Puppet Show in Room 3

Room 7 came to our class to perform 4 puppet shows. The shows perfomed were Tinkerbell, Three Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears and The Ugly Duckling.


In this picture they are performing the Three Little Pigs.

We all loved the performance by Mark.


The children had to make the puppets, the stage and the scenery. In this performance the children wrote the puppet show.

I liked the performance about Tinkerbell because when I looked at the stage it looked amazing! By Julius.

I liked the performance about the Ugly Ducklings because they found cool materials to make the props. By Toby

I liked the performance about the Three Little Pigs because they didn't say how the wolf died they just put him down the chimney and said he was dead. By Sam

The school has been involved in a photo competition. Children who entered had to take a photo of their choice. There were 3 different prizes - First Prize, highly commended and People's Choice Award for each of the sections - Junior, Middle and Senior. The People's choice award was voted on by the children in the school of the photo they liked the best out of each section.

We have two winners in our class.

Carlo won the Highly Commended in the Junior Section for his photo called Sky High.




Bailey Puata's photo (Dog in Teddies) of his gorgeous dog was voted the People's Choice for the Junior's by all the children in the school.





Well done to these two children and to the other children who entered. I was one of the judges and it was VERY hard to decide.

Autumn writing

AUTUMN


Room 3 went out to enjoy an Autumn day. Here are some of the stories that they wrote, using their senses to describe what they experienced.


Today our class went to see what it was like on an Autumn day. We saw mushy snow up on the mountains. We heard leaves crackling under our feet. We smelt fresh air. We felt veins of delicate leaves. Autumn is exquisite!

By Toby



Today we went outside to experience an Autumn day. I saw bare trees. I heard cars. I smelt the cold air. I touched leaves. Sometimes playing in the leaves are fun!

By James


Today we went outside to experience an Autumn day. I saw snow on brown mountains. I heard baby birds chirping. I smelt smoke. I touched tatty leaves. I like Autumn because you get to play in the leaves.

By Neo



Today we went outside to experience an Autumn day. We heard birds chirping. We saw bare trees. I smelt air. We touched crackling leaves. I’m upset because winter is coming.

By Corbin.



Today we went outside to experience an Autumn day. I smelt some leaves and some trees. I touched some leaves and they are smooth. I heard the little leaves moving in the wind. I like the wind blowing the leaves.

By Taylor



Today we went outside to experience an Autumn day. I saw leaves crunching. I heard birds chirping. I smelt fresh air and I felt the cold wind. I was very cold outside.

By Zoe



Today we went outside to experience an Autumn day. We saw leaves falling from the trees. We heard birds chirping. We smelt air from the sky. We all touched tatty leaves. I like Autumn because we get to play with leaves.

We had visitors

Taylor and Grace from Room 4 brought us in a surprise today!

They brought us in some of their puppies. They were so cute and very playful.

They made us laugh.
