Today we had a brothers and sisters day like they do in India. The boys made gifts for the girls and the girls gave bracelets to the boys. It was fun.

Story Writing in Room 2

In Room 2 we are writing recounts. A recount is a story about something we have done (we can remember a recount)! Here are some of our stories.

Last Saturday we went to the speedway. We watched the teams race. Nelson Tigers versed the Glen Eagles. The Glen Eagles won and the Nelson Tigers lost. After the teams raced it was the sidecars. We saw a sidecar crash. It was a really bad crash. I will tell you about it. The red one's passenger bumped into the orange driver and then the orange driver spun around like this... 0 ...and smashed the orange passenger. He died because the sidecar smashed the orange passenger.

On Saturday Mum rang Chrissy and we met at Chrissy's house. Then we had a little play. Then we went to Rabbit Island. First we went to the beach. Then we had lunch. After lunch we went for a walk through the bushes.

On Saturday I went to a party. It was William's birthday. He got a sticky spider and two cakes. It was a chocolate cake and an orange cake. I tried the chocolate cake. It was yummy.

Didn't Room 2 do well?

And now here is our challenge to you...

Here is a story Mia wrote in her free writing time. She did not get to finish it. Can you think of a good finish for her narrative?

Once upon a time there was a family of bunnies, a father, a mother and a baby. One day the mother and the baby went for a walk to the shop to get some berries when out from the bushes jumped a big boot that nearly stood on them.

Welcome back, Cookie!

Cookie has been away in Room 2 for a long time and has now come home to Room 1. We are all so excited to have him back. When it is our turn to have Cookie, we get to sit in the special Cookie chair and help Mrs Prout with special teacher jobs. At the end of the day we can't wait to find out who's house he is going to next. Here he is enjoying a weekend sleepover at Jayden's house.
