Swimming

 In room 5 we have been doing  swimming lessons in term 1. This is my slide show about them.

Setting and Character Description

We have been learning to write a setting and character description from a picture.

Windy Snowy Ride in the Car

It was a  windy and snowy day. There was snow on the ground and the trees had no leaves on them  because they were all on  the ground. The wind was lifting the leaves as they fell off on to the ground  in little pieces like crumbs of  biscuits. Jack was in the car reading a book. He liked books about dinosaurs. Jack was feeling scared because there was a scary t-rex in the book. He wanted to go and get a new pirate book at the book  shop in town instead.

Room 5 Camp at Waiuta

Dr Dischord

In our class we have been writing a description of Dr Dischord in his wagon and our teacher has been reading us a book called The Phantom Tollbooth.

Dr Dischord

Milo and Tock and the Humbug slowed down the car and there was an old wagon.  Milo and Tock and the Humbug walked up to the old wagon and Milo opened the door. They saw a man and he was making potions and he said my name is Dr Dischord.   Milo said their names are Tock and the Humbug.
Dr Dischord put the potions in bottles and there were different sizes and there were lots of colours like ruby and violet and amber, and then he put them on the shelf.   

Life cycle of a frog

In class we have been learning to write about frogs .

Life Cycle of Frogs

Today I’m going to be talking to you about the Life cycle of  frogs. The  frog  colours are light brown with patches of green on top of the light brown.

The Eggs

The frogs lay the eggs every day and they lay  lots of eggs at different times in the day. The eggs look  slimy and wet. When the frogs have the eggs they are all in a bunch in the pond . The frog eggs will hatch in 25 day spending on the species and water temperature. They will hatch faster if the water is warmer.

Tadpoles

Two or three weeks after the tadpoles are hatched they will eat the jelly that the egg had on it. If you look close to the tadpoles and really concentrate you can see some feathery like gills. By the summer each tadpole has grown first back legs and then front legs, which will be needed for hopping on the ground.   

Frogs

Most of the time frogs live on  land, they go back to water on hot days to hibernate in the  mud during winter and to breed when they are about five years old.
