Day Dreams

For writing this week we wrote poems about day dreaming.

 

 

 

 

 

Ms. Whitwell thinks I'm reading

 But No...

I'm grooming my champion horse, Bullet,

now he's galloping down the race track at full speed

and....and.....

"Libby, are you done yet?"

"No Ms. Whitwell." I murmur.

 

Ms. Whitwell thinks I'm reading,

But No...

I'm realizing that I've won lotto, going to the horse stables

and buying a new horse, perfect in every way.

 

Ms.  Whitwell thinks I'm writing,

But No... 

I'm thinking about Christmas, how big my presents will be

and what they will be...

I could get a bike or a..

."Libby, hurry up!" 

 



Did you know?

Did you know that the world's largest mammal is a Blue Whale?
It's heart is the size of a mini car.
They weigh about 170 Tons.
Their veins are so big you can crawl through them!
Blue whales eat tonnes of krill each day.

Did you know?

Did you know that the world's smallest giraffe
is only 5 FEET tall!?
Yep, you heard it, only five feet tall!

The Mountain Trip

On Monday the 16th of September Room 2 went up the Mt Ruapehu to ski for the day. We got in our cars at 7.30 in the morning. When we got there we went down the ski lift to Happy Valley to get our helmets, boots, skis and ski poles. Once we were set we had our lesson. I was bad when I started but after the lesson I was pretty good but there was one problem.... every time I got off the ski lift I always tripped over the person beside me! I liked the trip up the mountain and I really want to go again!

Cross Country

  On Tuesday, 3rd September,Fordell School and pre-school did Cross country. We all sat down and waited for our race to start. The order went: Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, pre-school,   Year 6 and then the Year 7 and 8 ran together. I am a Year 6 so it was a little while before my race. Just before my race the Year 6s had to warm up then we stood at the starting line. On Your Marks, Get Set...............GO!!!! I was off! I jogged fast at the start so I could save my energy for the end.
Although I didn't come first second or third I still had fun!

Did You Know?

Did you know that the world's biggest tree is a Red Wood?
It can live up to 2000 years old.
The tallest known Red Wood stood 379.1 feet.
It grows higher than London's Big Ben clock tower.
20 children holding hands can go around it.
I chose this because I have one at my house but it is only 100 years old.

The NZ Fruit Bat

If you have lived in New Zealand for a long time you would have probably seen a NZ Fruit Bat. These 3 facts are probably the most interesting facts you have ever heard about a NZ Fruit Bat.
Firstly, they use their teeth to crush food like bananas, figs, grapes, nectar and much more. Their children drink their mothers milk.
Secondly, of course NZ Fruit Bats live in NZ but really they live together in caves and they hang upside down on the ceiling of their cave.
Lastly, this is how they fly, they have skin on their wings which helps them fly and they spread their wings out and flap.
Those are three good reasons why I like NZ Fruit Bats!
