Creative Kidd-li-winks

We have been learning how to make pom poms. To make a pom pom we have needed to show lots of determination. We looked in Pinterest http://www.pinterest.com/ for some ideas and inspiration. Pinterest is a place where you can find lots of ideas to make and create. 

We planned what we wanted to create and began creating. Sometimes our plans worked perfectly and sometimes we needed to make changes to our plans because things didn't work out as expected. 

The Kidd-li-winks have shown so much creativity and have problem- solved when ideas haven't worked. Look at some of the amazing creations.

I enjoyed the raft because I nearly fell off the raft.Something that challenged me most was the archery because the arrows wobbled like jelly. I learnt that new things are hard but if you show determination it wont be hard like when I didn't want to do the Burma Trail but I had to show determination and in the end I liked it.

Water Slide

The water slide was a real favourite at camp. It was sooo  much fun even the teachers couldn't resist giving it a go. Well done to all children who went out of their comfort zone to go down the water slide. Ahhhhhhhhh!
The children got more and more confident and went flying through the air like Superman and crashing into the rugby pads...sometimes bowling over the parents. We all loved it lots. Can you see the horror and excitement in our faces all at the same time?
Can you spot the only crash on the water slide? Who was it?

Dress Ups

We used the dress ups to create a character. Room 8 was buzzing with laughter and creativity.





We used the writing skills we have been practising this year to write a character description or a story with the character we created from the dress ups.

I am a poor lady in a blue dress. I have a brown bag with nothing and no money in the bag very very nothing at all. I had skin colour and green old shoes. I walked down the street. I wanted to shop to shop to shop but I didn't have enough money to buyu food to eat the food. I was starving all the way home. Along the way I saw Wonder Woman I was thinking she can bring me food. She flew away and brought some food back for me to eat.

There is a very talented girl from Ecwescher High School named Rarity! She has white skin and beautiful twisty purple hair. The thing Rarity loves to do the most is making dresses for her friends . She knows a little talking dragon dog loves her. Rarity has her own dog called Lee. Sometimes Rarity steals her sisters name Sweetie Belle. Rarity steals her jewellery. Rarity's eyes are as blue as the sea and with her make up on she looks like a princess! Rarity's house is pink, purple, blue and really light green same with inside. BUT one day Princess Cleslesta came to see Rarity she could not believe her eyes because she was such a big fan. She did what she wanted make her dresses. Would you like a dress from Rarity?

One day I saw an evil grandmother lurking down the shadowy street. Suddenly she flicked around and saw me. Her face was a bears face and her snout was two inches poking out. Suddenly she kicked down the door of the bank so I called her Kungfu Grandma. Se had a scarlet shawl that disguised her bear fur. Her dress came all the way down to her toes. She even kept standing on her dress ans stumbling over. 
Blasting out of where the door once stood wit her sacks filled with hundred dollar notes she jumped in a two meter high pram shaped car. It had pink cushioning on the seats. Suddenly an over sized machine gun popped up out of the roof of the pram. "FIRE" shrieked the old woman as she sped out of sight. Speeding down the road came the cops. Who called the cops? Whatever, we now have to get the money back into the bank today ad the wild chase began.

Author Max

On a strange foggy night a strange person came in the moonlight. He had a night black mask like the face of a bat. A cape that would stretch into jet black bat wings. Some pitch black batamarangs and raven black grappling hooks. He didn't like Superman. His nick name was the Black Knight. His worst enemy is the Joker. When he moves he moves like the wind. He saves people from bad guys. It was Batman. Batman was nearly going to say hi to me until a giant robot that looked like the Joker and the Joker came. He tried to shoot the robot in the tummy so the kryptonite would explode. The kryptonite was the thing that powered the robot machine. When the robot machine nearly shot Batman the batmarangs hit the kryptonite and KABOOM BLAST BOOM went the robot machine. Hip hip hooray. Hip hip hooray.

Walking down the alley I saw an old grandma looking poor. She had a long red dress and an old modernified bandanna. She had sparkly bluey greeny eyes and Harry Potter type glasses that were half way down her nose. The red dress was as red as a rose and went down to her toes. Her bandanna was covered with orange and blue fish. The lady's skin was as white as snow. There were ruffles at the end of her dress she was tripping on while she was walking down the path. The lady's shoes are as black as the night sky when the moon is in its pit. Her eyes were shining in the glimpse of the moon. The grandma's teeth were as yellow as cheese. She reached inside a window and grabbed a bunch of asparagus and a fish, she must have been hungry, then carried on walking. A man was sitting down beside a fish and chip shop. The old lady went up to the man and slapped him on the face really hard. She pulled out a wallet from the mans pocket and walked down the path some more. The old lady was slowing down she stopped at an old deserted college with broken windows and ripped curtains two blocks down from the shop. The old lady started running so I call her THE AMAZING GRANDMA.

Acrostic Poems

igers are a very endangered species of cats!
I n some circuses just one mistake THWACK!!!
rinding the tigers bones is so cruel! 
E xtinct is the end of tigers if we don't stop.
are.
S ave the tigers!
!


Jerome wrote this poem about tigers and it inspired us all to write our own poems. It is a special kind of poem where each letter of the word begins each sentence.
It is called an acrostic poem.


We had to change our sentences around to make the beginning letters fit our poem.

Preparing for a party


We worked together with Room 14 to practise our learning about capacity. We had many different stations we needed to complete to get ready for a party.
Toby working with Keagan to find out
how many blocks the fruit weighs
Zane thinking...thinking...thinking
We measured in blocks and grams


Each person at the party will use 10mLs of sauce.
How much sauce will you need?
Isabella measuring 10mLs into
each container
Henrietta working out how much
sauce she will need for a party
15x10=150 mLs



Faith measuring sand for her
sand and water cake
Caitlyn counting in 1/2 litres
1/2, 1, 1 1/2, 2, 2 1/2, 3

Adding 2L of sand to the sand and water cake

Reading the ingredients for the fruit punch

Bowen and Lealou checking their punch will
fit in the jug
George calculating his ingredients to make icing
Bailey and Cloe adding 1/2 teaspoon of each ingredient.
1 teaspoon =5mLs so 1/2 teaspoon =2 1/2 mLs


Thomas and Gwen making a basket to hold
between 60 and 80 lollies

Our human scale
Even though the icing sugar is smaller than the cornflakes it weighs more

Feeling what about 25 kgs feels like
Lots of mess, fun and learning. 

Some reflections from Room 8

I learnt how to count in 1/2s.
I learnt that weight is measured in grams and that 1,000 grams makes a kilogram.
I learnt that a teaspoon has 5 mLs and how to cut 5 in half.
I learnt 1 litre has 1,000mLs and I counted in thousands.
I learnt to count in 30s because I can count in 3s.
I got better at estimating how many mLs will fit in containers
