The first thing he put on his washing line was his sock.A red and white sock. When he put the other sock on the sock blew away. The story was about road safety. By Rafferty

The Beach
Yesterday dad and Lily and I went to the beach and we wore our gumboots and coat.We went to the muddy part to catch tiny crabs.I caught two big ones and one middle sized one.We released them in the water.We watched them scurry away and then dig a hole in the sand.Next we went to the sandy part and played pirates and I made a line through the sand.Through a bug grave yard and the broken forest of souls to the enchanted seaweed .Next we dug it up then we looked for a new ship.Then Lily decided she would be a cat.Then we pretended it was daddy pirates birthday.

Nana Rides a Scooter

Mum says Nana’s naughty,

She won’t do what she’s told,

She’s just turned ninety five,

But she doesn’t act that old,

She doesn’t ride a wheel chair,

Cos that just doesn’t suit her,

When she goes down to the town,

She rides a scooter.

Chorus

Nana rides a scooter – look out here she comes!

Her smiling face from ear to ear

She’s showing off her gums.

She may have arthritis – banyans on her heels,

But she’s my groovy Granny – the fastest on two wheels!

On Friday nights she loves to race,

The hoons just up the street,

Toughie dudes with greasy dreads,And wheels instead of feet,

Her scooter isn’t pretty,With just a touch of rust,

But that’s the way she likes it,And she leaves them in her dust!

Chorus

                                                      

Nana wears a medal,

She got it just last week,

Caught a van of robbers, who were faster than the police,

She pulled up to their window and watched them turning pale,

“I’m that naughty Nana who is taking you to jail”

Chorus

welcome Kyle!

welcome Finn

welcome Lachie

Thankyou Tommie and Sophie

MY GRANNY

 My Granny is so groovy,

 My Granny is so cool.

 My Granny loves to duck dive,

 Into our swimming pool. 

 My Granny’s hair is grey,

 She has a great big grin.

 My Granny bikes all over town,

 Doing wheel spins.

 I love my Granny very much,

 I think my heart might burst.

 If Granny could win prizes,

 My Granny should come first!

week 9 Term 3

Br ....sound of the week

Last week of the term


 This week we have been reading the big book called "Davy D's Dog". Davy D has a big big dog and a teeny tiny house. His dog's tail goes flick, flick, flick and breaks things in his house so Davy D builds him a new big big house. During the week the children in Room 16 have been designing their own new dog houses.(Discovery Time)
 They had to draw a diagram of the dog house and they were encouraged to be as creative as they wanted.

Our Spring Walk

the willow hut is growing!

So this week ....slow start! Mrs Graham in for me on Monday and Mrs Dillon in on Tuesday. I will be doing some reading testing on Tuesday ....the last for the term and I expect some regular reading and writing to continue this week with maths.
