Colour Red

Red is my favourite colour.

Red is shiny like a beautiful ruby.

Red is on the Samoan flag.

Red is also the colour of our blood.

These are some of the reasons why my favourite colour is red.

Writing Competition

League in Libraries

Ever wanted to be the author of your own book? Well, now is your chance!

During week 9 the children in Room 18 will work with their learning buddies to write their very own book. There is just one catch, it needs to include the 'Vodafone Warriors'.

Don't know much about the Vodafone Warriors or you want to learn more about them?

This is a link to the Vodafone Warriors website where you can do some background research. This might help you and your learning buddy to come up with some ideas that you might use in your story

Link: Official NRL site of the Vodafone Warriors

This is a link to all the players and their individual profiles. Here you may choose one of the players as your main character or you might even choose a few players to appear in your story.

What could your book be about? Here are just a few ideas to get you started...

*Heroes

*Warriors as children

*Warriors family tales

*The unknown Warrior

*Game Day

*Warriors at the Library

*Warriors in the Neighbourhood

*The Warriors Rescue

*The big day out

*Warriors adventure

Remember:

-Your final story needs to be written or typed but does not need to be presented as a book

-One overall winning story from all the entries will be published in to a book

-8 winning classes will get the chance to win the Vodafone Warriors

Get cracking and good luck!

Miss Maika

Tuesday 10 March 2014

Miss Maika comes into Room 18 and takes a group of reliable people outside on the deck. The reason why Miss Maika comes into Room 18 is because she helps the students with reading, writing or maths. For example she helps children to become faster at their basic facts by getting them to practice. Miss Maika is a helpful teacher.

Today we were with Miss Maika. The things we did with Miss Maika were learning our division and multiplication. It was so much fun working with her because she is cool and funny but at the same time she helps us to grow and learn. The reason why Miss Maika is funny is because she always makes fun in anything we do. Miss Maika is nice and kind to us every time she comes to help. Thank-you Miss Maika for teaching us our division and our multiplication and all the other stuff you help us with too.

Red

Red smells like fresh roses

Red taste like yummy apples

Red feels like a volcano erupting

Red looks like heart-shaped chocolate

Red sounds like a heart beat
