Character witting
He has a soft furry coat the colour of chocolate. When you look into his eyes it is like you are staring into a golden full moon. When he is asleep he snores and sounds like a loud truck zooming past. his favourite food is meat but actually is quite greedy for any kind of food.
You may have already guessed that I'm describing my dog Tom, is a chocolate Labrador. He is very naughty, in fact once he nearly ate a whole block of cheese. You can read about that in my blog post called my naughty dog. Anyway getting back to my dog he is cute and soft. While he sometimes behaves well, it doesn't always last long. You can't mention the words "cat" or "bird" without him getting very excited and running around to look for an actual cat or bird because he once ate a bird! I know right disgusting isn't it. He loves running on the beach and splashing through the rolling waves, if he sees a seagull then he will run straight for it, dragging me along at the end of his leash.

Pat reports
W.A.L.T to reflect and evaluate honestly
Buddy comment: she has done a fantastic job but I think she should recheck over her answers and make sure she didn't make a mistake. Also she should use up all the time she has.

Clay Making
WALT: compare contrast
Question: why is clay moldable ?
Prediction: I Think it will be very sticky ?
Experiment :1cup of flour 1/4cup of salt but I didn't
put any in the clay 2 tablespoons of cream of tartar
1cup of water.
I noticed it took a long time to thicker and it was
sticky and slimy.
I saw it getting thicker and thicker and very sticky.
I think that with out the salt it was very sticky and
took longer to cook.
I wonder what the cream of tartar did to make the clay
better.

my naughty dog
W.A.L.T To entertain our audience.
My chocolate labrador Tom is addicted to cheese. Around two years ago he stole an almost 1 kg block of cheese off the kitchen bench. We had Lasagne for dinner that night and my Mum had grated some cheese for the top and left it sitting on the bench while we were all in the lounge eating dinner. I heard a big crash coming from the kitchen so I put my dinner down and ran to see what the commotion was. I saw the cheese on the floor with little dog bite marks all over it and Tom sitting beside the cheese trying to look innocent in the and Tom had to go out in the cold until we had finished our dinner.

My old ted Rosie
When I was little I had a teddy bear called Rosie, she is is light brown. I love putting make up on her and a dress with a roses on it. I have had Rosie ever since we were about the same size.
When I was little I used to take Rosie to daycare. She would go inside my backpack.
Rosie is a well dressed bear as I have some of my old baby clothes and she fits them.

My Brother
I have an older brother, he is almost 14 He is quite tall and seems to get taller everyday. He has boring short brown hair and blue eyes. He goes to Boy's High and is in year 9. Mostly he spends his time on Facebook and watching comedy central on TV. He plays rugby and thinks he is as good as an All Black! He gets covered in mud and is never in a hurry to have a shower. DISGUSTING!
His favourite food is homemade pizza and chocolate croissants.

Free Writing
The freezing cold water splashed on the sand. I dip my toes in the water I screamed and ran away . My dad said if I went into the water up to my knees he would give me $10. So I ran into the water and when I was up to my knees I ran back when I was five feet away from my dad I stood on a crab I ran as fast as I could to the sand and but the crab would not let go . It felt like someone was trying to cut my toe. To get it off I had to get a stick and stab the crab until it let go but at least I got a to have crab for dinner.

Risk Taking
WALT: Take risks & step outside our comfort zone.
TASK:
Create a motivational poster with my own quote to inspire others to take risks.
Every Thursday Suzanne teaches us. We have been learning to take risks and we made a poster to show other people what risk taking is. My poster is about not being afraid to do things and to just do it anyway. My picture shows a boy bungee jumping because it could make some people really nervous because they are afraid of jumping. It shows that even though risk taking can make you scared, just do it because you might learn something new or have a new experience.

Koru Art
WALT: Use symbols
(to represent something special to us)Our process: - What we did
- We looked at pictures of koru shapes
- We had a go at drawing koru shapes in different sizes
- We planned how our art was going to look.
- We had to explain our art to our buddy
- We used chalk pastel to outline
- Then we used oil pastels to colour in the koru patterns.
- We made sure all the 'mouse holes' were filled in.
- We filled the outline with white pastel
- Lastly, we did a dye wash in black.
- We used a tissue to wipe off the extra dye.
my mum my brother and me are in my art.

Swimming Sports
On Thursday Russell Street School had swimming sports at the Lido. We did things like breaststroke, backstroke, freestyle, and relay racing. The best part of the day was to go to the Esplanade. It was awesome I loved the tyre swings and the flyingfox the most. It turned out to be a great day and lots of fun.
