One night when danny was asleep his father went out poaching because he couldn’t resist it and he thought danny will be okay because he never wakes up but danny did and danny started to panic and he waited outside on there doorstep for him and when he saw his dad he ran to him gave him a big hug and screamed WHERE WERE YOU I WAS SO WORRIED! Danny’s dad didn’t want to tell danny he went poaching because he thought danny might tell him off because it’s band in there area and half the people who went poaching got arrested but when he told danny he went poaching for pheasants danny allowed him to carry on because if he does wake up again danny would know where his father was.

On a tuesday night danny’s dad told danny he will be going poaching and will be home at 12.00 o’clock and once again danny woke up the clock said two in the morning and his dad wasn’t back DANNY WAS WORRIED THE MOST HE HAD EVER BEEN.

ANZAC animations.

Room 1 are learning to make animations. Our animations are about ANZAC day. We are using play-doh for the people and other toys from home such as sylvanian families, polly pockets, barbies, lego etc. At the end of the session if we had play-doh we had to put it in a ice-cream container. We were scared it would dry out but one day we went to use it and... it was soggy!!! To a lot of people animations are new so we’ve learnt a lot from this super fun activity. It is taking longer than some expected because you have to do more than you expected such as designing the set, painting the set, making the people from play-doh, making the credits, taking all those pictures, bringing in props from home and HEAPS more. We have learnt heaps from the youtube videos like fps (frames per second) We have found out that the more fps the more smoother it will be. We hope that they turn out good!!!

My Aunty in Gallipoli

My name is Jared Wemyss and I was very proud to be asked to represent the school for Anzac Day at Swanson RSA this year. I am very lucky to still have 4 of my great grandparents and I normally attend the Tititrangi RSA service with my great grandfather, great grandmother, nana, my mum and my brother. This year though we were not only spread across West Auckland attending services, we were spread over the world.
My Aunty Karen is a Flight Lieutenant in the RNZAF, based in Blenheim. She was lucky enough to be chosen to join the defence force group travelling to Turkey to commemorate Anzac day in the places it all happened. It’s been 95 years this year and she was very proud to join the group of defence staff, War Veteran’s and high school pupils heading to Turkey to join many other New Zealanders, Turks and Australians in attending the Commemorative Service on 24 April and then the Dawn Service at Anzac Cove on 25 April.
I know my Aunty loves her job in the Air force and is always ready to serve her country and perform whatever tasks are asked of her. I am very proud of my Aunty as is the rest of our family.

ANZAC DAY

Room 1 have been learning about ANZAC day. We have been looking on the internet for lots of research. We read Fredrick Dill's diary and learned about Simpson & his donkey. We worked so hard that Miss Rack thought we deserved a treat so we got some ANZAC cookies! They were so yum!

Room 1's Statistics Investigation

Room 1 is doing a statistics Investigation.We had to think of a question with a good reason to ask, e.g: " What is your favourite pet??" and go around the classes and ask them. It was hard to find a reason because we couldn't really think of a reason for our question.We had about 6 options and they had two vote for one of them. Then we collected the data and put it into a bar chart. We came up with 3 statements about the data. We went onto numbers on the laptops and put it into a tally.Then that onto a bar chart. We dragged the bar chart with all the data onto comic life. We put on our 3 statements and our reason and then printed it off and we are going to display them in our class-room.We are very proud of what we have achieved!!!

Buddy Reading

Last week Room 1 and Room 4 got together to do some buddy reading. Room 4 bought their reading books with them and we found a place to sit in the pod. Our little buddies did some reading to us first. Then we went to their classroom and chose a picture book to read to them. They found the books really interesting. We were excited to work with a buddy from Room 4 because we haven't worked with them very much this year. Our buddies tried so hard to work out words they didn't know. Our buddies really looked up to us and listened carefully when we were trying to help them. It was challenging getting our buddies to sound out some words correctly especially when they really didn't know the word. Next time we think we might bring one of our own books and read to them to show our good reading strategies. We did some thinking about our own thinking while were buddy reading and thought about what questions I might ask next to make sure they know what the story was about.
