Top Team Day-

Lake MacGregor- Fishing Trip

On Thursday we went to Lake MacGregor. First we went to Lake Tekapo and we went trout fishing. We had to wait for 10 minutes before getting some nibbles. My tip of my rod went down and I knew it was a huge fish.Then I started to whine in slowly my line. The fish put up a fight and jump up into the air. I finally landed the fish and it was a rainbow trout just over 2 pounds.

Jacob.H- Cobb Cottage_ Blenhiem

On Friday I went to Blenhiem and saw a place called “ Cob Cottage”. The cottage was like the one we study at school. It is a dusty old house that is smaller than my house. I took photographs of the cottage. There was a old school classroom that was attach to the cottage and the teacher’s name was on the blackboard. The funniest part was the toilet which was only a hole and a pile of dirt next to the hole.

Creative Writing- Gallipoli

Room 2 have been researching the Anzacs at Gallapoli.

We focused especially on the first Day at Gallapoli listening to veterans' own accounts and using a 3D resource called “ Gallapoli the First Day”.

This resource we used as starting point for creative writing exercise to image if we were there.

I remember when we landed at Gallipoli. I will never forget what happened.When we got to shore I smelt gun power. As I was half way to shore my mate got injured. I did not know what to do. It was a hard decision. First I helped my mate. Then  I got to cover with him....

I remember when we landed at Gallipoli. I will never forget when I jumped out of the boat. I was swimming to the shore. I smelt gun power and heard gun shots. 


I saw some people get shot next to me and some others that were badly injured. I was climbing up the hill and I fell down the steep hill and I got injured...

I remember when we landed at Gallipoli.  I will never forget when we jumped into the black water. The   problem  was when we jumped off the boat that we had heavy bags on our back....

 I remember when we landed at Gallipoli . I will never forget when my friend got shot in the boat and fell into the freezing water. I smelt smoke. When we got to the shore we got out of the boat but we couldn’t see the enemy.....

Writing- What is going on in Room 2

Room 2 have used youtube clips to motivate our writing. Below is a snippet of a video we watch, where someone is filming a kea at a zoo. The students' goal was to write a recount as if he/she was the kea writing a story about the events that occur in the movie. Another improvisation was that actually Room 2 was visiting the zoo and filming.

The other day some students came to my home from Burnham School. I am going to tell about what happen and how cheeky I am.

Someone came to stick his finger in my cage. I bit his finger and blood flowed everywhere. The boy was sucking his finger and a goofy teacher came running over. The teacher put a plaster on the boy’s finger.

After everyone walked off I had a well deserved dirt bath.
