Pink Shirt Day

Today was Pink Shirt day for Bullying awareness. These children planned and made their own video about bullying. Well done boys and their camera person Leonor.

Volcanoes erupting

We are learning to write about a moment in time. 

We used our language experience of an erupting volcano and you tube videos to help us write about the moment a volcano erupts.

Here are some examples with pictures we created using our volcano vocabulary.

“Bang, crash, bang!” The rocky volcano erupted! Red and orange lava ran as fast as rockets taking off. The ashes and sparks flew around like butterflies. The smoke shot out of the red hot volcano. The lava killed all the plants that were in its pathway. The volcano lava did not stop.

By Ronan

Kaboom pssss!! The giant brown volcano erupted. It started with grey steam like a raincloud. Red sticky ash jumped all over the volcano. Round rocks spat everywhere. The ash was orange and sticky like gross slugs.

By Leonor

Ssssshhhhh! Boom!!! Bang!!! The volcano hissed as it was booming out flaming rocks. It is dripping out lava. Bubbling on the the inside. The lava was burning like fire. It was so noisy. Sssshhhh boom!!! Boom!!! Bang!!! Bang!!! Smack!!! Smack!!!.The volcano is hard like rocks. The grey smoke was foggy, grey and strong and smelled dusty it blended in with the ash.  

By Denym

Fire rocks rolling down the side of the enormous volcano. Lava killing all the plants in its way as it makes its way through the villages garden. Enormous piles of smoke cover the wonderful view of the extinct volcano.

By AnneLise

Bang! The volcano is erupting. It was throwing hot rocks. The lava slowly slipped down the volcano. Lots of smoke came out. The lava was very very hot.

By Kyle

Boom! Loud red lava spitting out of the steaming volcano. Big hot rocks rumbling down the brown fiery volcano. Kaboom! The hot steaming rocks tumbling down faster and faster. The hot steaming lava destroying the city and town. The smoky volcano erupting.

By Kelly.

Wow! Everyone screamed when the volcano erupted and it was like red blood coming out of the volcano, I couldn't believe that was real. The teachers were tipping water and vinegar in. The volcano exploded lava out of the sand. The real volcano spat hot red rocks and black ash out of the big hole in the top.

Writing

We have been learning to add hooks to our writing to capture our readers attention. 

Here are some published pieces we have written. The children are still learning to use the netbooks for typing stories so they are short and sweet. 

Swimming by Isaac

“Yum,” the swimming pool water is super warm.  I float on my back and close my eyes. I swim around and around to make a whirlpool. “It's fun!” I shout. The colour of the pool is blue like the sea. I put my goggles on and put my head under the water and I see leaves on the bottom of the pool. When we hop in the whirlpooI I went on my bodyboard, round and round went my cousin and I.                 

    

Chromebook Assembly by Brooke

“Gotta open this!’’ said Room One as the countdown began. “1 2 3, go!” Said Mrs Craig. “My chromebook!” They yelled with excitement. I couldn’t believe it was a such a mess with boxes and rubbish everywhere, it was fun.

Chromebooks by Sam

“Sam,” whispered Mrs Clarke, “can you be my photographer?’’ “Yes’’ I screamed in my head.

“I can’t wait!” I heard lots of people say in excitement. “Now we are going to do the countdown,” said Mrs Craig. “10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,” screamed the school. The year 4’s ripped their chromebook box open. “WOW!” screamed everyone. Then the teachers gave out the cases.  Finally the bell rang. “Hooray!” I shouted. “It’s lunch.”

Unboxing Day by Leonor

Yay! It’s unboxing day 10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,0! RIP! RIP! went the boxes as the Year 4’s opened their boxes to reveal the shiny black chromebooks. I didn't like too much of the noise after the countdown so I blocked my ears  just in case it was too bad. The bell rang RING! RING! I’m starving, “is it over?” but it wasn’t. All the excitement made me smile, I was happy.

Chromebooks by Ronan

WOW! I heard screeching! Lots of screeching! I could not stand it my eyes were going to pop out. There was so much EXCITEMENT! I did not know there would be this much EXCITEMENT. How long did this screaming go for I said to my self. I was so EXCITED for the countdown. It was even louder then me. It was as loud as a lion. Then it was morning tea. Then the bell went after the bell went we got our netbooks. I had a black netbook. We learnt how to use them.
