Term 3 Week 4

We learnt some T-Ball skills at the Bay of Islands Softball Junior League Roadshow. We teamed up with Room 7 on a Junior School rotation where we participated in batting drills, throwing drills  and base running.

Term 3 Week 3

We have been learning how to 'hook' our reader by using sound or dialogue to start our writing. On Thursday we wrote the first sound we heard when we woke up in the morning. 

Here are some examples (with the author's name in brackets).
Brmmm, brmmm.  (Che)
"Wake up", said Mum.  (Troy)
Silence.  (Davalamayne)
Mmmmmm.  (Jas)
"Waah. Nana, I want you!"  (Sky)
Chrchrchrchr.  (Chryzler)
"Woof. Woof."  (Catherine)

Hopefully these intriguing story openers have made you want to read more of our stories.
