Assembly

Last week Rooms 10 and 15 hosted their second school Assembly of the year. It all began like this.

During the Rugby World Cup one wet winters day
Mrs Stewart was looking for Rooms 10 and 15 at Sunnybrae.

She headed out back to check the grounds
And was nearing the field when she noticed some sounds.

People were cheering and someone yelled, “Catch!”
and Mrs Stewart stepped into the beginning of …

A rugby match!

Below Evie who played the part of Mrs Stewart with the real Mrs Stewart.

Narrative Orientations

Read some more of our interesting orientations for The Monkey and the Crocodile.

One sunny morning a very hungry crocodile was sitting on her eggs keeping them warm. She was starving to death. All of a sudden she saw a monkey.
By Sam

Hundreds of years ago there was a very wise monkey still living when the dinosaurs were alive. They were living at the foot of the Himalaya Mountains.
By Te Rangi

Many years ago when dinosaurs lived there lived a big, strong and smart monkey. She lived in a fig tree at the bottom of the Himalaya Mountains by the river Ganges. In the river lived a crocodile. She said, "that monkey's heart looks like a juicy treat to me!"

Character Descriptions

This week in writing we have been learning to write character descriptions for a Narrative story. We had to describe the crocodile from Oban's The Monkey and the Crocodile.

One sunny morning a crocodile was prowling around. There appeared a plump monkey. He saw the crocodile's turned out toes and grip skin plus her enormous, thick tail and her dagger-like teeth.
By Jessica

One day a terrifying crocodile was swimming in the river Ganges. The crocodile had sharp teeth like a tiger. It had terrifying and googly eyes. Her tail was floppy and triangular. She became more angry and greedy as her slimy, wet body swam through the water.
By Thomas

Her drool came sliding down her scaly cheek then her mouth opened. It was an enormous mouth and you could see her pointed teeth. Her tennis ball eyes and jaws were wide open.
