Going to gym in the rain.

I heard splashing noises.  I heard raindrops bouncing of umbrellas.  I saw running back and forth.  I felt like one degree.  I felt like a snowman hiding from the weather.  I wondered if it was going to flood.  I wondered if the umbrella will take me away into the rainy sky.

I heard tippa, tappa, tippa, tappa. I heard stomp, tomp and thomp. I saw a splashing deep puddle.  I felt like a frozen ice block. I felt like burning fire when I looked at my cosy jacket. I wondered if it will be unhappy icy rain tomorrow.  I wondered will it stop watering my umbrella.

Room 3 Stories - "The Adventures of Teddy and Stitch"

We are learning to write stories with characters, a setting, a problem, a solution and a feeling.

Once upon a time there was a princess who lived in a castle with Stitch and Teddy.  It was  a rainy night.  The witch stole the princess and boiled the potion up and the princess drank it. The next minute, the princess was a frog, but Teddy grabbed the wand that was filled with poison and passed the wand to Stitch.  Stitch cast a spell on the witch and she turned in to a frog and they put her in a pot. Then they found the big book of spells and cast the princess back to herself. The princess said, "Thank you."  Teddy thought the princess was nice.  The princess was happy. The End.  By Jaime

Once upon a time in the morning, at home, when it had just stopped snowing, Teddy and Stitch went out of the house to play in the snow.  Then! Captain Hook came along and scared Teddy. Stitch got worried about Teddy, he didn't want his brother to die. So he kicked and punched Hook until, "Dun, dun, dun, dun!", Hook fell down a deep ditch and was never to be seen again.  Stitch thought Teddy was very proud of him and Stitch was proud of himself too.  Then they lived happily ever after.  The End.   By Charli

Once upon a time Stitch and Teddy went walking on the moon and they came across a zombie.  They threw a boomerang at the zombie and then they went to their rocket and flew home to Planet Stitch and Teddy. They felt happy because they defeated the zombie.  The End.    By Luke

Once upon a time on a snowy day Stitch and Teddy found a witch's house.  The mean witch was out shopping for some food to cook for tea.  Teddy and Stitch went inside.  But the witch came home.  Stitch hid behind the couch but Teddy couldn't find anywhere to hide. Then the witch caught Teddy in a net, magic-upped some handcuffs and put him in a cage.  So Stitch kicked the witch and she fell in to the fire and died.  The End.   By Ashton

Once upon a time there were two teddies who lived in a mansion.  Their names were Teddy and Stitch.  They loved their mansion.  Then it was night time and they went to bed.  Then is was morning and they had toast.  Just when they were finished their toast, a robber came in and stole their money and gold. Then Teddy caught him and cooked him for tea. 

The End.    By William

Once upon a time on a snowy night at my house I woke up and Teddy the Cat and Stitch the Bird were on my bed.  They were dancing but they fell off my bed.  I picked them up and put them in a safe place.  Then it was morning and I took them to school.  I felt amazing.  The End.   By Holly

Once upon a time Stitch and Teddy were on a cliff on a windy morning.  They were dancing and then an old lady pushed Stitch off, but Teddy saved him. Teddy and Stitch are awesome.  The End.   By Riley L

Once upon a time on a cold night Stitch and Teddy found a dark castle. A dragon lived in the dark castle.  Stitch and Teddy had a pet pig and a pet sheep.  They opened the door and went in to the castle.  The dragon hid behind the steps.  Then Stitch and Teddy went up the steps and the dragon followed them.  Stitch and Teddy heard a noise and zipped up the rest of the steps.  The dragon zipped up the steps too.  Teddy told Stitch to go in to the bedroom with the pets.   Teddy saved everyone and the dragon died.  Teddy and Stitch were happy.  The End.   By Shyla

Once upon a time Stitch and Teddy Bear were in the mountains.  It was hailing.  They were cold.  Stitch said, "Don't look behind!"  But Bear did look behind.   "Ahhhhhhhh", Bear screamed.  Stitch and Bear ran.  Stitch said, "I'll get him" and he scratched the zombie and the zombie died.  Stitch said, "Maybe I am super".  They felt happy.  The End.    By Rory

Once upon a time on a sunny Spring morning Teddy wanted some honey.  He got up and saw a bee hive and decided to get it.  But he got stuck in it.  What a clumsy bear.  Then Stitch came along and helped him out.  But the bees came out as well.  Run, run, run.  Teddy felt sticky.  Stitch thought he should not stop running. Eventually they lost the bees.  The End.   By Izobella

Once upon a time there were two little creatures called Stitch and Teddy.  They were in the forest at night and it was raining.  They were trying to find shelter.   Then a monster came and kicked them away.  Apple Man killed the monster.  That night Apple Man built Stitch and Teddy a shelter.  The End.   By Ethan

We wrote about our visit to the South City LIbrary to learn more about Matariki

Matariki

We went to the City South Library to learn more about Matariki.  We learnt about Rongoa about the properties that plants have that can heal us.

