Lucas has Fun at Action World

Action World

On Wednesday morning Room  0 ,1, 2, 3, and 4,  were going to   Action World.  We were having a long walk. We finally got to Action World

We were having a fun time.I went on the biggest slide, I was sort of scared but I overcame my fears and slid down uncomfortably with hot feet as fast as a cheetah. It felt like I was on fire. Everyone loves  the water slide.

My Pet Brownie

Brownie

By Lucas

Brownie is a 10 month old male labrador. Brownie likes to eat left overs from my plate, he loves chicken and every now and then we will give him a treat of beef and bacon bites.

Brownie loves to run around and play with the soccer ball but sometimes he gets to excited and bites a hole in the ball.

Brownie can shake hands,sit down, roll over and attack on command.

My mum and I have trained Brownie to do all these things.

I got Brownie as my birthday present, he is the best birthday present ever.

Brownie is a really good hunter he catches the rats in the house,and he is a pro guard dog.

I bought Brownie to school for pet day, Dad had to hold Brownie on a lead because there were other dogs. We walked around while the judge was watching.

Brownie won a ribbon.

 Characters in the Play
 Reader is Lucas
Little Red Hen is Arohaina
Duck is Jamie
Dog is Liam
Pig is Mikaila
 We acted a play for young Year 0, 1, 2 and 3 student at our school. We had to organise the actors parts, our costumes, the setting, props and masks for the characters. We learnt how to learn our parts off by heart. We learnt to practice reading with phrasing, fluency and using our voices like the characters. It also helped us practice reading silently to ourselves while the other actors were reading and saying their parts. The audience really loved our play.

Should We Have Art? Lucas's Argument

Should we have Art?

Yes, we should have art.

Art has been created since time began.

Firstly, art makes us complete human beings. We have to do

science, maths, writing as well as art. Art is good for our

health, it makes us use our mind and body.

Secondly, art is communication we can express and share

information and ideas. Art tells stories like Ancient

civilisations like cave men, Aztecs and Romans have shared

the way they lived through art.

Thirdly, if we are good artists we can make heaps of money.

I want to create cartoons, movies and books when I grow up.

To conclude I think art is not a waste of time because its fun

and I love sharing stories through art.

Thank you for listening to my speech.

Treasure Island Maps by Lucas, Jamie and Jade

Today we read "Treasure Island." We enjoyed reading the story. We had fun speaking like pirates when we had to read what the pirates were saying in "pirate voices" using the punctuation marks. We had to make a pirate treasure map and mark the spot where the treasure was hidden with a X.

My First Written Argument "Should we Cook at School" Lucas

Cooking At School

I think we should do cooking at school because it’s fun and the dishes are fun to clean.

Firstly cooking is amazing. I don’t think our school should be the only school to have cooking, all schools should be doing this.

Secondly making food is fun. You chop,cut and wait and do lots and lots of things,you stir, you mash, you crack, you smell and you get to eat it all, at the end.

Finally making your own food is more fun than buying it, and you learn from it too.

To conclude we eat like a family and we are so happy, it’s cool!!!!

I had fun cutting feijoas up to put in the crumble pie that we cooked for lunch and to share with Room Three.

Tiny owl and the Prickly Plant

Today our reading groups were learning to present a play to the class using phrasing, intonation and expression. We can read the text silently when someone else is reading their part in the play.
