Colour wheels

We are learning to identify the primary colours plus, the secondary and tertiary in-betweens. With only blue, yellow and red colours supplied we experimented with producing the 12 basic colours.

Top Spot Competition

The cold misty air flows into my lungs making me gasp with excitement. The water gliding over my toes makes a shiver run through my spine. Diving in like a dolphin to find what mystery happens next, makes my tremendous mouth curve into a banana. Fish zigzag. Crayfish side step from rock to rock, sprinting against each other. Weeds tangle between my toes, iron chains in a jail makes me shiver. There I swim with my eyes glittering at the lakes view. No other place I would rather be.

This is my description that I will be entering about Taupo in a writing competition. The aim of the description was to describe a favourite kiwi place. So I choose Taupo where I love to go in the holidays. 

Pony Whisperer The word on the yard ( 1st book )

Second Chance

This book I read the first page then put it down. But then I picked it up and enjoyed it so much. 

This book is what most of you can relate to, except for the bit where she can hear horses. Pia's mum breaks up with her husband. Forcing them to move away with Pia's pony Drummer. But when Pia falls off her pony on a trek she stumbles over Epona. A statue which gives her the power to hear what ponies say? But then it all falls apart when she gets asked to go on tv about it. Will Pia get through the tv show or will Pia forget something that she can't do without?

Great for ages 9 - 12

The Three Bears Sort of

Picture Book
By Yvonne Morrison 

This is a great story with lots of true and interesting facts put greatly together in a picture book. Great for kids but might struggle on a couple of words. Is very amusing and is a great book to read to people. Great illustration and love how it is different from any other book I have read. 

This book is about a family of grizzly bears. They live in a abandoned house. But a little girl comes to their house uninvited. When they are not there. What will she do?
