Being Clowns

Today Miss Taffard got us to dress up as clowns. First we all we read a book about Wobbles the clown. Then Miss Taffard put up some questions for us to answer about the story. Miss Taffard called my name and I was the first person to get my face painted. I couldn’t see myself but I still thought it was funny, because everyone else was laughing.

Next I finished all my work fast and saw everyone else get their face painted too. We all were clowns and had all the same faces.  When all of us had finished getting our faces painted white and red, Miss told us to line up. Shayde was holding the parachute in his hand.

We were all excited and a little noisy because we all really wanted to play with the parachute. We were all going to the field. I was happy to go and play with the parachute. All of us spread the parachute out.  

Keara had the ball and had to throw it in the middle. We all played three games and it was the ball in the middle and it was about the colour on your right. If Miss taffard called your colour you would have to run under the parachute and go to the same colour somewhere else. We didn’t get the chance to play the third game because the bell rang and we were all hungry.

 We all had our lunch and some people were still wearing their face paint. I loved dressing up as clown because they are so silly and funny at the same time.

Community Library Invitation to All

School Hall Progress

 18th March

 

Wow! look at the progress on the hall. Room 12 has been watching with excitement and anticipation!  We can hardly contain our excitement wondering what the finished product is going to look like!! What color do you think it will be. I’m picking it will be the same as all the other buildings, but imagine if our hall was all  the colors of the rainbow? Now that would be awesome!!!

All of a flutter in Room 1

We have learnt to kick with the flutter board to get to the other side.

Mrs Traffard has been working hard to build the children's confidence in the water and they already lifting their feet to kick across the pool. Watch out Seniors, Room 1 will be challenging you to a race if they keep up their fast learning.

Perfect Paper Planes

Flying my Paper Plane

 WALT: add details, thougths and our reader into our recount

March 8, 2013

Have you ever made a paper plane before? Well room 23 and I have, we sat on the little mat and made our paper planes. We did this after morning tea, we did this so we can learn more about origami.

 

First we sat on the mat we were all squashed up together, you should of seen us. Mrs Dunbar read us a book; it was called The Perfect Paper Planes. It was about a boy that knows how to make paper planes. Have you read it before? Then Mrs. Dunbar got some coloured pieces of paper, we were going to make paper planes. My coloured paper was blue like the sky. Do you like the colour blue? Later when everyone got their pieces of paper, Mrs. Dunbar taught us how to fold a paper plane but I already knew how to make a paper plane, do you? I had to help other people with theirs because it was very difficult for them.

After that, we got to design our plane. I only did a star because we did not have enough time. When Mrs. Dunbar came out of the art room, she had a huge plane but she said that she tricked us because she made it on Saturday. Our class went out onto the field, the grass was a bit brown like it was burning in the sun. I put my sandals on because I didn’t want any rocks under my feet.

 

Finally we got into a line, a straight one. We turned to one side and threw our planes. I think that Trego won because it went over the fence, then landed on the park. We turned back to the other side and threw. You should have seen my plane, it went far but I didn’t win. It was still fun. Sivangu was the champion, she won too.

I really enjoyed making my paper plane.
