Walk on Wednesdays

This week three people from our Learning Zone were rewarded for walking to school by Mrs Hishey from the Travelwise campaign. Well done Harshil, Mellisa and Kawiti!

Shaun the sheep's adventures by LZ4

Shaun was bored. Even the dog was bored. Suddenly the blue tractor came down the road. A yellow duck walked slowly in the road. The farmer went sideways and dropped some cabbages. Then one went to the duck and hit it. After the cabbage rolled quickly to the sheep. The sheep kicked it and played soccer. All of them wanted to play soccer. The dog got frightened.

Shaun was going to school, but there was a big fire. He did not know what to do! He thought and thought then he had an idea. He said "we will put the fire out with water." The fire went out.  By Kawiti


One day, the farmer was in his black musty and dusty bed. He got his special glasses and went out of the door. Next he was going out on his tractor, but it didn't work. The dog came to help. The dog accidently sprayed petrol on the farmer's face. The farmer walked around the farm and Shaun the sheep stole his glasses to be a rockstar. Then the farmer drove the tractor and he stopped because there was a scarecrow in front of the road. He wrestled with the scarecrow. He drove back to the farm and crash!!!!! Meanwhile, it was night and the farmer was going to shear the sheep. But Shaun made some new glasses and put them on the farmer. He stopped what he was doing and went to sleep because it was night.  By Michael

Snow's visit to LZ4

Today when I went to school I saw a guinea pig from Miss Baker's class and I was impressed. I wanted to touch it and Ms Koltonowska let me touch it. She also let the other girls touch it. Then for a while, Ms Koltonowska said it was time to sit on the mat to hold it and to give it a little scratch. When it was my turn, I held it in a towel and I started to feel a bit braver so Ms Koltonowska took off the towel.   By Tanisha


Today, we got to hold a guinea pig. First Miss Baker brought the guinea pig. When she was finished with it, we got to have a stroke. The guinea pig's name was Snow. He was an albino. That means he had no colour. He was just white with red eyes. I felt excited. We had to hold him inside a towel. I was excited to see a guinea pig inside our class.    By Romana


Today Miss Baker brought Snow to school so we could look at him. He felt like a teddybear. He looked like snow on a hill. His eyes were red like apples and his fur looked like snow.   By Kawiti

Using our imaginations...

Today it rained. It rained all day. We were cooped up inside ALL day! Our teacher took out the dressing-up clothes for the first time this year and we went wild. It was so much fun dressing up, playing princesses and cops and robbers. We had time to use our imaginations to role play different scenarios. We laughed so hard we thought our sides would split.

Facts about Ants

 We watched a few documentaries about ants and weaver ants. We also read non-fiction books about ants. After this our teacher asked us what we could remember or already knew about this social creature.

We then did some research on the Internet to find new facts. We had to remember the new information and share it with the class. We are now ant experts so feel free to ask us any questions you may have.
