Garden to table Term 2

This term we have been doing something called garden to table.
Your class is split into groups, some do the garden and some do the kitchen.
I like how you can cook and taste lots of different foods.
Here is some photos of us doing garden to table.

Getwise Maths

About two weeks ago a man came in for some thing called Asb getwise. He was here to talk about saving money. The next day we wrote things he talk about.
Here is mine.

Mr Golf

This week and last week a man called Mr Golf came to our school to teach us how to play Golf.

I liked learning how to play Golf.

I am good at hitting the ball far.

I need to work on remembering how hard I hit the ball.

Animal town story

This week we have used another picture as motivation for our writing. We had a story starter and
then we had to carry on the story.

What I like about my writing is being creative.

I need to improve on spelling and to have spaces after a full stop.

Here is my writing about Animal Town.

I am the greatest sheriff. I am sheriff Lion. Only once a year someone breaks the law, only once a year!
So I usually lie in the sun for a year, but this year everything changed. When a gang of animals came.
They call themselves poor humans. They have machines called cameras they were trying to blind us.
And when they were finished they just walked away.

I needed a group of animals, the strongest on earth, to fight those puny little humans. They were Mr
Stripes the zebra, the plan animal. Mr Bear, the great scientist. Mr and Mrs Meerkat, the speedy
tricksters. Mr Dotty, the giraffe adventurer and he is Mr Stripes brother. And lastly me, Sheriff Lion.
Together we are the Animal Force 5.

I sent Mr and Mrs Meerkat to spy on the humans. When they came back they had bad news.
They reported that if you are captured you will get burned and eaten. A few days later they came
back to animal town with more machines called shotguns. They sent their first troops. But they didn’t
know that we set up booby traps. The first troop fell for a booby trap. The first trap had something to do
with sleeping darts. While the troop set off the booby trap Mr and Mrs MeerKat were kidnapping the
leader quietly. Once all the troops were knocked out, the leader woke up we threw him into the cage.

He told us every deepest darkest secret he knew, but we did not let him go because he might tell
everyone our hiding spot. So we learnt how to build force fields and lots of things that involves
technology. So from this day forward no human can come into Animal Town.      

Hot air balloon story

This week we have used a picture as motivation for our writing. We had a story starter and then we had to carry on the story. What I like about my writing is it makes sense.

I need to improve on making sure my spelling is correct. We also made a google draw showing the things that we would take with us in on the balloon`

Hot air balloon story
When I look down there was a good view of the fields. When it was night time we did Rock, Paper, Scissors to decide who is the one to stay up for night shift. Luckily I won because they both did paper and I did scissors so they both have to stay up for night shift. But the thing about those two they always somehow crash into seagulls. But luckily we crash landed close to the finish line. That’s why we're coming first. We were so close to the finish line. I was so excited I fainted. When I woke up we did it, we won the race.
