Writing Recounts...

We have been learning how to write a recount (that is writing about something we have done).  Last week we went and hung out in the playground but stopped every few minutes to chat about what we were doing (hoping to use some interesting words and lock them into our brains).  We spent one day writing about what we actually did, and the next day we used had a go at writing an imaginary recount.  Read the stories below and see if you can work out which ones were real recounts and which ones were imaginary!  


Today before we did writing, we all went to the playground.  I went on the slide.  Liam kept on sliding when I was sliding. It squished me. By Keily
I was on the monkey bars.  I went on with two hands.  I swung…maybe I swung too high, I was scared!  I closed my eyes and jumped.  It was so fun!  By Lara
I am on the playground playing on the slide.  It is fun.  The slide made me fly!  By Liam
I am flying in the air and then I was flying in the water.  I got a crayfish and clam out of the water.  I did a back flip and I flew up and landed on the ground. By Jackson
I went on the monkey bars and I almost got to the end.  I dropped on to the ground.  By Gen
I went on the flying fox.  I had fun.  It went fast.  We had turns.  It was me and Daten.  But I had a wiggly tooth and when I banged on the slide, my tooth nearly came out!  By Corbin
I am a super hero.  I will save the monkey from falling into a volcano.  I will fly with my powers. My name is...SUPERGIRL! By Brooke

Yesterday I went on a bus to El Rancho with some of my friends.
We went to El Rancho because we did our kapa haka there.
When I was singing I felt nerves after our performance
we went back to the room where we got changed then we
changed back into our clothes and then we had something to eat. After that we went to the park and had some fun then we went back to the hall and watched the last couple of performances.

Yesterday I went to Kapa Haka because I signed up for it.  Then we went to get changed back into our normal clothes.  It was embarrassing because we had to get dressed in the hall and there were no toilets. We had an awesome time.

Teddy Bear's Chair...

Teddy Bear's Chair...

Last week we started our technology unit.

We had to create a chair for Mia's bear.  After looking at different chair designs, we decided on the main things we needed to include on our chair and set to work on our first attempt...
This week we will be having another go, using the same things, but thinking about the improvements we can make.

First gymnastics session...

We had our first gym session this year...
We did a great job - lining up, stretching, swinging and climbing.  If any parents want to come and help (or watch) feel free.  Our sessions are 1.45pm on Thursdays.
