Beautiful Beanies!

Some people knitted some beanies for Bradford School kids.  Some of them are stripey, some of them are plain and some of them are spotty too.

Miss Little called us up in groups and we got to choose our beanies.

They are really hot in summer and they will be really hot in spring but in winter they will be cosy and warm on our heads.

We think that our beanies are cute and we are very lucky to have some lovely people knitting us some beanies.

Kiwiana in Room 3

Lucky Room 3 have been learning all about 'Kiwiana' with Miss Macdonald.  They are looking at New Zealand icons and what makes them special.

The children have used Kidpix to draw one of the icons and then they wrote down some ideas they had about why those icons are special to New Zealand.

Our Natty Narratives!!

We are writing up a storm in Room 3!  We looked at some pictures  and used our imaginations to think up what might have happened and what might happen next!  We planned our stories, making sure there was a beginning, middle and end.

Here are some of our masterpeices!

 The firemen saved the day.

 Once upon a time there lived an old lady and a cat in a house.

One night the old lady was in bed.  The candle fell over because the cat jumped up on the duchess and the candle fell over. 

The candle fell on the ground and that’s how the fire started. 

The old lady ran to the phone.  The old lady rang the fire people.  The fire people came to help the old lady.

The cat died because it was near the candle.  They squirted water on the house and got her out.

The old lady was very sad.

Dress Up day for Book Week

This week was Bradford School's Book Week.  We had lots of fun events happening.

Everyday a special person read to the whole school.  On Tuesday night we had fish and chip night.  On thursday afternoon we invited our Grandparents in to share some stories with us and today we had a dress up day.  You could dress up as your favourite book character.  

We really enjoyed Book Week.  Gill sold lots of books which means she can buy some more for our library!

Have a look at our dress ups!  Can you see Miss Macdonald dressing up as Little Red Riding Hood?

A lovely Princess Leah!

Look who Princess Leah found!  Her Father!

Pirate songs!

We were on assembly last week and we decided to sing our Pirate Song.  We made hats out of newspaper and sang very well!

Do you think we look fierce?

Stories

We have been learning about narrative writing.

These stories have characters (who), settings (where), a beginning, a middle (where a problem might happen) and and end (where the problem gets fixed).

We used Kidpix to create some pictures to help us plan out our stories.  Here are a few of them.

The mermaid and the witch.

By Lynley

The mermaid and the witch are under the sea.

The witch made a spell of 7 bits of fire so she can get the treasure.

The wizard comes and does a spell to get the treasure back from the witch.

There were some people walking on the bridge.

They didn't see that there was a snake behind them.

A knight came to save them.  He killed the snake.  The people said thank you to the knight.

The Alien.

The alien was on his planet up in space.

The fireball was going to explode the alien.
