Thinking

We are learning about Thinking skills.

Today we learnt about BAR.
That stands for Bigger, adding and replacing.
Bryan told us to use BAR on a nest.  So I added some wings, replaced all the materials with bricks and it is as big as TV.

Thinking Keys

B- Big
A- Add
R - Replace

We are learning thinking keys.  Today we did the BAR thinker key.

I enlarged a nest.  Next I added a water slide.  Finally I replaced mud, twigs, grass and straw to blazing flames.

I once tried wasabi. It was really spicy that I  nearly finished all of my water.I never wanted to eat wasabi ever again.This is true that I really,really,really,really,really,really,really,really hate wasabi.

Persuasive writing by Sasha

Everyone should eat one or more apples a day. 

Firstly apples are healthy because they are full of vitamins.

Secondly throw away that tooth brush and use an apple just kidding  use both they both clean your teeth. 

Thirdly it's good for our environment because it grows in it's own skin so no need for packaging. 

I feel that apples are the most scrumptious fruit in the world.

On Thursday I had my turn at news. I shared the coconut Libby had bought at the supermarket for a smoothie. It didn't have much milk, so we couldn't make a smoothie. Libby drank the milk. So, lets go 9 days into the future... To modern day. The family ate it. Did you know that a coconut is a seed? Well, it is!! I think coconuts make good hats. THE END  :-)

We could not wait to see the show. The show had sports the second game we played was tug-a-war. They were being very funny Tai was falling over and Clair was tripping over.

New classroom by Zephyr

Pop,pop,pop! goes my light blue eyes when I see the awesome new class for the very first time. First I shoot up the stairs like a gold dart. I felt amazed like when I got my very own Mac Book computer!!
Next the ear piercing siren/bell rang and I puffed onto the mat. I feel ready to work. Finally it's play time. I zoom to the stuffed and, big cloak bay. I feel squished like a snail in its home.
All together I feel very, very, very, very, happy because were finally in the new classroom! The End

Dear Micheal,  I'm sorry to hear what happened to you .

You are the coolest boy in the world like a diamond in the sky. You are a champion

You are a hero.I hope you feel better soon !!!!! From Kayne

The New Room 7 By Imogen

Shine, sparkle, gleam ... goes my fantastic blue eyes when I gaze up at the sparkly new Room 7.  I feel precious because it is awesome like a dancing flower.  First I kart-wheeled into the amazing class.  I feel like a gleaming teapot.  Next I twirled around like a hurricane.  I feel like a princess.

The New Room 7 By Sasha

Gleam, Shimmer, Shine... goes my great eyes gazing at the amazing new classroom.

First we moved from the old Room 7, to the library, then room 5, then this class.

Next our glamorous teacher Bryan put our hard work up and drew mustaches on everyone.  I felt funny.

Finally Bryan drew a mustache on himself and got laughed at!  All for the rest of the day!

I felt giggly.
