Author's Chair

William has been using exclamation marks in his writing. Well done William you worked very hard today at Writing to Self time and was very focused.  You look very proud sitting on the author's chair sharing your writing to your friends.

Comparing Houses

On our Friday Surprise Day we have been looking at a variety of houses and what makes them similiar and what makes them different.  Our buddy and I made a house out of playdough.  We didn't peek at our buddies house while we created them but when we finished we compared our houses. 

"Our houses are different. Williams house is flat and my house isn't. Mine has a pathway that goes to the front door and to the pool. The waterfalls on my house starts from the roof. William's house has walls so does mine . William's has a bathtub and so does mine.  That is the same."

Playing With The Play dough

"This is my monster aliens. The big one is Ian. I made it with playdough , eyes and sticks."
William had fun using the playdough in a different way than usual.  He persisted when making his monsters and was very proud of his creations.  William asked lots of children to come over to see his monsters.

Hedgehog

Here is my hedgehog! It has lots of eyes and spikes. I like my hedgehog.

My Puppet

Here is a picture of William and his puppet, Earl. Te Kakano made puppets for Friday Surprise Day and our Whakangahau. We had to think about all the parts our puppets would need. We also had to show persistence to make sure the parts stayed on and looked how we planned it. 

"My puppet has a moustache and has three eyeballs and has long hair. He is a monster."
