We all learnt a lot about electricity when Ryan did his AAL.  Well done.

Snow at Freeville

Our first snowfall of the year. Yes, the ground was cold enough so it meant the snow settled at sea level. This is what it looked like early this morning and then the sun came out.

The Amazing Place was part of a Christchurch City Playground School's competition.  LT3 entered this as part of their Inquiry. We were lucky enough to go along with our helpers Vanessa, Ruth, Vanessa, Trish and Sarah who really enjoyed it too.
A big congratulations to the children that won the Year 4 category (Ms K's class) Ruth, Haley, Oakley and Kiara and the children that won the Year 5 category (Naomi's class)  Te Tai, Alex, Kowhai, and Kayla.  There were 200 entries and over 3000 children took part.  A great achievement from Freeville School.

Today the man came to school to take photos.  He also took a photo of all the children at school.  He had to stand on the roof. We thought it was funny.

Unspillable Water

Mackenzie's Science Report

My whole class did an experiment with some jars and cardboard and some water.  It was probably the best science ever!

The cardboard was on the bottom and in the jar was some air and the air was holding the cardboard.

I liked it because we got to go outside.  In the jar we like some bubbles that you blow but somehow the bubbles came from the cardboard and I thought that the water would fall out.  I was amazed when the bubbles hit the bottom of the jar and the top. We put the cardboard on and the gravity was holding the cardboard.

Today we did an impromptu Assembly.

Well done everyone.

Boots and Cats Have fun and enjoy

The beach was usual enough......

Mackenzie and Maliyahs  Poem

The beach was usual enough.

It had big and strong waves.

Wonderful and exciting shells.

Splendid squeaky smooth sand.

Sweet and tasty fish to eat.

We did what friends do

We all played delightfully

And swam in the sea together.

The street was usual enough.....

We did writing modeled a little on James K Baxter’s writing.

The street was usual enough. Leaning and hard to get past. We played on the path next to the street.  We crossed the street safely and were careful. We did what boys and Dads do, played together and felt excited.

Rory

The town was usual enough with single houses, a big beach and buildings.  We biked, played soccer, played rugby and ran races.  We did what families do exploring together.

Izak

The street was usual enough, round abouts, flat roads, trees and grass.  We scootered with friends.  We said “Hi” to neighbors and made new friends.  We did what families do having heaps of fun and spending time together all playing in the back yard and getting messy.  

Kendal

The town was usual enough, jewellery shop, MacDonald’s and straight roads.  My granny lives at the jewellery shop.  Me and my sister saw Muda the dog.  I think he is a German Shepherd.  We did what families do being caring, nice and kind.

Flynn

The beach was usual enough.  It had sand, water, fish and sky all over it.  When it snowed we slid down the hills on black bags.  On hot days we went to the beach and played in the water. Sometimes me and my family dug big holes.  That is what my family does best.

Casey

The room was usual enough.  It had three teddies, one net and a tea set.  I’d read books. We did what brothers and sisters do and had adventures down the back of the house. We found hats, cats and mats and even butterflies. I felt exhausted.  I fell asleep on the ground.

Izobella

The country was usual enough, tall hills, fun hot parks, massive cold forests.  We went to Uncle Brett’s for a scrummy tea and swim.  Had a go on the fast motorbike.  We did what cousins usually do

Luke

The room was usual enough.  It had skateboard shelves, a big desk with books, a narrow cupboard and a funny little squeaking monkey.  We talked together, played Lego and read Harry Potter.  We did what families do best, run and work together and have an enthusiastic time.

Mason

The town was usual enough.  The roads were bumpy and rough.  We played running games.  Blue skies above us.  Tripping over unusual cracks on the ground.  Roadwork’s everywhere.  Playing all day like cousins do.  On motor bikes on the farm, scootering on creamy concrete, looking for rabbits, feeling different and lucky.

Caleb

The town was usual enough. Curved and wild roads, parks, trees, nice and warm.  My friend and I liked to play on the trampoline.  We went to the park.  We read at night because we wanted to be better readers.  We did what friends do.   Played games and have extra fun.

Taylor

The city is usual enough.  Wobbly roads, tall and fat houses, golf courses, trees, after shocks and earthquakes.  There’s bouncy bumps and quiet and sleepy roads.  Every night the birds twitter and people try to get to sleep.  We visited MacDonald’s.  Went to school. And to Toy World.  Me and my brothers play wrestling and rugby and soccer and play cricket.  Cooper and me play Wii and Jackson plays play station.  We did what brothers do.  Fight and enjoy life and have 5 times as much fun as we mostly do.

Brodie

The city was usual enough.  Sandy and dark and smooth and tiny and with a spiky tree on the other side of long grass.  We ran around the block 3 times.  We scootered around speeding on the street.  We did what brothers do, hang around all the time and wrestle on the tramp and play cricket.

Ollie

The house was usual enough.  It had cream bricks and white walls.  A lot of trees and a play house.  Me and my brother played around in my room.  We slept in my room.  Watched TV and played outside on my trampoline.  We did what families do.  Played together, went to the park together and never left anyone behind.

MacKenzie

The house was usual enough.  Old grass, concrete a bumpy drive, two small cars.  We played sport, ran around and feed fish and played Wii. We did what brothers do, played and argued over games.

Noah

The street is usual enough. Curly and busy. We did what brothers do. Biking fast like Lightening McQueen.  Running zippy like cars and scottering as hasty as a cheetah.

Ryan

The room was usual enough. Colourful duvet cover, one big teddy, one long desk, two little lights.  I drew on my desk all the time.  I slept in the colorful bed and cut some stuff out that I drew with my stencils.  We did what families do, wearing slippers, coloured in, cut stuff out.

Ashleigh

The room was usual enough.  I did my nails and watched TV.  I read my book and picked up my cell phone and played some games.  It had colourful walls and a desk as well, an owl duvet cover, and pillow.  I just sat around on my cell phone playing games.  Just doing what girls do.  Sometimes my friends came over and we had pillow fights.
