Rugby Training

Mr Stone went to rugby practice and sent us these pictures of practice. A big thank you to our coaches who give their time to our students....good luck with the big game on Thursday.

Hi. Let me tell you about snakes. A snake slithered by my leg and I froze.
"Oh no! There is a snake."

I was scared. My legs were shaking badly. The snake was hisssssssing loudly. My Mum was scared like a monkey!

Today we wrote using a picture as a prompt and I was really pleased with the strong visual images created.

My heart sank as I saw my beloved home ablaze. I stood for a while as the fire leapt violently to other houses. Flames ran furiously from the window and quietly, lightly, the smoke crept into the air.

It was pitch black. My house was crackling and the fire was the only light I could see.

It was terrible.

My heart sank as I saw my beloved home ablaze. I dropped to my knees. The fire blazed from each wall. It hissed and danced like it wanted me to die.

I tried to look for a way out but it was so scorching.

The walls screamed. 

Well done room 5.

Sometimes to generate wonderful writing we all do an activity first. This day we did bubbles. Zane writes...     I wish I was a bubble.
                 I would glimmer like a rainbow
                 as I meet up with my floating friends.
                 But the next minute                   POP!!!
                                         
                 That's the end of me, lucky I'm not a bubble.


I wish I was a bubble.
Floating up     UP          UP!!
'til I reach the sun.
Shimmering.
Light as a feather.
Sparkling like a rainbow.

Flying. FLYING.FLYING...      POP!!!

Each week one reading group is able to complete a chemisty activity. Most of these are cooking, thanks Mrs Setford, but this group tackled slime making.

Our class, along with Rooms 1 and 7 were lucky enough to participate in the Library programme "Winter Warmers." As well as reading great books Nikki came to look at our reviews and award prizes. It has been terrific!
