The Snake Cake

Last week Room 10 read the Snake Cake by Pauline Cartwright.  In the story the Queen wanted a different cake for her birthday so she ordered everyone to make her a special cake.  She declared that the person who baked a special cake would be able to come to her party.  But everyone made cakes that she had already had. Then the children from the village came up with a great idea and made a snake cake.  The children laid out some cookies in a long curvy line on paper. They stuck the cookies together with jam. Next they iced the snake.  The Queen said “Wonderful!!”. 

We thought the snake cake looked really delicious so we decided to make our own snake cake. It was fun to make and we got icing all over our hands so we got to lick it off our hands. Yummy !!! It tasted as sweet as fruit bursts.

Demolition Day

The claw smashes the metal bars.
The claw picks up the metal and throws it into the junk pile.
Metal falling from the sky and smashing on the ground.
Charlie

The bulldozers claw smashing and big bits falling.
Iron bashing and crashing  everywhere.
The crashes were very, very loud.
Jackson

Destruction of Halswell School
The digger smashes a whole room.
The roof is coming apart.
Walls coming down in seconds.
A gas bottle lying down.
Samuel


The Bash
Wood smashing on the ground.
Pipes getting a beating.
The trees are dodging the digger.
By Tom

Underwater it sounds silent and it's like slow motion.
Legs are kicking everywhere.
Arms are moving round and round.
Heads are popping up.
Going deep down to the bottom of the pool.

Discovery Time

We have been very busy during discovery time today. Our ACTIVE focus was sharing.
"I shared the crayons at the butterflies," said Mercedez.
"I shared the paints with other people," said Sammy.
"I shared the paint brushes,"said Lilly.
"I shared my ideas with Madison and Isobella," said Caleb.
"I shared my plan and boxes with heaps of people," said Jak.

This is our rocket  called Enzo.

 These are my googles for when I am older and am making a robot.

The Shooter

It has a big parachute with a big box to hold onto it. It opens up and it is for getting away from bad guys.

Our Treasure Chest

This is the treasure chest that we made. It has bracelets and rings in it. We made seaweed to cover it so nobody sees the treasure. We worked really hard together to make it.

My Helicopter

I made this helicopter all by myself. Inside it has a screen that is like a computer. It is an army helicopter. I made a plan before I made it.

We have over 2,000 page views!

How to Clean a Fish Tank by Tamati and Tom

We are learning how to use the app Pic Collage.

In writing we are learning how to write instructions. We used Pic Collage to help us. 
We are focusing on:

- numbering each step.
- starting each step with a capital letter.

Motor Cross

In the weekend I went to motor cross. At motor cross you had to follow tape on the pegs. It was muddy. It was hard. I got a trophy for coming third. It was exciting.
