The Milky Whey.

On Thursday the 10th of April we got a little news paper that is called the Milky Whey.
Some of the activities are all about cows and dairy products like milk, cheese and other dairy products.
There is a cow called Rosie. She has her own website called Rosies World. It has lots of cool games.
The games are all about farms and dairy stuff there are lot of word finds and
other cool games and activities you can do. It was a good way to finish off our dairy unit and see how much we know about dairying.

The Important book

During the year the whole class made a book and it was called The Important book. I did my one on not talking while others are talking and this is the paragraph I wrote.                                                                             The important thing about not talking while others are talking is that you can hear the person who is speaking.

It is showing respect. It is good manners. It is listening to others or you might miss something important.

But the most important thing about not talking while others are talking is that you can hear and it lets others learn more.

The Important Book

In Room 1 we have been thinking about the rules of Winton School. We have made an  Important book  with the rules of Room 1. If you look at a few of them then you will get the pattern.

Here is the title page

This is done by Melissa and Lani.           This is done by Geena and Aimee.

Advertisments

For the past couple of weeks we have been looking at how people advertise there products. Some of the ways they advertise there products are they use HUMOUR, they appeal to your SENSES, they use ALLITERATION, they use CELEBRITIES and alot more.We looked at what things would target different groups of people, like a bag of lollies would be targeting  kids not adults. We looked at some ads to see what caught our attention. We got a picture each and had to put it in a group either a Gimmick, Humour, Offering something, Asking questions and Celebrity Endorsements. One of the Gimmicks is I'm lovin' it. One of Offering Something is a buy one get one free. A question  was how do you eat yours? A Funny one is a Pepsi bottle with a straw in it and a coca bottle with a straw that wont go in it. Advertisements have to be catchy or funny to catch your attention.

THE SCOOP OF SUMMER

At the start of term 1 we did a story about what we did in the holidays. First we did our draft copy and we sorted it in three paragraphs. The first one was called All About Me, then In The Holidays and the last one was This Year. This was the story that I did:

The Scoop Of Summer

All About Me

When I grow up I want to be a famous rugby player and go on world tours to visit countries I have never been before in my life. Learn different languages and learn how to use chopsticks the right way. Also last year(2012)  my sister Rebekah and I moved to Winton School because five years ago my family and I moved to Winton. We came down from Lochiel and at Lochiel School we car pooled with this boy named Adam Hillis who then came to Winton School and then we car pooled with another family for about two and a half years and then we came to Winton School.

In The Holidays

On the 25th September it was my birthday. I usually send three or four people but in the Christmas holidays we went to Dunedin and stayed in the Holiday park down in the south side. The first thing we did was we went to Stirling Sports, I bought a rugby tee. The next thing we went to was Smiggle. I bought an orange pencil case and a rubber. So did Rebekah, but it was purple instead.  About an hour later we went to Moana Pool. The first thing I went to first was the Hydro Slide, then after that it was the diving board. About twenty minutes later after the diving board it was the lazy river. We got bored after awhile so we asked mum if if could get out and go back to the Holiday Park. But when we got back there was a flash new car right in front of our cabin. It was my dad.He must of bought it down from Christchurch.

This Year

During the year I am hoping to go back to Dunedin again and collect more Smiggle things. Also I want to get in another Southland team for any sports. My two favourite sports are Cricket and Rugby.

The Important Book

At the start of the term Room 1 read a book called The Important Book. We decided to do one about the classroom rules. I did my page with Aimee. 

The important thing about not throwing things inside is that you could break things and hurt people. 

It is true that you could hit someone and they could get seriously injured. It is disobeying school rules and you can damage expensive equipment. 

But the most important thing about not throwing things inside is that you could break things and hurt people.

Kelly Tartons

Last week room 1 was learning ways to grab attention here's my one that I shared in assembly.


We payed the cash to get into Kelly Tartans. As we stepped in there was a under water viewing platform  to see the penguins diving. They were really cute with black and white fur with a orange beak. In the next room was a small restaurant. I had a slushy. The flavour was orange juice it was nice and cold. Their was a awesome show of Stingrays. The man was tall with curly blond hair. The Stingrays hopped on his black silk wet suit awaiting for their daily eat of small fish. In their with the giant Stingrays were gigantic fish with fangs!

Next was a tube that use to be a sewer! In their was ferocious Sharks. I asked my Mum if i could go cage diving she said no. A sign said to look for the Conga Eel Shark. It was behind a totem  pole.

In the next room was my favourite animal a Octopus I'm very surprised it hasn't escaped the tank because they have no bones. Their were also some eel's. "They look very disgusting," said my Nana with a horid face.
But their it was swimming in the next tank a puffed up puffer fish. Wait even better... a Lion fish with its sharp as a knife back. That was a awesome day at Kelly Tartons.

Character Descriptions

In Room One last week we were practicing character descriptions. We  use character descriptions to create a picture of the characters in our readers head. Here is an example from my book.

I watched him lift the 200 kg weight with ease. "Hey you get off of me!," he yelled. I saw his black beard stuck on the bar. I stepped back. Uncle Bruno is scary when he gets mad.
