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.

Secret Codes

Yesterday Room 1 had fun making secret codes .  You may have seen these codes in newspapers or on business cards. They are called quick response codes (QR Codes) and can hold text, web addresses, maps etc.  We made codes for facts about Japan and our codes talk. We used this site http://qrvoice.net/ to make our codes.
To read the codes you need to have a QR reader on your smart phone or ipad. These are free from the App Store or Google Play.  You are also able to create your own codes using those apps. So if you have a phone download the app and have a go at reading our book.  If not come into class and you can use our ipad to scan the codes and see the artwork we made to match.

Here is some of the artwork with the codes attached

Wonderful Writing

We are working so hard in Room 1 at writing time!  The children in room 1 are becoming such fantastic writers.  We have been working on fullstops and capital letters and stretching our words out to hear beginning, middle and end sounds!!  Today Neesha wrote a fantastic story about her dog.  Madelaine wrote a great story about going to the rugby.  Lucas wrote about his trip to the BMX park.  Well done!!

My dog is funny because when we come back from school he does the loop de loop. He jumps up in the air and turns around. When we go to the front door, he runs to the back gate and we laugh. Sometimes we throw sticks for him. His name is Digger. Sometimes he goes crazy and digs up Mummy's garden!

I went to the BMX park. I had fun.
By Lucas

Tomorrow night I am going to watch the Magpies play at McLean Park.
They are playing against Auckland. I am getting a goodie bag. I am excited. I am going with my Mum and Dad.

Our Greedy Cat Assembly Item Video

When I put my mask on, Nathan laughed.

It was fun!   - Neesha

Today we did a Greedy Cat dance and some kids got stage fright, but I didn’t get stage fright. I was Katie and I snuggled into Mrs McFadyen. - Ruby
