The Laughing Policeman

Sometimes it is fun just to have a good laugh! We are studying people that help us in our community. We had a chat with three wonderful police officers. We chose to put this song on the Blog to show a funny policeman, but we know their job is really quite serious. I am sure this will make you smile ...

Poem of the week



Our poem this week is called Snake's Skin. Atalia did a super job illustrating the poem. Great work, Atalia


Snake’s Skin

Snake said …
“I don’t feel right!
This skin I’m in is far too tight!
This skin I’m in, it doesn’t fit.
I’ll think I’ll wriggle
Out of it!”

Snake said …
“If you don’t mind,
This skin I’m in I’ll leave behind.
This skin I’m in, it doesn’t fit.”
And so he wriggled out of it!

Police Officers visit Room 12

Room 12 is investigating the people that help us in our community. To help us "Get" the information, we wanted to talk to the people in our community. The police came to visit us to tell us all about how they help to keep us safe. We are so lucky that they are also parents in our class. We asked many questions. We saw many of the tools that the police use.(We even put the hand cuffs on!) We sat in the police car and heard the siren and then spoke on the loud speaker. Our next learning step is to "Sort" the information. We learnt so much. Thank you for visiting our school!

Fruit Kebabs




Yesterday Room 12 made kebabs. They were delicious. We had nutritious smooth bananas and I ate the dried apricots and crunchy apples. It was healthy. There was also juicy pineapple. We had a very sharp stick. When I went outside, I ate my fruity kebab. When I tasted it, it was delicious and nutritious. - Remy

Poem of the week

This week the class chose Jed's poem. He really thought hard about how he should illustrate his poem. Great job, Jed.



We also thought that Jayden's poem was beautifully illustrated.





Topsy - Turvy Land

The people walk upon their heads,
The sea is made of sand,
The children go to school by night,
In Topsy - Turvy Land.

The front door step is at the back,
You’re walking when you stand,
You wear your hat upon your feet,
In Topsy - Turvy Land.

And buses on the sea you’ll meet,
While pleasure boats are planned
To travel up and down the streets
of Topsy - Turvy Land.

You pay for what you never get,
I think it must be grand,
For when you go you’re coming back,
In Topsy - Turvy Land.
