The Creatures in the Classroom.

We have created our own creatures. First we folded some paper and drew a picture using 3 different animal parts. We had to make this our best work. Then we outlined the picture with vivid. After we cut it out we glued it onto a black piece of paper. The next day we wrote a story about our creature. We had to describe what our creature looked like and what it did. Some of us added what it was scared of and where they found it. Once we had reworked our story to add more adjectives and correct sentences, and edited all our mistakes we had to publish our work as neatly as possible. Mrs Craib then laminated our creature and story to put it on the wall. We read our stories to each other with our best acting voices, this means with expression, good pace and wonderful volume. WE HAD A CELEBRATION!

Mathletics

The children of Room 9 are signed up and ready to challenge other people in Math. We are part of the Mathletics competition. Every day we go onto the computers to the website www.mathletics.co.nz to complete our challenges. The challenges are fun. Sometimes they're hard and tricky. After we've finished our challenges we can play live mathletics. We feel really proud when we have achieved a certificate. Some of us have bronze awards already.
