Christmas with my family

Today we wrote about what we do on Christmas day with our families.

Creative Writing

Today Miss Birtch taught us how to write a paragraph with 4 sentences.  

I see mountains with green nearly brown colored grass spread out all over it and the bright blue sky behind. In the dark blue sea there are a lot of of boats floating in the water. On the bottom I can see a mountain with bright green trees. When I look around I see heaps of people swimming and having a good time. 

My name is Paige, I have Blonde hair darker at the top lighter down the bottom, I also have green eyes and I come here every weekend because my grandparents have a batch out here. I love to explore, I love the views you get to look at when you get up high and see the whole city. One day I went out for a walk and found a path I have never found before. When I got to the end of the path there was a old house I looked like no one lived there, as you know I love to explore so I went inside the house. 

When I was about to open the door a lady who looked like she was in her late 30's opened the door. She was yelling and screaming at someone in the house, she turned around a saw me. She just walked straight past me like I wasn't there. Then she was about to get in her car but she screamed again and ran over to me when I was walking away " HELP ME!" she said running towards me. 

When I turned around she was standing their crying, I was so confused I had no idea what was going on. There was a little kid walking out holding a dead rat. The lady screamed again and ran behind me. The little kid started to laugh but the lady was crying in fear. I asked " What's wrong." she said " I don't like rats, my cat killed a rat and brought it in then my daughter Lily picked it up and started running after me." I picked up the rat through it of the cliff and helped the lady then went home for a long shower. 

Summer Learning Journey

Hi Emma, I am Paige. Today we signed up for the Summer Learning Journey. The Summer Learning Journey is a program that runs through the Christmas holidays. You have to do blog posts to keep up with your learning.

Something that interests me about the Summer Learning Journey is the Shakespeare one. I like that one because Shakespeare interests me a lot. I am also looking forward to doing the Experiments and gadgets. I really like doing experiments because I like to do risky things.

I hope I will achieve at least 5 blogposts in the Christmas holidays. I hope I will achieve it so I can get a prize. I might not be able to do all of the tasks for the Summer Learning Journey, but I will try as I am going on holiday twice. Whenever I have time I will do a blogpost. I was wondering how long have you been working for the Summer Learning Journey?

Orana Wildlife Park School Trip.

On Monday we went on a school trip to Orana Park. We all met at the Learning Commons at school and we got a name tag so everyone knew our name. Before we left we had morning tea. When we got there we got split into two groups. I was in group two with Rarotonga, Shanarnia and Haylee. The person showing us around was Elizabeth. We went to look at most of the animals but sadly some of the animals were in their cage because it was too windy. We went to see the Kea and they were running away from each other and it was pretty funny. When we went to see the lions they were roaring at each other. At the end of the trip we went to feed the giraffes. We could only do it once but I really liked feeding them.

CIP

In CIP we have been organising a stationery recycling box that will be all over school. I think everyone in school will join in on this. I hope we get 20 kgs.  With the money we get from Terracycle I want to donate the money to Kids Can. We can spread our message with everyone by posting about it on our blogs.

Mufti Day

Last week in CIP we planned a mufti day for the 8 of August. The theme is radical rainbow.

What was the planning process? How did we come up with the theme?
We got into groups and wrote down some ideas for the mufti day then shared them to the class and did a vote. We come up with radical rainbow.

Who are we raising money for? What do you know about them?
We are raising money for the kids can charity. I know that they help kids in need.

What makes a successful mufti day?
Everyone joining in and wears rainbow.

What jobs do you have/will you have?
I would like to collect the money in period 2.

How is this spreading kindness in our community?
We are showing that people who do kind things will get things back.

CIP

In CIP we have chosen for our art work to make a Native birds. Last week we wet in groups of three to pick up rubbish for our art work. In our bag we got a lot of plastic, food, bottles etc. We only picked up one bag but we had a lot in it. 

I think the native birds idea is a good idea even though i picked the H for hornby. I think it will work out well if we work together to make it good.
