The Yet-i Monster: Grow Your Mind in Maths

The Yeti Monster

We are thinking about the Yeti Monster and growing our mind in Maths. We are all Yeti monsters, we say, "we can't do it yet but we will persevere!

Camp

 Wow! What a time. The sun shone, the challenges kept coming - some new ones this year like the super fox and the treetops.

"The campfire was fun apart from all the actions for songs. The treetops was pretty fun because you could hang or walk on the wire." - Thomas
I enjoyed treetops and the bridge of doom because the bridge of doom was challenging and treetops you get to float in the air" - Parker
"I liked the bridge of doom because it was a big challenge and if you didn't get it the first time you got wet and that's how you'd be if you kept trying." - Peter
"I liked the challenges and the shelter building because it was fun and we took turns to build it." - Matilda
"I liked the abseiling: I was scared at the beginning and I persevered through it."

Gabrielle got sick, John got injured, Hamish saved the day (and made the night fun with Sardines), Jude had two days at camp. A camp full of surprises and happy memories. Thanks to Deb, Steve and Steve for your good spirits, caring and playful attitude.

Naughty Pet stories transformed into Poems

We used the stories we created last week to make poems. The challenge was to create 2 stanzas, with four lines each. Have a read!

Fug

I have a guinea pig called Fug yay

He came to destroy me one day AHH!

I thought how could this be possible  

No no no how am I supposed to survive.

But then his army turned to rats

but it was such a big pack you know

Then they all went down to the sewers

Well I thought that was not so bad.

By Flynn

Hammer

My dog is a really naughty dog.

He is a deadly dog he hunts food.

He has black eyes they look like buttons.

His type of dog is a yorkie dog

One night i left the door open

He snuck out that night to hunt for meat

The next day i saw a pile of food

I saw my dog eat the pile of meat

By Caitlynn

Puppy

My puppy might be innocent but

He is actually not because he

Makes the noisiest sound with his toy

The toy is a red rubber chicken.

He squeaks it and squeaks it everyday

He is a black border collie puppy

I wanted to put him in the bin

I don’t want this to happen again.

By Kate

My Kittens

My cats are black they had some kittens.

The kittens woke me at 5am.

I really wanted revenge for that.

But they were still sweet to me for that.

My mum was furious I was sad.

She was tied up and made a big gulp.

She cried and cried for all her pillows.

She was really angry and shouted.

By Eden

Saffy

A brown Cavalier Spaniel,

Saffy was its name,

He liked to eat soapy bubbles,

And play a good game,

He liked to trip me over when I was just 3 and that was a problem for me,

he liked to lick my face with a slobbery lick.

And with that he was gone,

Now he’s just a happy memory

running through my brain,

But Saffy was amazing and I still smile with glee

By Milla

My Dog

My dog was the best until he tried

To Turn on me and tried to destroy

Me with a giant food fight i said

How could this be it was just so wrong

I Fought him with my banana gun

And super potato bazooka

I fought back and they retreated scared

I won the fight victorious yay!!

By Rylan

the SUUUUUUPER FOX!!!!

The Super fox is a 150 metre flying fox that we got to go on at camp. Here is some writing of my scary experience!

As we were putting harnesses on to do the Super Fox I felt a little pop in my tummy which let me know I would be nervous.
When we started walking up the hill we were trying to work out who would go first, second and third (Chester went first as he carried the harnesses up, and I was going to go second!)

I stepped up, once the man clipped me in. I sat in my harness about to get pushed off. I felt nerves and was about to scream when he pushed me off. I realised that is was not scary and there was no need to scream, but it was really high. I was wondering if I would make it to the end and not fall back into the middle, but John caught me. I could hear people at the platform saying, "yay, good on you!". I felt good.

Here are some pictures of other people at the end of the SUPER FOX!
     

Hut Building at Camp!

 On Tuesday, the year 4s got to hop on the bus and check out camp! We played a game of predator-prey, and we also built some huts. 

The hut building was really fun. We had to walk through the trees and find sticks, leaves and wood to build our huts. We had to find places in between trees to put sticks. We had to walk around and find stuff that we could use. It made me feel a bit like a builder.
We made a little campfire outside our hut that you could actually light on fire! We also made a pretend bit of flooring by flipping over our leaves so that the white bit was facing up.
