Reading Explanations at Assembly

Today some people in Room 9 got to read their explanations out at assembly. I got to take photos of them to put on the blog. Their explanations were really good.

By Kerry

Here are two of the fantastic explanations:

The Dental Nurse
The Dental Nurse is someone that cleans your teeth and checks up on them and makes fillings. Most of the time you have to wear sunglasses. They put a big yellow light in front of you and at the end they give you a sticker. It is at Nelson Central School by the office. All the time that you are there you can look at soft teddy bears. If you are going to go you have a book that someone gives you. You go every 2 or 3 months.

The Dental Nurse
The Dental nurse is someone who helps look after your teeth. What happens is you get to lie on a bench and keep your mouth open. The interesting part is at the start you get to wait but when you wait you get some toys to play with. At the end you get a sticker, a picture or a toothbrush.

Asking our Buddies Questions

Yesterday we talked to our buddies on the computer.We asked them questions about their school. We found out what the worms eat and what worms dont like eating. Our buddies answered them.

They have different chairs from us. Their classroom is different.

Anzac Day

On the 25th April it is ANZAC day.

We read an ANZAC story and then worked in groups to write about why we thought ANZAC day was important. Here are what the groups thought...

We celebrate ANZAC day because people died in the war. You wear poppies to remember the soldiers.
By Thomas, Brianna, Molly & Donovan

By Rohan, Victoria, Kerry & Louie

By Josh, Tayla, Joseph, Quade & Daniel

We think that ANZAC day is all about the army and to remember the New Zealand and Australian soldiers.
By Zoe, Jaime, Jonti, Jackson & Lochie

We think ANZAC day is about people who died in the war. We think they maybe died in a poppy field?
By Kyle, Sam, Darcy & Jessie

We also made some great ANZAC artwork... check it out!

Captions for Room Nine!

On Wednesday we had our ICT time in the computer suite with Nicky.

We had already taken photos using the digital camera with our buddy (our buddy took a photo of us and we took a photo of them). Today we used a special website to put a speech bubble onto our photo!

The picture we made is going to be the first page of our digital story about us. We had to write what our name was and how old we were in the speech bubble.

You can see what three of them turned out like below!!




The rest of the class will do their caption next week.
If we were to do ours again we would make sure we used capital letters for our name and for "I" and we would double check our spelling.

If you want to try putting a caption on your photo at home click on this link and have some fun!
