Learning about making blog comments with Room 15

Today some of the children from Room 15  came to teach us about how to write comments on people's blogs.

We learnt that you must first greet the person- just like when you see someone.

Then we need to write our name- so that the person knows who sent the comment.

When writing a comment we need to remember that a comment needs to be kind, helpful and thoughtful.

We really enjoyed learning about how to make good blog comments and can't wait till we can make our own comments next week.

Thank you Room 15 for helping us.

The Butterfly Garden

Today we went to the West Lynne Garden and Butterfly House. 

First room 10 went in the butterfly house and Room 11 walked around and looked at the plants. After morning tea Room 11 went into the butterfly house. We saw heaps of caterpillars and butterflies. We saw a caterpillar in the shape of a J. The caterpillar was gluing his bottom on the leaf. That caterpillar was turning into a chrysalis. A butterfly has a proboscis to slurp up the nectar. Jahrey's nana and Wynta's dad came to help us. We went back to school so that we could have our milk. We also had cup cakes because it was Alzarah's birthday.

Our hard working children of the week

Here are the photos of the children who received awards today.

Mercy got an award for always being a responsible learner. 

Asomua won the school Newsletter draw.

 Mustafa was caught being good last week.

Lavina has already got 50 sunshines and we have only been at school for 4 weeks. Well Done.

 This week we wrote about Komodo Dragons 

The komodo dragon is the largest and heaviest lizard on earth. They are reptiles which are cold blooded animals.

It looks like a crocodile because it has four legs. The legs are bow shaped and have sharp claws at the end.

Komodo dragons live in Indonesia where it is very hot and grassy.

They are very good swimmers. They wiggle their muscly tail  from side to side. They move their tails like a snake.The komodo dragon's tail is longer than its body.

Komodo dragons are carnivores, that means they eat meat. They can even eat people. They have sharp teeth like a shark. When they bite an animal they have poison which will kill the animal. They have a long forked tongue and they can smell using their tongue, just like a snake.
