Not a Box

We recently read a book called "Not a Box"
We used our imaginations and thought of what the 'box' below could be. The pictures were drawn on a programme called KidPix by the children.

Look at this picture...

Believe it or not, it is not a box...

Look carefully, can you see the 'box' in our podcasts?

This is what Talia, Tahnee, Sanha, Rio and Matthew think it is...

This is what Ofa, Miguel and Maggie think....

Paper Plane Fun!!!

An exciting experience was created to motivate children for writing...
Watch this movie and look at the fun we all had.


Enjoy the cinquain poems we wrote after we made and flew paper planes. It was a fun experience shared by the whole class. We thought of some exciting words we could use in our poems. Listen to the adjectives and similes we brainstormed together as a class.

We are Kings and Queens of all 'Wild Things!'

In the story titled 'Where The Wild Things Are" by Maurice Sendak, Max is king of all the wild things. He looked into their eyes and tamed them by staring at them without blinking.
Well, we are kings and queens of our 'Wild Things'. These pictures were created by blue screening. The children drew their 'Wild Things' using Kidpix on the computer.
