The Fox

This term we are focusing on writing descriptions of a moment in time. We are reading The Robber Fox as our shared book and have been learning about foxes. A baby fox is called a kit. Here are some of our descriptions of the picture below.
The little red kit is timid because Mum is out hunting. The kit is waiting on the grass. Its tummy is grumbling. The kit is looking for bugs. By Koda


The kit is waiting for its Mum. The cute kit is in a log. It is hungry. It is brown, orange and black. The grass is tickling its paws. There are lillies growing, also red roses. By Katie


There was a little brown orange kit in a wooden brown log. He was timid and scared. The kit was very lonely because his mother had gone hunting. You can tell because of his snout. He was guarding the wooden log because it was his home. By Danna

A picnic description


On a beautiful sunny day, a family of four went out for a picnic in the park. The girl threw the ball and Mum caught it. The ball was blue, red and orange. Then after playing with the ball, the family started to eat crunchy apples and when they were thirsty, they had orange juice in a yellow cup. Dad was lying down on the green grass. He heard birds singing up in the blue sky. By Barleen

In the holidays....

I went to the zoo. I saw the tigers down in the bottom. The tigers were sleeping. Afterwards I went to look at the other bits of the zoo. They were wonderful. By George


In the holidays, I went to the museum. I was very excited. I saw many guns. I even saw dinosaur bones. First we all went to buy tickets. The tickets were for donation. My Mum and my Mum's parents came. We were wandering around like birds. Next we made masks. There were lots of wooden carved animals. After that we saw creepy snakes in jars. They looked like they were real. I saw what famous people used to help them to walk. I had fun. By Danna


On Saturday Mum and Dad went out shopping. They were buying groceries. Then they found a spot near a shop that was giving away aprons for free and my parents got two, one for my brother and one for me. They were red and there were pictures of food. There was a cookbook and a vivid pen. My Mum bought play money for us to play with. By Maisarah

Mamma Mia! We Made Pizza!

On Wednesday we made pizzas. First we had to mix the yeast with sugar and warm water and wait 15 minutes for it to rise. Then we added flour and salt to make a dough. We put sauce and cheese on our pizzas and cooked them. They tasted delicious!

Science in a van


Science in a Van came to visit us last Friday. We learnt a lot about bubbles. Shavaughn got to hold a pet bubble filled with Carbon Dioxide which made it heavy enough to sit in her hands without popping. We also so bubbles filled with helium which floated straight to the ceiling.

Weekend Recounts

On Saturday Mum and Dad went shopping and I stayed at home with my two brothers and my sister. I played blocks and made a tiny ship. Then my brother and I did some work. After that, my brother and I were playing again. I was so hungry that my tummy was grumbling a lot. I ate some food. By the time I was finished, Mum and Dad came home. I helped Dad to carry the food. By Maisarah


On Saturday I got a new skateboard. It was black and red and blue. My uncle bought it for me. After I got kneepads and a helmet. Then I went to the skatepark. I did flips. Then I went back home. I ate popcorn and we watched movies. Then I went to eat my dinner. By Koda


Yesterday my Mum, Dad, brother and me went for a long walk. We walked all the way to the hill. The view was lovely. I was a little tired. My Mum and Dad decided that we needed to go a little further. So we started to walk and my little brother was lucky because he could sit in his seat. On the way I picked some yellow flowers. The flowers were as yellow as the sun. I gave them to my brother. My legs hurt after the walk. By Danna

Roti and Poojas

Kanav's mum and dad made some roti and pooja for us to try. They are Indian breads eaten as a snack or with a meal. They do not have yeast in them, so are flat.
