The Gingerbread Man
LZ18 have enjoyed reading the story of The Gingerbread Man this week in class. We read the magic story book on TES iboard (see link below) and then we explored the related activities on the website too. We made our own moving gingerbread man and then we thought of our own endings to the story. Have a read - they are quiet imaginative!
Our Alternative Endings:
When the fox and the gingerbread man got to the other side of the river, the gingerbread man jumped off the fox's nose up into the air. He ran away and he met an alligator. He jumped on the alligator's head and then up and away. Then the gingerbread man made friends with the alligator and they both made friends with a puppy as well.
by Hannah, Jessie and Andre
When the gingerbread man got to the river he found a rocket ship. He flew up to the moon in his rocket ship and then back down to land on the grass on the other side of the river. He ran away and waved goodbye to the old lady and the cow and the pig.
by AJ, Hiro and Kevin
When the gingerbread man was running away from the old lady, the cow and the pig, he met a fox in the forest. The fox tried to eat him up but the gingerbread man kept on running away. He was too fast and he ran all the way to the shop. He ate lots of yummy things but the shopkeeper ate him up!
by Navhil, Ffion and Jennifer
When the gingerbread man got to the river he did a big jump all the way over the river. He met a fox who tried to eat him but he ran away as fast as he could. When he was running he met a T-Rex who stepped on him and then ate him up in one gulp!
by Kanav, Tanya, Stephen
The gingerbread man jumped over the river and ran all the way back to the house and locked the door.
by Irene
The gingerbread man jumped so high over the river he went up over the sun. Then he landed on the ground and he ran away to his house.
by Bowen
The gingerbread man took a boat along the river a long way away from the fox. We never saw the gingerbread man again.

The day a truck come to visit!
Today we were lucky enough to be visited by a really cool racing truck! We all got the chance to climb on board and sit in the drivers seat. It was really fun!

Whenua Studio Music
We love going to visit Mrs Boggs' classroom on Friday mornings. We get to sing songs, play games and play instruments. We are learning to listen and follow rhythms as we play along to different songs and to play loud, quietly, slowly and fast. Sometimes (if we are really good) we get to play musical statues at the end. We have to dance around while Mrs Boggs plays music on her keyboard and then when the music stops we have to freeze standing on one leg and with our arms folded! It is very tricky!

Harmeet's Teddy Bear
LZ18 have enjoyed reading this online big book this week. We tried to remember all of the different parts of the story and to put the pictures in order to make a story board. We have been writing our own sentences to match the pictures which we will put together to make a class book.

Autumn Leaves
This afternoon LZ18 enjoyed visiting the Art Room with our buddy class LZ11. We looked at some photographs of trees in autumn as well as some leaves collected from around our school grounds. We all chose a leaf to draw and looked closely at the colours and the shape of the leaf. It was interesting to see the different colours and patterns in the leaves.

Just Keep Trying
LZ16 have been reading the story 'Just Keep Trying'. It was about a boy who was learning lots of new things. At first he found them really hard and he wanted to give up but once he kept trying and trying he could do them! We wrote sentences and drew pictures to show things that we have learned to do.

Machines are everywhere!
In LZ18 we have been talking about machines that we see and use in our everyday lives. We made a list of machines that we already know and we each made a poster about a machine. We used google to search for pictures of the machines and then drew our own pictures. We talked and wrote about how each of the machines can help us. We hope you like them!
Please click on each poster to enlarge it and to read our sentences.
Machines are things that help us.
We can find machines in the kitchen, on a farm, on the grass or at school.
Some machines we know are:
a rocket,
a computer,
a motorbike,
a train,
a helicopter,
