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

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.

MASSIVE

Lower Moutere is participating in Massive which is a combination of performance and visual art created by schools around the region. This year we decided to take part in the Visual Art side of things. We decided to work together with another class to produce part of the whole schools visual art based around the theme of IMAGINE.

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.

Julius has a sister!

Room 3 would like to welcome to the world.

Helicopter Visit to Lower Moutere School

How lucky were we. Two helicopters came to visit our school! We had so much fun looking at the helicopters.

Our Trip to the Rocky Shore and the Touch the Sea Aquarium

Bejamin Bear was very excited that he was getting to go on the Room 3, 2 & 1's trip to the Rocky Shore and the Touch the Sea Aquarium.


Here is Taylor, Mark, Jack and Benjamin Bear in the car on the way to the Rocky Shore.




Room 3 went to the Rocky Shore first. We had a great time looking for all the different creatures we could find.








After the Rocky Shore we went to the Touch the Sea Aquarium and meet a man called Richard. He taught us lots of things about fish.



He even dressed Bailey Puata in our class as a fish.




We saw lots of amazing animals like crabs, Eels, Stingrays, sharks, turtles, sea horses (Miss T favourite), squid, Octopus and many others.(look at the slideshow below of some of those animals. Zoe took the amazing photos)


After the Touch the Sea Aquarium we came back to the Rocky Shore and ate our lunch before our afternoon of activities.



One of our activities was sketching the rocky shore.


We got to play on the playground and Miss T did too!


Here is Nicole going down the slide.


We played rob the rock pools. We had parents against children. Children think that they won and the parents thought that they won! We couldn't decide so we did a draw.


I felt good because I could see the animals under the microscope. By Tyler
