The Little Egyptians in Room 1!

The Three Billy Goats Gruff

We have read the story of the Three Billys Gruff and we have watched it on our Interactive whiteboard too.  We wrote some descriptions of our own trolls.   We hope you like them.

My troll has spikes on his armor to stop the Billy Goats.  He lives under the bridge.  His spikes are very hot.  He is smelly.  He doesn’t let anyone cross his bridge because he isn’t a friendly troll. By Ben

My troll has a round chubby body.  He has a round head.  My troll has pointy spikes on his back.  My troll has long arms. My troll has short legs.

By Maddie

My troll has a round body like a soccer ball.   He has two short legs.  He has spikes on his tummy.  He has an angry face because he is grumpy.  He has long arms. 

By Anas

My Troll has prickles over his body so the Billy Goats Gruff will get scared of him. The big billy goats gruff butt the mean troll on the bottom. 

By Taylah

My troll is stinky.  He doesn’t live in a house.  He is really stinky.  He doesn’t have a shower.  He has long fur on this tummy. 

By Erin

My troll has grey hair and spikes on his head.  He is angry and he doesn’t let people go over his bridge.  My troll can butt goats and they can butt the troll back.

Underarm Throw with Mrs Tapine

Mrs Tapine from Sports Hawkes Bay has been coming to teach us how to do an underarm throw.  She will be teaching us lots of other skills too.  We have learnt lots of different games like Battleships and Bombers, Underarm Golf, and Paper Scissors Rock.



Here are some stories we wrote:

Mrs Tapine taught Room 1 underarm throw.  She taught us how to do Battleships and Bombers.
How we play Battleships and Bombers:
2 people -  One person lies down and one person stands up.
The person who is up holds a soft ball and throws the ball at the person who is lying down on the ground to try to hit them. - Ben

Mrs Tapine taught us how to play paper, scissors , rock. - Anas

Mrs Tapine is teaching us to play paper, scissors rock.  We have to skip around the pole
We had to throw the bean bag into the hoop. - Nirvana

Mrs Tapine is teaching us how to play paper, scissors, rock and underarm throw.  We have to put the bean bag on top of our hand and point our feet to our partner, and then throw. - Jessica

Mrs Tapine is helping us to do underarm throw.  She is helping us to play Battleships and Bombers .
Battleships and Bombers is a game and it is fun.  In the game you have to throw a sock ball at your partner. - Louisa

Shapes

We made these shape pictures using triangles, circles, squares, oblongs and hexagons.
Can you count how many sides, corners and edges the shapes have?  How many different shapes are in each picture?
