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.

Swimming Lessons



Excited.
All the children having fun.
Water swaying in the light.
It smells of chlorine.
By Isobelle


In the water it is fresh.
My legs are kicking like a speed boat.
People dive like dolphins.
By Bailey

It sounds noisy like drums beating.
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!

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:
- using an action verb at the start of each step. 
- numbering each step.
- starting each step with a capital letter.
