The case of the missing pants. By Charlotte

A few days ago my mum was going out to a breakfast meeting. She was going to wear her black pants but...
her black pants were missing so I said, 'this looks like a job for detective Charlotte.' So I got my magnifying glass and said, "lets go!".  I searched and searched all over the house but I could not find the pants. But that didn't stop me from looking for them. Then I finally needed a rest.                                                                              

Today we were learning to use an app on our i pads called Popplet. It is great for making mind maps about our learning. We are going to use it in our questioning and predicting reading work next week.

Rugby

I was playing rugby on Saturday, I nearly scored but I didn't. I tried  my best but the other team was bigger and   fatter. They should have been in Grade 9.

Visiting Aunty Shannon

On Saturday night Shannon came to visit. And since we missed her so much we went to see her at Gran's house . When we got there we rushed out of the car and slammed the car door! Then we ran to  her bedroom. We were about to wake her up but she was already awake! So we scared her instead. Roar! We gave Shannon a huge fright. When she got dressed she had breakfast . Mmm bacon! Then we played Temple of Triva on Channel 50. So the next thing we did was watch Gnomeo and Juliet. That movie was cool ! Last of all George asked to stay the night, that was hard because it was a school day!

Today we started our mentoring reading programme. The team 5 kids read a book to us and we read our reading book to them. We enjoyed reading with the big kids. We look forward to next Thursday.

Today we planted some plants in the garden down the end of the school field. There were some gaps that needed to be filled up. We are going to keep checking our plants to make sure they are growing. Sometimes we will go and water them. We will make sure children keep off the garden. We loved learning about how plants can make our environment a much better place.

Team 3 Gymnastics Team 2012

What a fabulous bunch of gymnasts you were today. I was very proud of how you looked and how you performed. Well done team you certainly demonstrated Parkvale PRIDE today.

      Beautiful stretching Maia!

   The judges loved your smiles.

Making Fruit kebabs

 Today we made fruit kebabs as part of our learning on writing procedures. We had to follow instructions so that our kebabs turned out correctly. Mrs Ramsey helped us with this. Thank you Mrs Ramsey.

 We did some statistics on the our favourite ingredient. We found out that marshmallows were the most popular ingredient and grapes were the least favourite.The teachers liked pineapple best.

We are very good at writing procedures now. Our next challenge is to write our speeches. We will be doing this next week. Then we take them home to practise. The following week we start presenting our speeches to the class. That will be exciting.

Planting day!

Today we all planted our plants into a pot. It is now our responsibility to care for our plants. We will water them daily- but not too much. We put them outside our classroom during the day and then bring them in at the end of the day. It is important to care for plants because they give us oxygen.

Janine's Word Art
