Halloween stories!!

Here are our some of our spooky Halloween stories!!

Lola 

One dark and stormy night at haunted Hotel Transylvania, it was Dracula's birthday so he had a huge party. Dracula's favourite part was the magic trick "Pick a card." Then the magician pulled out his heart and a card fell down. "Is this your card?" said the magician. "Yes" said the monster. After they sat in the spa pool and relaxed (except for Dracula who was jumping and splashing). The sun was almost up so they went to bed and if they smell a human they would pounce out of bed and eat them. 

Vicky: 

Once upon a time, in a tall giant temple that everyone forgot about, lived a lot of invisible ghosts and creepy mummies. The king of the temple commanded "GO TO THE CITY AND STEAL SOME STUFF!".

Kingston:

Once upon a time there was a haunted cinema. There were lots of dead people and it was very dark. Once a little boy went with a terrible doll. He went to the toilet but he didn't know it was haunted then he heard a BOO! Then he had a heart attack. Then when he woke up he saw his doll with blood on it so he named it Chicky. When he was at home he heard another boo but the sound was more scary than last time. Then he had a board called the Oeja board. He did it but then he heard a scream! The he checked everywhere but not the bath room so he did and he saw his brother in the tub. 

Ian: 

Long long ago there was a witch who lived in a creepy and dark temple. One day she decided to make a potion, when it was finished a bit of green smoke zoomed out of the pot! Mean while not far away from the temple there was a forest. In the forest lived a prince in a beautiful castle. Next day the witch put her new potion in a pumpkin and locked it in her secret room. Then the potion went green and fairy came out. It flew away out of the window. 

Diwali

Today we were lucky enough to have Siddhesh share his Diwali diva with us! He shared all about his celebrations and what each item on the plate means. It was great to have him share his experiences.

Halloween!!!

Today some of us wore our Halloween costumes! We had great fun thinking of all the words that relate to Halloween to help us write our narratives! We will share our narrative stories tomorrow!

Our New Shade

Today we were able to test out our new shade at lunch time. The students had great fun playing underneath the sail in the shade.  It is great to have this outside our class to have some where to sit and eat out of the sun!

Living or Non-binding

Today in our groups as to decide if an object was living or Non-living. As a class we decided there are 4 questions we can ask to decide if it is a living object. 

1. Does it eat?
2. Does it grow?
3. Does it drink?
4. Does it die?

We then answered Mr McGregor's question of why a seed grows and pebbles do not. Our answers were:

1. Pebbles to not have roots to eat and drink from

2. Pebbles are not a living thing

3. Pebbles do not die

Discovery time!!

This week in discovery time, with our buddy class we discovered how many colours we could make from Blue, red, yellow, black and white. They created fantastic colours and were even teaching each other how to make different colours. We all had a fantastic time and we can't wait for discovery time next week!

Scrabble!

In reading today Hortons had great fun in learning how to play Scrabble. They created some fantastic words and they were beginning to see how you can extend previous words to make a new word.

Retelling the story!

Here the fantastic Hortons are acting out their story called The Lonely Giant. They were excellent at using different voices to show characters and using their face to show different emotions.

Fractions

We were learning fractions of a shape by cutting our paper into equal pieces. Each child had one piece of paper to represent our whole. We then had to cut this in half to share with our neighbor. We then had to cut into quarters so everyone at our table could have a piece.
