Wacky WebTales

Hey Guys!

Had a play with 'Wacky Web Tales'. 

All you do is pop in verbs and nouns and the site creates a 'wacky tale' for you.

Have a go and see what weird and wonderful tales you can come up with.

p.s. I'll pop the link into a list of 'Literacy Games' in our blog.

An Ode

Radio Announcer: Thank you for tuning in today. We are here in Palmerston North to celebrate National Poetry Month. In just a moment, the nation's poet laureate, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, will read a poem about a duck. And here is Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson: Thank you, everyone. This is a very ataahua poem I wrote about a duck.

An Ode to a duck
The duck is as big as a goose.
It reminds me of small geese singing.
O, the duck. O, the duck!
What do grumpy people think when they see you for the first time?
Perhaps they know there are happy days ahead.
O, the duck. O, the duck!
For some, you are freak, but for others, you are tumeke.
If we are dancing, we pause when we think of you.
May you always twirl.
O, the duck. O, the duck!

Radio Announcer: On behalf of the poets, thank you for sweating

Swimming Carnival

It was absolutely freezing last week, as Kahikatea entered the pool for our annual Swimming Carnival.  Teeth were chattering, bodies were shakin' and skin turned all bumpy.  Kahikatea strove to remain positive and fun was had by the team despite the cold weather.
GO KAHIKATEA!... Your teachers are so proud of you all!... YOU GUYS ROCK!!!

Tuakana - Teina

Our buddy class - Ruma Waru are awesome!
We enjoy hangin' and sharing with them and cannot wait to see what we do next.
A few weeks ago we got together and taught each other something.
Ruma Waru taught us a clapping game.
We taught them 'Fa Pati' - a part of a Samoan sasa.
We both loved teaching our buddy and had lots of fun and laughs!
See you all soon little Teina buddy class!
