MYSTERY READER

Today we had a great surprise when Marty's Grandpa Geoff arrived all the way from Wellington! Even Marty didn't know he was coming in as our first Mystery Reader. He read us two funny stories and even dressed up as a character from one the stories. Can you guess who he was??
Thanks Grandpa Geoff. We hope to see you again soon!

We have been learning about how to persuade! Listen to Holly's ideas for children not having to do sport. She has put up a pretty interesting and convincing argument!

More great writing!!

I remember standing in the blowing wind. The wind was like a ghost pushing me. The trees were swaying and the leaves were shaking. Wind was blowing really hard. Our sunshade was waving and swishing more and more each time. Wind was growling at me all the time. The freezing wind made me feel like an icey cold iceblock.

The Big Wind

Enjoy some of our writing on the very windy weather we had today!!
THE BIG WIND
I remember the wind as it chased the leaves throught the trees. I thought that a tree would fall down. Suddenly an enormous leaf landed at my shoes. I was very surprised. Then a little one on my notebook. I laughed. Then a gust of wind blew me back. I had to blink about five times before seeing again. Then the whole class stood up and moved. Then an extraordinary thing happened. I fell over. The wind had done it! Now that is a windy day!!!

I remember watching  the trees swooshing from side to side. It was freezing. It was picking up branches. The wind was snapping branches off the trees. I heard crashing.

I remember standing watching the trees blowing hard.The wind was tipping and breaking branches. Leaves are flying in the air. The wind lifts up leaves. Back down they go. They might blow me away. It feels scary when it blows hard.

Hi there Parents

It is great to be back from Melbourne after my emergency dash to be with my sick daughter a week or so ago. Thankyou all for your kindness and understanding. I am pleased to say Treena is all better.
