Bridges

By -
Our new topic this term is about Bridges. 
Soon we are going to go on a bridge tour and look at the different bridges across the Waikato River in Hamilton. 
We had a discussion on bridges. Here are some of our ideas.
  • If there's one road there can be another road going over it to avoid traffic.
  • Help you get across bridges
  • Maybe they can go over a river/ocean.
  • One place is here. Another place is here. It joins them together. 
  • Cars go across it.
  • Made for people to get to the other side.
  • Helps you go to the other side.
  • Helps you get across so you don't die.
  • Long, straight & cars can go on it.
  • There can be a path on it.
  • Its something that goes across things. 
  • Go over to the other side of city.
  • You can exercise on them.
  • bikes
  • cars to go across
  • walk across to the other side
  • lead you to wharf
  • cars and people use them to go to work/town/other places
  • some bridges lift up so boats/ships can go underneath them
  • the sticks that hold it up can be a home for creatures
  • going from one side to another
  • City Icon - like London Bridge

Mother Duck

Every year the same duck comes back to our school to lay her eggs. Building a nest at a school seems like a strange thing to do.  This morning Room 14 went and visited Mother Duck in Fairyland.  We had to be quiet so we didn't scare her. We wonder how many eggs she has laid in her nest? Here are some of our stories we wrote about Mother Duck.  We drew pictures of Mother Duck using Kidpix. As she lays her eggs snug and warm in fairyland Mother Duck is fed by Father Duck. Dugan puts a fence to stop kids from damaging her scaly feathers even though she is tucked away in the leaf litter under the fern. The sky blue eggs will hatch into ducklings soon. I hope they have a safe trip across the road. By Lucy Illustration by Leighton Mother Duck is special to our school. We look after her. We think she is beautiful. I like Mother Duck. She is my favourite bird. I like her pretty feathers. I remember when she was on Putikitiki with her babies. By Kurtis. Illustration by Ryan Mo...

Writing - Swimming

Getting Wet I was jumping up and down singing ‘ring-a-ring-a-rosies’. My goal was getting wet so I tried and tried to get wet until my nose touched the water. Then I had done it! When I was jumping up and down singing ‘ring-a-ring-a-rosie’ I thought it was helping me to move in the water. I was still a little frightened of splashes the people made but day-by-day I got braver and braver. Swimming even helped me float with the board. I love swimming. By Rafeea My Swimming Goal I zoom through the open gate door. I zoom inside the open girls changing room door and I got changed very, very, quickly. I got out of the girls changing room and waited for my turn alongside the gate. Now it’s my groups turn to get in. I slide in the safe way. It was cold and chilly in the pool. My group is swimming lengths. My goal was pinkie finger out before the others for backstroke. I have to float on my back, get my motor legs ready, my ice cream scoop hands ready, and push off. My mot...

Class Treaty

We read the book The Tree House Treaty by Wiremu Grace.   The children in the story built a tree hut in a big old Pohutakawa tree.  They made a treaty to agree how they could all use their tree hut fairly. We created our own class treaty to symbolize how our class is a friendly and supportive learning environment.
