Snow! By Zoe Robertson

At last it was the weekend and as soon as we got there it was bedtime because we weren't in the same bed as usual. In the middle of the night we heard a thump. Lexi, Clarry and I looked outside and we saw snow, so we went to tell the grownups who were in bed. They said they don't know what time it is so we had to wait.

May And Zoe Sharing Their Writing


What have we been up to this week?

James, May, Stacey and Levi read Goldilocks and the three bears in their reading group and preformed the play to us! 



We did descriptive writing about ducks and passed around a real dead duck to help us think of some great descriptive words. 








May and Zoe shared their writing at the whole school assembly. 



Izzy accepted the 'Sing Star' Class award for the best singing in assembly on Friday! Woohoo!! Great work!

Jerseys

Hi there, 
Could everyone please check jerseys over the weekend - we think a couple of jerseys could have accidentally been picked up. If you notice that your child has the wrong jersey, please send it back to school so we can give it back to the owner. 
Please also make sure uniforms are WELL named, we are currently really pushing the importance of being responsible for our own belongings, so having everything well named will help. 

Thanks for your ongoing support

Some of the children choose their favourite story of the week

My book is about me and a dinosaur. I found a dinosaur. It said to me, "hi look at me, I can give you a ride!" "You really think so?" "I do." So I did it was scary first but I got use to it. It was very fun. I said to the dinosaur, "can I come another time?" He said to me that he promised that he would stay there too. I came another time and he was not there. I wondered where he was, so I went for a walk. When I got back then he was there. I asked him why he was not there. He said sorry. I was taking another kid for a ride but you said you would only take your best friend. I just didn't! So I walked away then I went home. I missed him. So I went back and then he promised from now on he will only take me for a ride.
