Vivienne's Recount

Here was the best recount written about Breakfast in Room 13.
Vivienne called it; Milo Rices Breakfast

How exciting! I knew what we were writing about, but when I saw the milo I had to think again. My friend said "What are we writing about?" I said to my friend "lets figure it out together".

This morning at 9am we had writing with Miss Walters. Miss Walters always thinks of crazy things to write about. She explained to us what silly thing we would be doing today. It was really silly and crazy.

First Miss Walters told us what she did in the weekend. She was thinking hard. Miss Walters said "I was sitting on my bed thinking, what are we going to write about on Tuesday? It could be anything but we should write about breakfast, but not a normal breakfast. A crazy breakfast like Rices with Milo".

Next she said she would be our waitress. She gave all of us a bowl and some milo and milk to sitr together in our bowl. Then the Rices came. When everyone was finished she explained to all of us that we had to smell it, listen to it and the best bit was tasting it.
We finally got to eat it all. When I took my first bite it tasted scrumptious. It sounded like popcorn popping, like pop! pop! pop!

After that we had to wash up. First we rinsed our bowls and then washed it in the washing bucket which was also known as the vomit bucket last week.

Later we started to write about what happened to us. It was really cool. I asked my friend "What other crazy ideas does she have next?"

I felt surprised about what we were going to be writing about. I also felt sorry for the people who didn't have any breakfast but they were happy because they had a delcious breakfast today.

Sentences about the Manaiakalani Film Festival

My favourite part was when some schools were dancing like Michael Jackson.
Alexandria

The part I liked the best was when Room fives movie from Pt England School came on because they were doing all the Michael Jackson moves (even some of the teachers)
Potaua

This morning everyone was excited about the film festival. So many classes from our school had made movies for it.
Te Rina

The most memorable part about this morning was all of the children cheering when each film was about to start.

Today was a day to remember because we had a film festival and it only happens once a year.

Potaua, Dillon, Tui and Dante came up with a response during writing time and recorded themselves on iMovie. Check out their movie to see how amazing we really are!


This is just a sample of what we do. You really need to visit all the blogs from each Pt England Class to see how amazing we all are and while your there why don't you leave us a comment :)

Writing in Room 13

Check out this video and see if you can guess what we were doing. Leave us a comment if you think you know! The best recount about this experience will be published in 3 days time.

Topic Update

So what have we been learning about so far this term?

Well as you know we have been learning about Diwali and we have also learnt a little about Easter and Thanksgiving. At the moment we have been learning about Japanese Boys day and Japanese Girls day. Not to mention it will be Christmas before we know it! Christmas in New Zealand is a lovely time of the year, as it is summer time so there are always people having fun at the beach and it is BBQ season.

What are some of your favourite family traditions to do when celebrating a special occasion?

Our Rangoli Art

Since we were learning about Diwali, we decided to do some rangoli art. If your not quite sure what Diwali is check our 'Diwali' movie.

First we choose a rangoli pattern to copy, it had to be symmetrical. Then once we had copied it onto our piece of cardboard and coloured it in using bright wax crayons.
Next we used the coloured dye of our choice to cover all the cardboard.
For the last step Miss Walters mixed black indian ink with PVA glue in a bottle so we could go around our pattern.

Watch our movie to see the end product!
