Jerome's Reindeer

My Year In Room 1

I loved going to the Redwoods because I played a game with Mana.

Manuka Hub Assembly

Isaac, Brianna, Jerome, Finley, Maddie and Tyler received certificates today at our Manuka Hub assembly.  Well Done to you all.  We look forward to our next assembly in a few weeks.  

Frosty Morning Fun

At 9.15am this morning the temperature outside was 1.2 degrees and it was much colder overnight 

(-2.8 degrees at 6am)! 

We had fun exploring the frosty morning and then describing it in our writing.

The frost is cold and I went on the white grass.  I saw my footprints and it was crunchy.

Written by Terrell

This morning when I went outside I froze.  It was really, really cold.  I couldn't move a muscle!  It was so icy cold that it felt like I was in an ice cube.

Written by Mana

Wow!  What an enormous frost.  At school we played on the frosty, icy ground.  I slipped on the beautiful ice crystals.  It felt very, very cold.  I think if it was a little bit cooler we would have a big blanket of ice.  

Written by Maddie

What a frosty morning at school.  I was skidding on the icy tracks and the grass was turning back to normal.  I touched the grass and it was freezing!

Written by Jerome

In the cold morning I got out of my home and went to play on the grass.  It was white and crunchy.  I was freezing and I left my footprints all over the ground.

Written by Erin

Slippery, sliding on the lawn at school!  I was ice skating on the icy, white grass.  I licked a blade of grass and it tasted like water.  I left trails of green grass where ever I went.

Written by Tyler

When I got outside I got a shock!  My lawn was covered in white.  I rolled in it.  It was freezing cold.  I froze to pieces and felt like an ice block.  I screamed and ran inside!

Written by Sienna

This morning my grass was white.  Brrrrrrrr!  I was cold in the car and I had brain freeze.  It was hurting my brain.  Oh no!

Gooey, Slimy, Slippery Slugs in Room 1's Garden

Today we worked on adding 'wow' words to our writing to describe the slugs and our garden.  Can you spot some?

 Oh, we have some gooey, slimy slippery slugs in Room 1’s garden.  Yuck.  Mrs Blakesley put some slug bait out otherwise they will gobble the seedlings.  At my house there are a lot of snails and slugs.  They look fat.

Written by Sadie

 Ewwy Gooey slimy slugs are yuck.  Some are fat and some are skinny.  Some can eat the plants all up.  Mrs Blakesley sprinkled snail bait around the garden.  Snails and slugs come out in the morning when no one is at school.  They might come out from the yummy strawberries.  They sneak into the garden.  Room 1 went outside yesterday.  I am going to go outside today to check the seedlings. 

Written by Maia

 Oh the slugs and snails are eating and hiding in our garden.  They are slimy and they are munching and eating plants.

Written by Jerome

Look at the slimy spew.  The slugs will eat the leaves.  Room 1 saved the day because we put the slug bait on the dirt. 

Written by Isaac 

Ooh yuck.  There are slimy slugs and snails in our garden everywhere.  They are munching and crunching and eating our vegetables but…we put slug bait so we could make them die because we didn’t want them to eat our vegetables.

Written by Marcus

Wow.  What slithery, slimy slugs but unfortunately I hate slugs because they eat our vegetables so we had to sprinkle out the slug bait.

Reading Time in Room 1

Today we talked about the importance of staying on task at Reading time by making sure we are doing lots of reading and writing so we can become better readers.  

Here are the Super Duper Room 1 Readers - 'reading to self' and 'reading to someone'.
