Hoppy Easter

Today we had an Easter Egg hunt with our Room 16 little buddies. See if you can spot the eggs.

Maths champions

We have been busy solving some pretty tricky problems this week.

Visitors from Japan

On Thursday we had 2 Japanese Students come to visit. We liked the way they wrote their names in Japanese and we asked them what it was like to go to school in Japan. They were surprised when we put up our strongest challengers to beat them in a basic facts maths champions game and we finished the day by playing scatter ball with them outside.

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!)
