Museum Trip

Yesterday our class went to the the Amazing Rotorua Museum. We got to see the new Don Stafford Wing, it was outstanding!
We learnt about some of the Myths and Legends from the Te Arawa Region. My favourite legend was Hinemoa and Tutanekai because we got to touch a replica of Tutanekai's flute.

Another highlight was seeing Mrs Edwards as Miss New Zealand and we got to see her gown, trophy and crown! She is so beautiful and a wonderful person!!

While we were at the Museum we saw the movie about the Rotorua region and volcanic activity that surrounds it. When the chairs started to shake it was really fun, some of us got a fright!

We had an awesome time at the Museum and I think that you should all go check out the new Don Staffford Wing and Museum.

Production

In Space 17 we are learning our production songs and are beginning to learn our dance! We still need some more exciting dance moves for our song, so if you know any fun and easy to learn dance moves we would love to know them so we can trial them! Thank you to Kerry who is already helping with our dance!

Spring Time

As the blossoms bloomed in the once bare dead trees the soft baa of the lambs echoed out of the blossoms.

The swish of the wind silently filled the big sheep farm and the sway of the trees creaked on the farm.

The little creek trickled with crystal clear water as the ducks slowly paddled down the extravagant creek.

I sat at the window waiting for my baby kitten to rise from a mysterious hole in the earth. I looked down into the hole. "Meow!" The kitten was half way up my back. "How did that happen?" I thought.

It was a typical spring day.

Spring

Golden rays of sun gleamed in the gentle breeze. The clouds were different shapes and sizes as they stood in the blue sky. The grass was cut and laid out like a bed. Everything was amazing.

Me and my cat Tilly were staring at the trees that were starting to blossom and the animals who were jumping wired fences.

The birds chirped sweet melodies as the swooped down for their prey but the cat smashed them with her sharp fangs. The cows started trotting to a huge shed ready to be milked.

We strolled around the place once more until we were greeted by the warm heaters inside our small cottage.

Iv'e got to say, it was the best part of spring I had ever seen!

Spring Time

The crisp morning air soon broke into a gentle breeze that drifted along past the fields as new born lambs frolicked over the long luscious green grass.

Cute birds sit hidden away high in the dark vivid leaves singing their sweetest melodies behind all the fluffy white clouds that look as if they'd been bleached.

A sun as vibrant as fluro colours hid behind them waiting to break free.

Spring is a wonderful place. It is a time when animals can enjoy themselves and feel free in the wind that runs through their newborn fur.

Spring

Yay Spring is finally here! We wrote some amazing spring setting descriptions. We tried to describe what we see, feel and hear in spring time. We hope you like our spring descriptions.
