Variety Charity

 

The Variety Charity came to school.  We really enjoyed seeing all the vehicles.  It was lots of fun.  We liked the things they gave us.  We gave them some money that we had raised at our Mufti Day.

Art and Joan Miro

Science

We have been learning about thrust and lift when things fly.  Our paper planes needed both thrust and lift off to make them fly.

MI Time

We went scootering.  We had lots and lots of fun.

Dear Sun

Dear Sun

Why are you so hot?  When I look at you my eyes get scorched.  I love the sun because I get to go out to the fantastic and amazing beach.  I miss you when the rain comes.  You look exciting at sun set and sunrise.

William

Dear Sun

You are so so hot, you’re hotter then larva.  I love the pink sky you make in the morning.  It is very nice you are steaming bright.  I love it because I get to go swimming.  Thanks sun.  I also love it when you rain and make a rainbow.  I love you sun.

Jayme

Dear Sun

Why are you sizzling hot?  You come upon me shooting fiery ashes from the distance.  Shining upon the world.  Its lighter when you come.

Taylor

Dear Sun

You are blazing hot with no sun the world would be ice.  You are a ball of gas.  There would be no plants if you weren’t.  It would be freezing and dark and there would be thousands of clouds.  Sun you are so bright and if you weren’t here there would be no trees.  You are hotter than lava.

Ollie

Dear Sun

You are so so hot.  Sometimes when the rainbow is out I think that you and the clouds are having a fight.  I love you sun.

Emma

Dear Sun

You are brighter than the earth.  You’re boiling hot like lava.  I like it when you brighten up the world.  You fire upon other people as well as me. If you wouldn’t be there it would be freezing cold.  But I am happy you’re there.  You are the only one sun. You are here today.

Aaron

Dear Sun

You are sizzling with hotness and scorching with flames.  If you weren’t there I would be freezing cold. I wouldn’t be able to go outside.  Sun you are my hero with “blazing” fire and flames.  When I was born I knew you would be fantastic. From the distance toasting red and flaming with orange.

Brodie

Dear Sun

You burn my eyes when I look at you.  My eyes turn to fried eggs.  And in Fiji I got sun burnt because of you.  At Lake Hood I got sun burnt again but that was because I forgot to put sun block on.

Mason

Dear Sun

How do you shine bright, can you shine better and hotter and brighter?  Can you stay longer?  I want you to stay forever. I love to play outside all day long.  I come in when there are dark freezing clouds.  We love the sun.  How do you shine, we love you so much please come every day?

Kate

To Sun

Thank you for making us warm at night.  We think you are fantastic. We wouldn’t be warm with out you.  Sometimes we feel sizzling.  You are hotter than hot chilli.

Nathan

Dear Sun

I like you because when you shine I go to the beach and have a swim and go boggy boarding.  I get a Mr Whippy ice cream.  Thank you sun.

Josh

The rain feels like a bucket of water fell on me.  The rain smells like me. The rain looks like wet bullets shooting out of the sky.  Today and yesterday it is raining. Today it is alright later, no rain, no matter.  My blue water ring controls the sea and rain.  The grass is wet.

Flynn

It rained....

It rained…..

The rain reminds me of puddles when it rains there are enormous puddles on my street.  My hair turns browner than it is now.  The rain also reminds me of Australia and the swimming pool.  It’s a little bit cold and a little bit blue. The rain comes from clouds that are grey.  The rain does not smell like anything at all.  It feel a little bit happy and a little bit sad when it rains.  There is no rain when the clouds are white.  The rain is just like a drop of water.  Rain is fantastic because it helps plants grow and we need water because ducks will need to have a bath so they are clean.

Ashleigh

It was soggy yesterday morning.  I had to stay in side.  It smelled like grass.  It felt like cotton and looked like skinny marshmallows.

Jayme

Then it rained.

Then it rained…..

The rain looks like the blue sky when it is drinking except it spills it over the clouds.  For us it’s like a huge shower.  It smells like milk. It feels like fresh air. The puddles are like a little pool. My hair gets soggy. Without the rain our plants wouldn’t grow.  With rain the fruit grows on trees.  The rain comes down as quick as lightening.  So it makes plants and fruit grow as fast as a racing car.

Noah

Today it was raining. It was damp and soggy and sticky.  It was kind of like cats and dogs pouring out of the blue sky.  The puddles made me think of tornadoes.

Brodie

The rain reminds me of the ocean.  It feels wet and the sticky puddles are huge. My hair is straight and the rain feels itchy and damp.

Ollie

Yesterday it was damp, wet and foggy.  Another day inside I thought.  And the rain reminds me of Aaron’s dog. My hair goes soggy. Raindrops fall everywhere, whishing and whooshing, splashing and waves.

Taylor

Yesterday when I woke up it was damp.  I could hear the rattling on the roof.  It smells like oil. When it rains it rattles on the roof.  It means no fun time like cricket and Jellie Park or other outside places and people get sick of it and mad.

Luke

Today it is raining.  Some people think rain can make stuff but I don’t think it’s true.  Me and Dad like rain.  Dad likes it because it helps our crops and I like it because we get to play with the blocks.  At home I run to my dojo with my dad and he teaches me judo.   I’m a red belt and only 2 levels to go. We have a leaking roof and it messes up the dojo sometimes.  It is very annoying when it rains.

Mason

The rain looked invisible because it was going fast.  The puddles were big like compact pools.  The rain smelt like salt lying on the clouds.

Josh

The rain feels cold and hard.  The rain looked like the clouds are crying on me.  It makes my hair very smooth.

William

Thank you from Parent to Parent for our donation in 2012

Last year through our Inquiry we raised some money for Autism Canterbury.  We sent off a cheque which then had to be made out to Parent to Parent Canterbury as they look after them.  Here is the thank you card that we got. 

Solan's caterpillar

We are wondering what this little caterpillar will become?  Can you see it?

Izobella's AAL

Pikelets!

This is what the Year 3's get up to while the Year 4's are doing their ASTTLE testing! Mwah ah ah!

Andy Warhol

We looked at some pop art.  Andy Warhol was well known for his.  His paintings are selling for millions of dollars.  He liked painting everyday things like cans of Campbell Soup and famous people.
