We're Going on a Walnut Hunt!

We're learning to add detail to our stories to help paint a picture in the reader's mind.  Can you spot the 'wow' words we used to describe the walnuts?

We went on a walnut hunt.  We walked through the forest hunting for a walnut tree.  Then we swished through the leaves looking for the walnuts.  I found some bumpy brown walnuts on the ground.  I love walnuts.

I filled my basket up.  We found the little, bumpy walnuts under the leaves.  They are hard, bumpy, little and very wrinkly.

We went on a walnut hunt today.  We found walnuts by the walnut tree.  They are little and bumpy.  I have not ever had a walnut.

Alexia

Today we went for a big walnut hunt.  I found heaps of hard, bumpy walnuts.  They were on the ground and we had to search through the leaves. 

Jenna

We went on a walnut hunt.  Max got 1 and I got heaps.  They felt bumpy and dirty.  We had a basket to carry them back to Room 1.

The Leaf Boat Race

We made leaf boats and had a leaf boat race at the school pool.  We went back and wrote stories about what we did...

Riley's boat went too fast because it sailed the high winds.  I said, "Wow, Riley's was fast."  Mine sunk to the bottom of the pool.

We made leaf boats today and we went to the pool.  We put the leaf boats in the water.  We blew and blew and blew.  My leaf didn't go fast.

We had a leaf boat race.  Riley's boat zoomed.  Everyone's boats were slow even my boat was slow.  Some sunk too and the water was a little bit calm.

Waiariki

We went to the pool.  My boat sunk.  My boat is a leaf boat.  I went to Paki's paddock to pick a leaf.  My leaf was yellow.

Pippa

Riley's leaf boat zoomed across the pool and my leaf was really slow.  Riley won.  I wanted to win.

Mixing Colours

           We grew a pumpkin in our garden and this week we decided to have a 'pumpkin week!'  

We drew pumpkins with a black pastel.  Then Mrs Blakesley gave us 3 paint colours - RED, YELLOW and BLUE to paint our pumpkins but we needed orange and green.  

We discovered that RED, BLUE and YELLOW are called primary colours and that we could mix them to make ORANGE and GREEN.  

We were very clever at mixing the colours to make new colours!

Teddy Bear's Picnic Maths

For maths today we made fruit kebabs.  We had to write down how many of each fruit we put on our kebab stick and then work out how many pieces of fruit we had altogether.
