Creative Writing:

WALT: We are learning to use descriptive detail in our writing and elaborate on our ideas.

Liv's dangerous pet:

I have a pet dragon. It is a water dragon. Her name is Splash. She spends most of her time underwater and her favourite food is ice blocks. She is very fast and very powerful. She can breath any form of water like ice and snow. She changes colors to light blue and white when she is in the snow and to light blue and purple when she is underwater. 

Kade's dangerous pet:


I have got a pet dragon called Ranger. He will  protect me forever. We will not forget each other because we are special mates. Ranger has wings so he can fly. He takes me to school every day and he will take me home everyday. He breathes fire at everyone who is mean to me. They will  get scorched and also we play hide and go seek together and with my cousins. We get Ranger to cook for us. When we get him to make dinner for us he warms the bath up too. He breathes his fire on the tub to heat it up for us. We have to ask  Ranger to warm up the bath if it gets cold so we don't waste water. He's fun to play with.

 His favorite food is corn and scraps and we get Ranger to eat the old food. When he got older he ate 6000 chickens.

Cassidy's dangerous pet:

My dragon is very sad because someone  was very mean to her friend.she is going to play in the sand.she was taking the sand to the ladder , it needs sand.My dragon is  making a sandcastle on the roof of the house.The sandcastle has shells on it the shells are green and pink. My dragon put the sandpit on the roof to trick Mr Masters.My dragon is going to the castle  because she is happy.

Cricket Festival Day

WALT: We are learning how to play cricket, using the correct techniques.

We were very fortunate to participate in Cricket sessions with Kea from Northland Cricket, last year. Unfortunately we did not get the opportunity to have our Cricket Festival Day last year, so we had our own Cricket Festival Day today. The kids enjoyed the few minutes we got to enjoy playing cricket until it started to rain. We all ran for cover and decided to plan another cricket day in the near future.
