Rabbit visit by Moala
Recount ~ Rabbit Visit
By Moala ~ Year 4
Yvonne came to Room 12 last week Friday. She brought her rabbit to Room 12.
She got the rabbit out of the box. She put it in the middle of the circle.
Yvonne gave the rabbit to Eruera to feed it. It lives in a house called a hutch. The baby rabbits are called kittens. It hops to run. Yvonne talked to us and she asked questions. The rabbit goes to toilet in a tray. It felt soft when we touched it. It has red eyes from a distance.
Everybody had a photo holding the rabbit. The rabbit is three months old. Kereama thought it was going to bite him. I was happy when I felt it. Its name is Cinnamon.

It was marvellous when Yvonne came to Room 12 with her rabbit.

Did You Ever Look at . . .
by Room 12 2007
Did you ever look at the rainbow?
What did you see?
I saw beautiful colours stretching its arms around the world.
Sometimes, if I look very closely, I can see the reflection of my lovely smile.
Did you ever look at the moon at night?
What did you see?
I saw a giant banana shining brightly.
Sometimes, if you look very closely, you will think it is smiling down at you.
Did you ever look at the wet green grass?
What did you see?
I saw a slippery soft mat under my feet.
Sometimes, if you look very closely, you will see the teardrops from the sky.
Adapted from Writing Model below
Did You Ever Look at . . . By Trista
Did you ever look at the stars in the sky?
What did you see?
I saw the Big Dipper, and the Little Dipper.
Sometimes, if I look very closely, I see the shape of my face.
Did you ever look at the sky on an afternoon?
What did you see?
I saw children in a train and a very big castle.
Sometimes, if you look very closely, you may see your beautiful face.
Did you ever look in the mirror?
What did you see?
I saw my beautiful skin, blond hair, and hazel eyes.
Sometimes, if you look very closely, you will know that you are truly beautiful, too!

My day at school - Ariana
My day at school
On Monday I did not go to Massey pool, I stayed at school with Britelle, Stacy and Adrian. While they were gone we were in Room 8 doing work. We had to work till morning tea then till lunch. My hand was very sore. Me and Britelle were very tired because we got some more work to do. We did not bring our permission slips back. There were only a little bit of seniors there.
It was fun in Room 8.

Massey Pools
On Monday 5th March the senior school children went to Massey Pools.
We walked to the pools. When we got there we all had a rest. The year 4’s was first. I didn’t want to swim. I watched them.

Massey Pools
On Monday 5th March the senior school children went to Massey Pools for relays. We all had to walk to the pools. Some of us in Room 12 had to stay behind.
When we got there we took our shoes off and got changed into our swimmers. Then I got into the year 4 race. I came first! Mrs. Raman was very excited and went wild! Then I came second in the finals. I didn’t do the flutter boards but my friend Logan came second in that one too. Next we did the class relays and our class came last.
Then we got changed out of our swimmers and walked back to school.

Hey!
Hey, Wind!
Your breath blows through the windows
touches my face
and tickles my body –
I like that!
Hey, Stars!
Your eyes sparkle in the night
makes me feel drowsy
as I lay down to sleep –
I like that!
Hey, Rainbow!
Your wide arms stretch across the sky
like a gigantic umbrella
so colourful and beautiful –
I like that!
Hey, World!
Your big bright face
so friendly and caring
makes me smile –
I like that!

Hey!
Hey, Sky!
Your bright blue fingers
pick up my hair,
swing it like a basket –
I like that!
Hey, Sun!
Your dandelion clock hands
warm my bare shoulders,
squint my cheeks into a smile –
I like that!
Hey, Trees!
Your million zillion arms
all waving “Green! Green!”
fill my eyes with sweet leaf music –
I like that!
Hey, Day!
Your wide-open hug
picks me up and squeezes me
till I can’t breathe for laughing –
I like that!

My dream by Jayden
Last night I had a very good dream about me in chocolate land. I had lots of chocolate and I got fat. I was sooo fat I couldn’t walk.
It was really exciting. I also had a chocolate rabbit. Everything was chocolate.
Then I woke up in the middle of the night and realized it was only a dream.

A toy I’ve held on to all these years by Logan
A toy I have held on to is Pickach. I had him since I was one year old and I still have him.
He was my best friend because I always sleep on him. I sleep on him because he is soft and cuddly. He is yellow in colour.
I love my toy.

Helping out around the house by Britelle
If my mum told me to help out around the house I will help her. My mum might tell me to do the dishes. She might tell me to sweep up outside with the outdoor broom. She will clean the sitting room, the bathroom and all the bedrooms.
My mum might clean the hallway, the bookshelf and the fireplace. My mum might dust with a cloth and sweep with an indoor broom. She will do it because she wants a clean house.
Then we’ll look around the house and we’ll be pleased.

Did you Ever?
Did you ever
Play hide and seek
In the dark?
Someone counting
Children hiding
Heart thumping
It’s frightening!

Did you ever
Ride the bumper cars
At Rainbows End?
Hands steering
Feet pressing
Cars crashing
I like it!
By Kereama Rangitaawa
Did you ever
Ride the rollercoaster and fear fall
At the Rainbows End?
Heart beating
Lungs screaming
Heads bumping
I loved it.
