Go Room 4!

It has been a lot of fun working with room 4 this year. To celebrate the last week of school we had a little photo shoot on the playground. Saurish and Suniya were both away, but you guys have been awesome to work with too! I hope to keep in touch with everyone in 2017, and good luck to Olivia and Zishan at Churton Park School too. We will miss you!

Sharing Time.

On Friday, there were a lot of us wanting to share our reading and writing work to the class. There were some journal plays, great stories, puppet shows and even a space unicorn dance and song.

Puppet Shows

Some of the girls decided to turn their writing work into puppet shows today. We got to see some very clever performances (including one that had Donald Trump being played by a magpie!)

Nice work girls.

Keen Problem Solvers.

Here is a photo of one of our maths groups working out some rather tricky visual problem solving challenges. We have been practicing using trial and error all term and the children are getting really good at problem solving because of it.

Hui Time.

Today room 4 were one of the classes to host the school hui. The children all went on stage and read aloud their favourite sentence from their most recent piece of writing.

They all did well to speak into a microphone in front of a very big audience, including some very interested Mum's and Dad's!

I looked in the window for my Mum and Dad but they were lying motionless on the ground - Patrick.

I shut my eyes and took a deep breath - Olivia.

But Fiza was flat faced on the ground with a knife in her back - Suniya.

When the door creaked shut behind me - Gabi.

Jay could hear a rattling of bones behind him, the chase was on - Ted.

I was walking with my friends and I saw a house. I was frozen in fear. We didn’t dare to take a step - Roman.

I was walking home when someone came running towards me - Oliver.

I looked at the house and gulped - Maggie E.

I got scared. I went to my Mum’s room. She was dead - Poppy.

I shivered as a black cat scattered by - Codie.

Then I opened the door. Something leapt at me and I looked behind me. The door shut - Caitlin.

I slowly walked closer. Yum, a giant ice-cream, that is alive. OMG - Piper.

I ran screaming even though no one could hear my desperate screams for mercy - Rose.

My hair was standing on end. I was shivering like mad. And then when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, I heard an ear splitting crash - Daniel.

Then I opened the door in a spooky house, something made me fall down - Kaden.

They started running towards me - Nakul.

Grandma was gone. “Grandma Grandma” I called. The house was empty like a murderers place - Serena.

They looked strange in the night - Samhita.

The trees are making spooky noises pushing together - Maggie H.

I opened the door. It was dark and smelled like stinky perfume - Kirsten.

She banged the frying pan on Ava. “Oh sorry,” said Mimella. “I thought you were a tiger.” - Aarushi

I went to Mum and Dad’s room. A bat flew by. I ran. Mum was screaming nervously. - Jacob.

I looked in the window. There stood a man. He turned to face me and slowly turned into a werewolf - Michael.

I killed the zombie and I knocked down the old door and ran as fast I could until anyone came. It was like a museum of sharks - Saurish.

I saw a door in the distance. I started running towards it but it was getting further away. - Jayden

Talent Show.

Zishan was invited to perform with his violin in front of the school before the start of the talent show on Wednesday. He played his very complicated song really well and got a big round of applause when he finished.

Well done Maggie on making it through to the finals of the talent show. She got up in front of a very big audience and sang the classic song "sitting on the dock of the bay." We were all impressed by her great voice and I was especially impressed with how well she could hold a tune when singing through a microphone....not as easy as it looks. Good on you Maggie.

Mega Marble Tower

Daniel worked as a buddy with Zishan the other morning and the two of them completed a mega marble tower. When we tested it out, it took a very long time for the marble to reach the bottom.
