Term 2 Week 5

At this morning's school assembly Alex received a certificate.

Ka pai, Alex, kei te whaha hihi ahau o kotou, we are proud of you.

This week Callum gained his first Silver Mathletics certificate. Ka pai, Callum, keep working hard at Mathletics.

Over the last two weeks we have been working on plays. We have been using our voices to show our characters rather than relying on props. This morning we visited Room 3 and presented our work to them. All our plays were a variation on the fairy tale, The Three Little Pigs. Everyone did a superb job and Room 3 were able to tell us who each character was. Thank you to Room 3, who were a fantastic audience.

This afternoon we wrote a poem about Little Red Riding Hood. Here it is: 

The Girl in Red

By Room 5

Little Red Riding Hood

Travelled through the wood

To see her sick Grandma.

Her Mother said, “Don’t dawdle on the way!”

But Little Red Riding Hood did not obey.

She stumbled upon a wolf

Who tricked her with a greedy smile

And sent her around the long way.

Then he sprinted to Grandma’s door.

In a flash he burst through and gobbled

Grandma up.

Little Red Riding Hood arrived with her basket

of goodies.

She was in for a surprise!

Everyone finished the poem on their own - check out your child's poetry book for their version. 

Next week we will be writing our own fairy tale.

Have a great weekend.
