Room 3 Writing - A Day in the Life

In the morning I wake up and bathe in the sun to heat myself up.  Since I am a predator I go hunting - most creatures don’t stand a chance.  As I slither along the ground I spot an alligator child.  It spots me hanging off a branch and then I spit venom at its eyes to kill it.  Once I eat the alligator child it takes a long time to digest it.  After I digest it I spot a female at the same time as another creature of my kind and then … the battle begins!  We charge in to each other.  The opponent constricts me but I sink my fangs in to it and send venom into its veins and win.

After me and the female breed we lay eggs and then a hungry tiger comes along.  The female hides in the den.  Me and the tiger have a wrestle.  I’m able to dodge everything the tiger throws at me then I take a turn by spitting venom at it.  And then I spot a hawk closing in on me but I spit venom at it and it lands directly in front of me.

I heard a crack as I slithered to the den.  The eggs must be hatching, I thought.  When I got to the next part of the den I saw lots of babies crowding me.  Then I feed them the dead alligator child leftovers I killed.  The babies fight over the alligator so I cut it in half with my fangs.

One minute later hunters arrive in a truck.  I hide the den even better than before.  I hear them say, “Let’s go hunt reptiles!”  Then I spit venom at the truck. As they get out the truck explodes!  The hunters have chain guns.  They shoot rapidly, then I spit venom at all of them...

THE END – or is it? … (Dun! Dun! Dun!)

Tuesday Concert

On Tuesday the Music Bus Instructors put on a concert for us at lunchtime. They really rocked the playground and we clapped and cheered and even danced a little. It was a great concert.

Room 3 & 16 Buddies

Our buddy class is Room 16 and my buddy is Britta.  When we first met we found our buddy and we asked what is their favourite pizza topping.  Britta liked pepperoni.  We marked down our buddies' ideas on a tally chart so we can make a bar graph of the data. - Laila

Welcome to Room 3, 2016!

We are off to a great start in Room 3.  The first week back was a hot one, and on Wednesday we had to move outside under a tree to do our work.  In maths we are learning about statistics, so we have been collecting data and making pictographs and bar graphs.  Using a Party theme, we have so far collected data on what our favourite shaped balloons are and what flavour cake we would like for our birthdays.  Our data showed that the most popular cake for kids in Room 3 is vanilla (including sponge) cake and the favourite of the adults is carrot cake.  Our favourite shaped balloon is a heart.
