The bananas group play




We were learning to use expression when we read.  We had to look at the punctuation to know how to change our voice to suit.  We hope you enjoy!

Mavis and Jayden


These are my class mates Jayden and Mavis.  They won artist awards!  I thought I would share their good news with you.  Room 8 kids rock!

The Brave Little Tailor

I am learning to find key words and phrases that describes a main character in the text.

Today I read a book called The Brave Little Tailor. The main character in this book is the Tailor.

  • He is a brave man because he kills two giants and and a boar.
  • He wears a brown belt that says ‘Seven At One Blow’ because he killed seven flies all at once.
  • He is not scared. He is confident.
  • He married the king’s princess.
  • One thing the Tailor likes to say is ‘Seven in One Blow.

I want to be like the tailor because I like how he was a brave man.

Tim's Costume

Today I read a book called Tim's Costume. He got invited by his friend to a costume party. He did not like the costumes suggested by his mother or sister.

I think Tim should go to the costume party looking like a scarecrow so that he can scare people at this party.


In My Weekend


In my weekend, I  went   to   spend my  weekend  at my  papa‘s   house.  I   played   with  my friends  and  I   met  new friends too.  We   played hide  and seek.  I   had  the  best   hiding   place!  I   hid in  the tree!   I   was  laughing  in    the    tree.   Maopa   gave  up!  I   jumped  down  from the tree  and  papa called us  for  dinner and  we had  KFC.  It was beautiful!

Comparing Movies that Entertain and that Influence

I used lucidchart.com and manaiakalani.org to create a Venn Diagram that compared movies that entertain and movies that influence!  It was challenging learning a new website but my teacher helped me.
