Eli's poem - Creepy Crawlies

Creepy crawlies come out at night Spiders and ants give me a fright

Spectacular Writing!!

Room 3 children are just crazy about writing!

Here are some of what our clever writers can create...

Every night before I go to bed I turn my night-light on and read my book. I also go under the covers and give my teddy, which is a bunny, a hug. But one night my teddy was not there.
I looked in my whole room but it was NOT there. There was only one more place to look. I need to look in the woods and I wasn't afraid at all. Until...there was a bear. But the bear was just afraid of dark so I shared my light with him . He came with me and we were not scared until...we ran into a very big hairy monster and he had something furry in his hand. It was my bunny. I said to him "what are you doing with my bunny?" I asked.
"I'm just lonely," he said.
"Well, come home with me" I said and they did. That's just my story that I'm reading.

From Sarah

When I was eating breakfast I heard a huge roar. It was coming from Vulture Mountain. I told my mother. "Can we go to Vulture Mountain," I said.
"No."
"Now?"
"No," she said.
So I stomped out the door and ran into the woods. It was cold and dark. Then I came out of the woods and started climbing the mountain. Just then a Vulture swooped down and threw me in to jail. Then I saw a wee hole to get out of prison. And there at the top of the mountain was a great big dragon.

This hero has a cape on his back and he has a belt. He saves people.
He is going to save people from a train because the driver is dead.
By Harry.

I made up a wizard who wasn't very smart and or light. He's got terrible ideas and he's from the dark side.
He's got stripy socks with the most unusual shaped head, and a magic wand on his left hand.
By Eli.

There once was a boy. His dad said "get me my tool box." So he went to get it. When he opened it up, something grabbed him. It was an octopus, it had big purple tenticles that were really funny looking.
His dad called out "hurry up son, I'm waiting," and the boy never got out again.
By Campbell.

Eli's Art Experience

Wnen I was using the indian ink I pressed too hard and I smudged it by accident
but when I got on with it I started getting better and better and better
at it and once I was finished I had to paint to on it with the
same stuff except it was faster to do but when you get to the top you
have to be really careful because it is really sharp at the top and
there was a flower that we had to do which was even harder.

Winter at Koputaroa!

Modules week 3 - Cooking

"We are cooking with Mrs Swanson. We made jam and cake and rice bubble cake and chocolate crackles," said Alec, Eli and Tayla.

"We mixed the icing sugar and the cocoa together and then we put hot water in", remarked Ruben.

Ashley said "We spreaded icing on top of the cake and then we sprinkled sprinkles on top."

"Mrs Robinson cut the finished cake in half, then cut the 2 halves in half, then cut those into 3," said Emma.

Making the jam...

"We had to mush up the strawberries. We add this natural stuff and sugar," said Callum.

Tayla said that the natural stuff is jam setting mix.

"Mrs Swanson poured the jam into the jars," said Chiara.

"After Mrs Swanson had poured the strawberry jam into the glass containers, they were really hot," commented Haylee.
