Christmas Food Tradition's Around The World

Today I learnt that in Britain it is a Christmas tradition to give plum pudding to Santa on Christmas Eve night. Did you know this?

Can you tell me some more Christmas food traditions from around the world? 

Christmas Round The World

We are learning about Christmas traditions around the world. Today I learned that in France children leave their shoes in front of the fire place on Christmas Eve. When they wake up they find that they are full of presents from Farther Christmas or what they call Pere Noel. French tradition say that it is actually the Christ Child who fill the shoes with gifts.

Can you tell me some other Christmas traditions from around the world?

The Goblin Fail!

In literacy we are focusing on writing a story with an unexpected twist. First we drew a picture of what we think will happen next. This is my story I hope you enjoy.

The Goblin Fail!

Cccrreakk! went the floorboard as the goblin crept silently towards the kitten. He didn’t dare move a muscle as he feared that he might start something that he couldn’t finish. He waited to see if the kitten would awaken, but it lay as still as a rock. A few more steps and he would be in reach of the cute marshmallow looking kitten...

As the wicked beast crept silently towards the kitten his heart raced like a cheetah in the jungle. He didn’t know what to expect. The kitten could be a secret spy or a ninja. The closer and closer he got the more terrified he got. At last he was in reach of the kitten.

Just when the goblin was about to sweep up the kitten it jumped into action. It frantically grabbed the goblins long bushy beard and dragged him out the door. As the kitten slammed the door shut he could hear the goblin screaming and whining to come back in, but the kitten doesn’t hesitate he goes straight back to dreaming about playing with his fluffy yarn balls.  

What Does Success Mean To Me?

Recently we have been working on success and what it means. First we brainstormed on a white board of all of out ideas. Then we went onto a goggle drawing and said what success means to us because we are all different and have different opinions. This is what success means to me I hope you enjoy!

Goodbye Old School Hello New School

For literacy the past week we have been doing a Te Manu Tukutuku poem. In our poem we had to add our five senses. Our five senses are see, smell, hear, touch and what we feel like emotionally. We also had to add some similes and alliteration. This is my poem.

Goodbye Old School Hello New School

Then I felt trapped like a dog in a kennel, now I feel free like a bird soaring high through the sky.

Then I felt puzzled like a gorilla in a cage, now I feel welcome like a cat on a couch.

Then I heard the ringing of the bell like an obnoxious christmas tune , now I hear the song Happy by Pharrell Williams, such a better tune.

Then I saw Smiler Sam, now instead I see Wonder Weka.

Then I saw lots of grass like an overgrown jungle, now I see a scooter track… here come lots of trouble.

Then I smelt dust like an old abandoned house, now I smell the fresh smell like a growing daisy.

Then I felt the ground all bumpy like the mountains, now smooth and hard like a straight open road.

I feel so lucky to be at this magical magnificent marvelous school.
