MOTAT

On Thursday morning room 15, 16, and 17 headed off to MOTAT for our school trip.

My highlight of the day was how we went exploring around all of the exhibits at MOTAT. The coolest part of the day was at the prison room. It had a man lying down looking straight through the window. The man had a blanket over him to keep him warm. But there was also a bucket under his bed. The bucket underneath his bed was used for when he needed to go toilet. I had fun at MOTAT and I hope that we can go there again.

Surprise!!

Something brushed up against my foot and my suprise turned to horror as I looked down and saw a horrible long snake that looked very scaly. The snake was staring at me as if it wanted to eat me all up. That made me scared and also made me want to scream but I decided not to scream and just run.

While I was running away from the terrible snake I turned around and there it was slithering across the grass and aiming towards my legs. I ran and I ran shouting, “Mum, Mum! There is a snake trying to eat me all up!" But my Mum couldn't hear me because she was too busy feeding my little sister.

So I just kept on running. I ran around the house but still the terrible snake was still slithering behind me. I stoped and looked back at the snake. It looked very tired so I kept running so that when it got too tired to chase me I could just lie down.

Finally it was too tired to chase me anymore. It stopped and lay in the grass like a dead snake but it wasn't because it was still breathing. It was still looking at me. It made me very scared but this time I didn't run but I did scream “Mmmmuuuummm!”

Partly Cloudy

The movie we watched was called partly cloudy. In the movie there were 2 main characters who were Partly cloudy and the Stalk. The movie was set in the sky where the clouds were. At the beginning of the movie the clouds were making babies and the stalks were delivering them to the new Mums and Dads. In the middle of the movie Partly Cloudy was not very happy. Partly Cloudy was not happy because the other clouds and the stalks who were working for them had heaps of fun making and delivering. But all partly cloudy could do was make dangerous and scary animals. At the end of the movie the stalk came up with an idea of how he could protect himself from all of the dangerous animals that partly cloudy could make. He decided to go and see another cloud and got him to make some football gear so that he could protect himself.
I would give the movie a 10/10 because at the end it was a happy.

My Paper Tower

On the first week of term two Room 16 had an opportunity to make a tower out of paper. After my first attempt failed we got to have another go. We used scissors, cellotape, glue stick, and rolled up paper. First I glued the rolled up paper then stuck it together to make it taller. I thought it was easy in the begining but as the time went past it was even harder. While I was working with my paper my tower fall over and busted. So I had to start all over again!

Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger!

Last week on Thursday Room 16 we tried to build a tower out of paper. We had a choice to work on our own or to work with a buddy. I chose to work with a buddy so that we could work together and share our ideas. My buddy was Britney.

First Britney and I shared our ideas so that we could choose who's idea was the best for us to use. When we both finished telling each other our ideas Britney choose my idea which was to make triangle legs and make the bottom part wide and make the top part thin. I didn’t agree with Britney because I thought that her idea was to make triangle legs but roll all the parts thin so that the legs can hold all the paper.

At the end our tower looked horrible and it couldn’t stand up. But it didn’t matter because we weren't the only ones! I felt happy because I didn’t just sit there like I normally did.

Miss Rogers

Today we have a wonderful lady in our classroom. Her name is Miss Rogers. She has a different accent from us because she came with a bunch of other people from America. She has a wonderful looking and she suits the way she dresses. Miss Rogers is a very kind person and she is always polite. I hope She would visit us again.
