The 26 Story Treehouse

I brought this book because I really like adventures and this book is all about adventures. It's name is 'The 26 storey tree house'. My favourite part is when Captain Wooden Head and his bloodthirsty gang are in a song called 'ten unlucky pirates'. I think it's based on a song called 'Ten Green Bottles. The person who has written this book is called Andy Griffiths. And the person who has illustrated this book is called Terry Denton. My favourite storey on the fabulous treehouse is the anti-gravity chamber. It is in the Whitcoulls top five best books and I would recommend this book for people who like tree houses.

I drew my favourite scene using Kid Pix.

The Faraway Tree By Enid Blyton

I chose this book as my favourite one because I like fairy folk . It all so has a lad er that gos to a  cloud with a land . The faraway tree is in the Enchanted Wood. Joe , Beth , Frannie and Connie go up the Faraway tree to the land of treats for a treat for Connie. But the tree starts to die what can they do? The tree roots are being damaged by some trolls because they are looking for some jewels in the jewels caves. Moon face , Silky and the Saucepan Man and Mr Whatzhisname are my favourite fairy folk characters.

This is the Faraway Tree and the slippery slip. I used Kid Pix. 

Wacky Wednesday by Dr Seuss

I love this book because it's very funny and my dad read it to me when I was very little and it reminds me of those times. It is a "spot the picture book" because each page has something wacky on it. .My favourite picture is a table with a hole in it and a mouse chasing a cat. Pretty funny. My favourite character is the Patrolman.

My favourite scene of the mouse chasing the cat.

Songs have low voices and high voices

Some songs are raps

Sometimes they are fun and sometimes they are sad.

Some songs don’t have any words.

Some songs are in different languages

Some songs can tell stories.

Some songs can repeat and repeat.

Some songs have two songs in it.

Songs can be made into videos.

Piano can be heard in sad songs.

Songs you like sometimes paint pictures in your head.

Happy music

Some songs sound angry like heavy metal music.

Some songs have certain actions that go with it.

Some songs can be made into mimes.

There are old songs.

Songs are for different reasons like for sports and for dance.

Songs can be at parties.

Songs can make you feel good.

Songs can be slow.

Drums are in heavy metal music,

Songs can be made into an album.

Rock’n’roll

Songs can make you cry sometimes.

Grey Lynn High Five

Grey Lynn High Five

We all brainstormed what the Grey Lynn High Five looks like. Mr Barker challenges us to be able to "knock them off," so we knew we had to be ready. We talked in buddy groups to really understand what each finger and thumb means. 

Andrea said we all came up with really good answers. Our next step is to try to make a song or jingle to go with the Grey Lynn High Five.

Check back soon to see how we're going and leave us a comment. We love comments.

MY FIRST CAR WAS RED

This is Weston's first time blogging in Year 3. He spent a long time typing out the sentences himself and only had to fix up one word. He also drew the red car using Kid Pix. Way to persevere Weston!

I liked this book because of the colour red and the car.

Squiggy Balloons

Yesterday I made a squiggy balloon with some balloons and some flour . You can use any colour balloon you like. 

This is how to make a squiggy balloon. 

First you get a balloon and then you get some flour . Next you pour the flour into the balloon and then you tie the top tight. 
Then it is done.

I made them because they are fun to play with and they feel like they are filled with goo.

The Giant Jam Sandwich

I got to share my favourite book with the class today. It is called The Giant Jam Sandwich by John Vernon Lord and Janet Burroway.

My favourite part was when they trap the wasps. There were four million wasps that flew into town, so they made a giant sandwich that took the whole oven. 

"They made it on the hill with fifty cookers in an old brick mill . The loaf was left to cool and then the people watched while six strong men took a great big saw and sliced right through everybody clapped and they cut slice two.

A truck drew up and they spread it out with a flap and a flutter spoons and spades ! slap and slam ! . and there were 6 flying machines in the air but now there was nothing to do but wait wasps have the bait drop ! The bread slam it's gone slap it goes but only three escaped they danced and played that day it not a wasps town."
