Hungry Caterpillar's Bridges

On Monday the Hungry Caterpillar's reading group read an article called "Spaghetti Connection".

This article was all about a group of kids who had to make bridges out of dried spaghetti, blu-tack and two blocks of wood for the BP Technology Challenge.

Their bridge had to support the weight of two wood blocks. Check out their bridges! (And thank you to Sally for helping!)

Exciting News for Jess and Room 9

Yesterday I checked my email and discovered I had a VERY exciting email that I must share with you!

Kia ora Rachel, 

Thank you for entering your students' work into the Scholastic Reviews Competition. Your student Jess P has won her age section (age 5-7) of the competition, and I will be sending out her pack of books early next week. 

I will also be putting this review online, and will let you know when this is put up. 

Kind regards, 

Sarah Forster
Education Manager

Well done Jess!! We are very proud of you!

Here is Jess's winning book review:
Book Review: "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" by Jeff Kinney.

I think this is a very good book. It is about two boys, Greg and Rowley, they are best friends.

Greg is mischievous, sneaky and cheeky. Every day Greg’s Dad makes him go outside to do sport. But, Greg would just go to Rowley’s.

Rowley is sensible, kind and also silly. He has funny ideas. He is at an intermediate school but knows nothing more than a 7 year old. Rowley has a Dad that won’t let him play anything that is violent.

This book is about how they break up and make up.

How there is a piece of cheese on the court and nobody will go near it.

I feel happy about reviewing this book; it is a very cool book.

Dr Seuss's Reader's Theatre

The Dr Seuss's have been working on reading with expression. Have a listen to their reader's theatre called "The Ant and the Grasshopper".

Leave a comment letting them know what you liked about it. You could also give them any tips that might have made their reading even better.

Georgia's Venn Diagram

Check out Georgia G's Venn Diagram she did as part of her novel study.

This venn diagram is comparing the two main characters from the novel she read called "Time Stops No Mouse" by Michael Hoeye.

This novel is in our school library if you want to check it out! You could ask Georgia G what it is about the next time you see her!
