Guess what am I?

I jump up high
in the wide open sky.
I can be short or tall,
But I always play with a ball.
I roll on the ground,
Happy to play around.

What am I?

Chanell Room 9

What am I?

What am I poems.

What am I?

I have feathers

That look like peppers.

I fly in the sky

Up very high.

My tail is black and white,

I fly up like a kite.

Henna on hands over the weekend

Milton is reading Astrosaurs Academy

It is about dinosaurs and robots in space.

It is a funny book. They have a dung powered space ship.

I wish I was a kite

I wish I was a kite

So high into the white

But when the wind will blow

The kite will dive down low.

It will be so fun you see,

Come touch the sun with me!

We talked about the great Athletics Day we had on Friday.

We liked the high jump, the tug of war, the running and the sack races. Well done everyone.

Today we were filling in a rubric about goal setting and time management.

We played some games organising pencils and timing how long it took us to do it as examples.

Athletics day starts!

Cyclone Pam.

Matin explaining about Cyclone Pam, in Farsi.

Matin is talking about the cyclone and how the wind blew over trees and crushed cars.

Ideas about helping Vanautu

Reading a eggs in class is a hit

Real time look at PAM. We learnt a bit about reading maps.

Those isobars look amazing.

Fire drill!

New members to ESOL! Welcome Tupou

Mihi in Afghani

We are learning to write our mini in Te Reo Maori. But also recognising people's own cultures.

We didn't go to the beach as it was too cold but we could still talk about and look at sand castles

We looked at all the words to do with castles and then drew some.

Recounting our experience

We are going to the beach next week!

In class Matin Elham and Ahmad have been making origami bears as part of writing recounts.

More Matatini

We have been looking at Te Matatini and discussing the vocabulary and the away Moari tell stories through song and dance.

Matatini 2015

We are watching one of Te Matatini

The students are asking lots of questions. At the moment one of the Christchurch teams are on. good Luck.

Steve wants to say that the girls are pretty. Davinia saw a maori necklace  and a girl with poi. Chris saw that both boys and girls have earrings.Priyanshu wanted to know what the piu piu were made of and how they use the taiaha. Chris says that one if the men is wearing a cloak. Davinia asked what the necklaces of metal. Steve saw a man with a blue cloak. Steve said that many of them have cool tattoos. Priyanshu said the boys have tattoos on the face but the girls just have them on their chins.

We noticed that the performers move their hands in little shake movements and talked about showing strength and mans.

Alarms!

Today we learnt about the alarms at school. One alarm is a fast pulse alarm. This is a lock down where we all stay inside and keep safe. The teacher will make sure all the doors are locked.

The other alarm is a long pulse for five and then a voice says "please evacuate the building". This is for a fire or other event.

امروز ما در مورد آلارم در مدرسه آموخته است. یکی زنگ زنگ پالس سریع می باشد. این قفل پایین که در آن همه ما در داخل بماند و ایمن نگه داشتن است. معلم مطمئن خواهند شد که تمام درها قفل شده است.

زنگ دیگر یک پالس طولانی مدت پنج است و پس از آن صدای گوید "لطفا تخلیه ساختمان". این است برای یک آتش سوزی یا رویداد دیگر.

We are making pukana faces for Matatini!

Matatini starts today and we are learning the vocabulary

We are using descriptive language to describe animals. Then we learnt to draw one!

Well done Priyanshu for great descriptive language in your sentence.
