Buddy Story Swap

It all started yesterday when the kids from school were talking about the abandoned house on the hill and how it's haunted. I didn't know weather to believe them or not, so I went to see for myself. I decided to have a look inside. I slowly creeped through the front door. I had feeling something was behind me so I turned around. The door came swing shut just missing my face. Dust flew everywhere which ended me up coughing in disgust. I was really scared of what could happen next, so I tried to look for light or a switch but there was no power. It got colder as took each step. Finding an exit wasn’t as easy as I thought because of all the darkness. I tried to find a way to the the exit but then I saw two red dots staring at me, I went to see what is was. As I got closer, it seemed to get bigger. The hairs on my arms and neck stood up...All of a sudden the red dots went away and the door opened. I ran out thinking of never going back.

Today we learnt a new task that helps us to write good recounts. The task was that each person in the pair take turns writing something that is continuing that last persons sentence. I worked with Sebastian. We were given a picture that we had to write a recount about in 15 minutes.

Grid Challenge

Today for math we played a game that involves times table and measurement. My partner was Sebastian and we were challenging each other to try fill in our side first. The person with the less spare squares is the winner. This game practice for times tables and measurement skills. It was very challenging and you'll have to think a lot about where you are putting your boxes.

Ancestral Poem

Ancestral Poem

I am a male that comes from the Cook Islands.

A male thats proud of my culture. 

A warrior thats proud of being who I am and where I come from.

Along a path my ancestors approve.   

There will  make peace and there will do anything to protect me
