Week 8 - Melbourne, Learning

On Tuesday on Week 8 at 3:30pm Miss G and Mrs Tui left to go to Melbourne, Australia. 

While Miss G was in Melbourne, Australia she had an awesome time. She went there with 21 other teachers. The reason why Miss G and Mrs Tui went there was to see how to make our school a modern learning environment. She saw huge classrooms there and really cool rooms and stuff. In Melbourne they don't call them classrooms they called them Learning Neighborhoods. She visited 8 schools, the names of the schools she saw were Broadmeadows, Silverton Primary, Berwick Chase, Danderong High, Hume High, Meadows Primary and Broadmeadow Valley Primary. On her last day at Melbourne she went to the rugby with some other teachers, she said that it was about 1 degree. The time she flew back to New Zealand was 1:30am. 

She also said that she woke up to plenty of sunshine and had heaps of food. When she came back she bought us some tiny Koala toys. 

While she was away Room 3 had lots of fun as well but not as much as Miss G. My favorite thing that I did was make my cookie construction with my partner.

Meet Fuzzy the Teddy Bear!

I am going to write a description about a Teddy Bear called Fuzzy. He is a wonderful toy.

Fuzzy looks brown as chocolate. He looks soft as a blanket. It looks small like a mouse and he looks very handsome like a prince. Fuzzy is adorable as a puppy. Also he has a lovely bowtie.

He feels like a cuddly little baby and furry like a Rabbit. He also feels like a chubby kid and his big  black round nose feels like a clowns big round red nose.

Where it is seen or found is in a bedroom. It could be seen in the shop. Or it could also be displayed at the shopping center through a window.

Fuzzy can be cuddled and hugged. He needs to be cared for and loved like a real little Teddy Bear.

What makes Fuzzy special is that there is no other Teddy Bear like Fuzzy. He is perfect just the way he is. It doesn't matter if he is as brown as chocolate or chubby as a kid. It matters who he is. I wouldn’t have him any other way or in any other form.

Our Cookie Construction Protector

On Tuesday afternoon Room 3 found a partner to work with. We had to find a partner because we were going to make a  cookie construction protector, to protect the cookie from the cookie monster. The equipment we used was, a sheet of A3 paper, cellatape,  scissors, a 2 metre long string and straws. But first we had to plan how we were going to protect the cookie. My partner was Seuati. My experience was awesome making a construction protector, I had loads of fun.
