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.

The Rock Warriors

Our finished product! We hope you like it!

The Rock Warriors

At the beginning of this Term our class was lucky enough to be involved with the Rotorua Public Libraries ‘Big Big Big Picture Book’. This is a big fabric picture book of stories from Rotorua with each page reflecting a different Rotorua story. This book then tours around the Rotorua sharing our stories. This opportunity was open to only 10 schools in the Rotorua Region, so we were very fortunate to be able to be a part of this book. Our class had to make a page for the book on our chosen legend: The Rock Warriors.

Every child in our class worked on creating this page and the final page is a reflection of their hard work.

Thank you to Stacey Hanlen and Jill Cameron who helped to make this possible!! Space 17 thinks you are awesome and are very grateful!

We hope you like our final page! We are currently finishing our own copy for the school library and it will be up there soon!!

Student of the Day!

Well done to Ivan for being a Cool Caring Kawaha Kid!! Ivan worked very hard to day and was an excellent role model for the rest of the class!! Keep up the good work Ivan!!

Snow Adventure

I peered out the glass window and the dark misty clouds started to cover the glistening sun. Then it started. Tiny delicate drops of snowflakes danced in the freezing wind. A soft white flurry of snow flakes wildly drifted in the air.

We all shot for the door and ran towards the fluffy blizzard. It was like a magical wonderland. We all stood in the freezing cold collecting snow on our jerseys. Everyone tried to catch the snowflakes in their mouths.

This was one of the best times during school. But next time I hope it is much thicker.

Snow Stories

After we played in the snow we wrote some exciting snow recounts. We tried to use lots of description so our readers could imagine they were there. We hope you like our snow stories.

Snow

This week we got a real treat, it snowed in Rotorua!! During maths time we had a big snow fall, so the whole school went outside and had some fun in the snow!!
