Zebra's Lego writing

This week we have collaborated and built wonderful creations with lego which we have then written about.

Neo and Sam - We built a haunted house together It had a skeleton and a guardian. In the trap there was a wizard who was killing a person.
Libby and Tim - We made a trap house. Me and Tim collaborated. We made a dumpster that is a special way to empty the rubbish to get in to it. It was fun and a rubbish dump we made with lego.
Finn and Danika - We made a secret garden. The secret garden can shoot fire. The garden has little pots that spray.
Finn and Hunter - We made a bungy jump. You can jump into the water.
Dom and Bella M - We made a kingdom. It has a trap and a jail and tools.
Tianyou and Alfie - We made a skeleton castle. We made a zoo and our zoo looks cool because we made it.
Dillon and Olivia - Today we made a building shop. It has a car to go with it. We tried our best. We collaborated.
Audrey and Felix - We designed a village with a double layer. It has a river and a bridge and we have a car. It has a really tall mailbox and a person. We designed a space catcher and we worked together. It can shoot bullets and it can fly.
James and Reece - We made a skate park truck and bikes can go on it and scooters can go on it.
Harrison and Fergus - We collaborated and we made a flying car with lego.

Watercolour Madness!

We tried a new medium today - watercolour! We used watercolour paints and watercolour pencils. We also got to spray our art to make it run - check out what the colours do in the timelapse at the end of the video.

Caption This!

We created spring paintings using paint and then we wrote captions. Look at our growth mindsets at writing time.

Busy Builders

We have been collaborating to build our houses. We have been learning to share equipment, make sure everyone takes part and share our ideas. We have also been following a criteria. :)

A Hovering Visitor

We were so lucky to have a visit from a helicopter! Mrs Clarke's husband Shaun is a helicopter pilot and Shelly is a paramedic. They work together to help hurt people in the Wakatipu. It was so exciting to wait for the chopper to land on our school field. We use experiences like this to inspire us in writing time. 

Children's responses:

Olivia: It was noisy. Helicopters start with 'h' Miss Eve. (It's our sound of the day!)

William: It was cool going inside it and I liked the propellers.

Elsie: I thought it was weird that they didn't have a boot in the back of the helicopter because when I saw my first helicopter they had a boot where they put all their stuff. 

Thomas: It has a spinning thing on the back and on the top. On the top it had a lot of things. The rescue helicopter comes when you need it. 

Tim: I liked going through the helicopter. When I went up the steps and when I went down the steps myself.
