gallery

Last Thursday the Tuis and Room 12 went to the Art Gallery to make and see Mari art.First Room 12 went up stairs to see the Maori art. Everybody on the painting had a moku , the men wore one all over their face , and the women only wore one on their chin.Next we went down stairs the Tuis went up stairs.The first thing we saw was glitter on a tv to make lots of moving patterns on the tv,some people felt sick after a while, but I got hypnotised.Then we saw a piece of art called sister seven which is made out of black pieces of paper and  then cut out with Maori patterns on it.Finally we went back to the room that we first came into with black pieces of paper,a pencil and yellow scissors because we were going to make our own sister seven piece of art,but we didn't finish it,luckily we got to finish it at school.
