Girls rock two at the zoo

this is my homework from the holidays. We had to do the autumn math and reading challenge.

Haiku

In writing we have been learning how to describe so we wrote a haiku. We had to write a haiku about autumn.

Swimming Lessons

At Awahono School. we did swimming lessons with the instructors. My teacher was Angus but now it is the holiday so we did these slides  about what we learned at swimming.

Hunting and Fishing Compettion

In Room 5 we have written about  Hunting and Fishing. I went to the Competition. It was really fun so we got to write this piece of writing.  We have been learning to  describe. We had to write in vivid words.

Ambling to the Hunting and Fishing Competition I spot slippery and slimy black eels wriggling in a bin of water on the ground.  I ask the people that are weighing the eels if I can pick the black eel up to put it into the bin to be with the other eels for company. I have to put my hand over the eels mouth so it doesn’t bite me. As I pick an eel up it goes to bite me so I quickly put my hand over its mouth. Then I slowly put it in to the bin with the others and watch it slither around.They are really big and slippery. When  I have enough looking at the deer I go back to the eels. There are more than before. I see a big big eel so I run away because it is so big. An hour later I see some people looking at the eels so I go over and show them my eel. To get a better look at the eel I pick it up. The people are scared and jump.

Swimming

At Awahono School. We did Midland Line swimming and this is my piece of writing.

Swimming Splash! I dive into the clear blue water and start

fast.  I swing my arms and my kick my legs as fast as I can. As I turn my head to
breathe the water comes in my mouth and  I spit the salty water out and keep
going. My heart is pumping and I start to get tired but I don’t give up. People
are cheering us on. I try not to crash into the colourful lane ropes. Looking
 through my clear goggles I can see the water getting shallower and shallower.
Achsh! my feet hit the bottom as I reach the edge of the pool and I hit my
head
against the pool. That really hurt! I am proud of myself because I came first
place.
I am really happy when the people clap and I feel like I have been at a race
track
and the people cheer me on. Haylee Haylee Haylee! You are the best.

When I am finished I sit down to watch the swimming  and I see my friends.
I cheer them on and one of them win. Now it is finished and so I go to the class
and wait for my friends to came back. Maybe next time I will win.

Cycling

In room 5 we have been learning to write a description about cycling. The police came to Awahono School, and told room 5 how to keep our bike safe.

Cycling

Zigzagging around the orange cones I try not to fall.  I try not to pedal too fast because I don’t want to crash into the person in front, but if I go too slowly I start to wobble.  It makes me nervous, but I can do it! Holding one handlebar

tightly, I glance over my right shoulder, then I signal right,  I put my other hand back on the handlebar and turn. I wait in the line. Finally I am going after this person, now I need to get my bike ready to go and I’m off.  I try not to fall, as I

make a hand signal. I have to get ready to turn really well. Ah, no, crash! I fall and I am making a traffic jam.  I have got to get up so people can go again. Half an hour until  lunch time and I’m really happy and a bit tired but I think I can survive. I am really proud that I did well.

What is Rock?

In room 5 my reading group has been reading  a book about rock. We have been learning  to find words about the topic. This is my list  of words about rock.