Yesterday I was the first to wake up. I went into my Mum and Dad’s bedroom.  My Mum said “You need to go at 8 o’clock today.  We went to the library and then the gym.

By Ryley

When we got to the South City Library we had to walk around.  We went to go on the computers. I made manuka.  We learnt about Matariki.  I know some of it. We coloured the plants. It was fantastic.

By Nikkita

On Tuesday we went to the South City Library to learn about Matariki.  We went on the computers. It was fun but we had to go back to school for gym.

By Montana

We went in the van.  We went from Freeville School to South City Library.  We went on the computers to colour our plant.  My plant was green, light green and red and yellow.

By Connor

I was sleeping having an amazing dream, then all of a sudden “Get up”. I woke up in a flash.  Mum said, “Your teacher texted me and said you have to be at school by 8.00am”. I got up, did my chores and went to school.  When I got there I said “How come we have to be at school so early?”  Mrs Bourke said, “We are going to the South City Library.”  Soon after that we were there.  It looked amazing.  It was beautiful but when we were about to go in it was closed.  They said we could go in but would be warmer in the van.  So we stayed in the van.  When Mrs Bourke got there she said we will go for a walk to warm up.  I felt freezing.  When we got back they were just about to open.

We went in. It looked great.  We went into the Learning Center.  Sam taught us about Matariki.  After we learnt about it we made posters.  I chose kowhai.  I had a blast at the library.  On the bumpy ride back to school I wondered if we will ever get back and what we would do when we did.

By Jayme

On Tuesday we went to South City Library to learn about Matariki.  We read a story. We went on the computers.  We coloured in plants.  I did a kowhai.  My colour was dark yellow, yellow, dark green and brown.

By Bailey

On the frosty Tuesday we drove to the City South Library.  All us walked to the dirty van.  When the rattly van stopped at the car park the library doors were locked.  So all of us walked around the block.  When we came back from the block I felt tired but the library was open.

Julia

I was having a good dream.  I woke up.  It was 7.00am only one hour until we had to go on Room 4’s trip to South City Library.  I got to school.  I found out that I was going with Trish and my Mum Toni.  Ryan was in the van too.  We learnt about Matariki.  We made picture on plants.  I made one on kowhai.  I made the background blue and purple. I felt happy. Sam printed my kowhai picture in the gigantic printer that was silver and black.  We went back to school in the big van.

Click clack.  What colour shall I make it? Pink or orange, red, purple, green or black?  Now what font shall I do it?  Cowboy’s blood looks cool! “Excuse me how do you make the back ground?”  “You click the magic wand, chose your colours, click the icon that looks like a window. Click a corner and pull.  Press edit and press the bottom icon.”

By Ryan

I was in the middle of a dream. “WAKE UP!” my Mum yelled.  So I dragged my tired self out of my warm cosy bed.  I looked outside. Gurr!!!!! I grunted.  It was ice frost everywhere!!!  I couldn’t decide what to eat for breakfast.  My brother tickled me; he jumped on me so I got back up and got porridge.  My Mum yelled “Let’s go!!!” But I have not had my breakfast yet. “Well bring it to school.”  “OK” I grunted.  I ate it before we got to school. I got out of the warm car into the freezing cold weather.  BBBRRRR. I waited outside until Montana came.  ‘Let’s go” Mrs Bourke said.  I was confused. “Ollie” Trish yelled, “You’re with me.”  So we went in the warm van and drove on the rattly road.  We arrived at the South City Library.  They didn’t let us in.  We walked around the building.  We came at the right time; we walked into the warm library.  We followed Sam down the bright hallway.  We walked into the small room to put our jackets away.  We went into the other room and read a book. We then coloured in a plant on the computer.
