Week 10 - Sea News...

Riley - When Riley went to Australia he got a toy shark. He saw one that was white and one that was black. His favourite was the black one because it had big teeth! Riley’s favourite show was the dolphin show. The dolphin made a big splash and wet some of the audience.

Millie – Millie brought in a book to show us. The book has special flaps you can open to find the creatures hiding behind. Millie also has a Magic School Bus book that is about sharks. It is full of facts like… “Sharks can hear a sound from miles away. They can smell a tiny drop of blood and even hear a fish’s heart beating.”

Mikaela – Mikaela brought in lots of toy fish! They are different colours, but look similar. We think they are Regal Blue Tang fish like Dory from Finding Nemo. Mikaela also has a starfish that her Mum made when she was younger. Mikaela’s Grandma made her a small, yellow and purple fish cushion as well!

Charlotte – Charlotte brought in a book called The Choosing Day. The mother dresses up in a wedding dress. The little girl dresses up in some dress ups. Charlotte is going to dress up like the girl in the story for our book parade. She is not sure where she got the book from but it is one of her favourite books.

Cameron – On Saturday Cameron went to the All Blacks versus Wales game. He got an All Blacks flag and book while he was there. The book tells you all about the All Blacks and Welsh teams. Cameron showed us the page with all the All Black players and their jersey numbers.

Erin – Erin has brought in two Scottish stuffed toys. One is a man in a kilt and the other is the Loch Ness Monster. They both have plaid on because that is what Scottish people wear. The Loch Ness Monster also has bagpipes and plays a tune.

Beckham – “Last Saturday I went to Milford Sound with my Uncle. On the way my Uncle took funny photos of me, there is one with a fish. There was a lot of snow on the way. I saw a waterfall with a rainbow!”

Paige – Paige made a cookbook at after school care. Paige’s favourite recipe is the ice cream one! The book is filled with dinner and dessert ideas! The recipes are from different magazines.

Jacob S – “Last Saturday I had a sleep over at my cousin’s house. We played on the X box. He has a secret password to get all the cars in the game. He let me play but I kept crashing! Sometimes I would crash into other cars and sometimes into walls!”

BOOK WEEK

Week 10 starting 21st of June is Book Week.
Room 9's theme is sea creatures.
I would like the children's news for this week to have something to do with sea creatures or the sea. This could be facts, books, a movie they've watched or a trip they have taken to the sea.

Thank you!
