Shark vs Octopus

For the past few weeks, Room 1 have been learning about Sharks and Octopuses.
Ms Petrus showed a video of a shark and an octopus in a tank and we had to predict what would happen using what we have learnt about sharks and octopuses.


The shark is looking for the octopus. The shark found the octopus. The octopus sprayed ink at the shark. It ..... missed the shark. The octopus ran fast but the shark swam faster. The octopus got munched by the shark. Imran

The shark likes to eat octopus. The octopus is trying to hide from the shark. Then the shark saw the octopus and the shark and the octopus fought. I think the shark is going to win. The shark is going to gobble up the octopus. Akesa

I think the shark is going to win because the shark is big and tough.- Sauni

The octopus and the shark were fighting. The octopus won. The octopus is very strong it can squash into a hole. It is very clever. Amelia

The octopus is smart. The shark found the octopus. I think they will fight and the shark will win. The shark will eat the octopus. Astera

I think the Shark is going to win because the shark saw the octopus. The shark can swim fast. Sirrena

The octopus can hide in the hole. Then the shark found the octopus and the shark bit the octopus and then swam away. Faith

The shark can catch the octopus and it can win the fight. The shark crunched it with the sharp teeth. Henry

The shark is going to catch the octopus. Hargunpreet

The shark has got sharp teeth. It can catch the octopus and munch it up. Kahealani

I think the shark is going to win because the shark is going to bite the octopus with  his sharp, white teeth. The shark is going to eat the octopus because the octopus looks like a rock but the shark knows the octopus is like a rock. Mariam

The octopus is going to win. The shark  can't see the octopus. The octopus is going to ink the shark. Damsey

 When the shark tries to catch the octopus it will spray ink at it and camouflage into a rock.  Alzarah

And here is the video:


Then we pretended we were one of the animals in the video and wrote the story from the animals point of view.  Here are a few of our ideas:

I am a dog shark. I don't attack other creatures. Sometimes I attack little animals. I can dart crazily fast through the water. I have a poisonous spine. Then the octopus saw me. I swam and hit the octopus on the back hard so it died. I have a bullet shaped body.  Imran

I am the octopus. If a dog shark comes I hide on the rock. Then I start to fight with the dog shark. Then I win and I am safe. So I hide and eat the dog shark. I use the beak under my head  to bite the dogfish. When I eat the dog fish I try to get another one. Akesa

I think I should be the octopus because I changed my mind today. I am the octopus because I catch the shark and I'm awesome. I like to catch a shark today. I live in the water and I love to live in the water. Mariam 

I am the Great Pacific Octopus. The shark is loosing. I got the shark. I ate the dog shark. Damsey

Hi I am the octopus. I have eight legs to help me kill the shark. The shark is dead. Amelia

I am the octopus. I can camouflage and hide in holes. Isaiah

I am the shark. I can smell the octopus then I find the octopus. Then we fight. Then I die. Ita

 I am the octopus. When the dog shark comes I am going to hide under the rock. Then I started to grab him. Then I started to fight in the sea. The octopus is clever because it killed the dog shark. I like the octopus and it is amazing because it is strong and tough. Amethyst

I am the octopus. I grabbed the shark. I ate the shark. Faith.

Spending time with James


Today during story writing time James got a change to write on the small white board. Room One's children practice writing their high frequency words so James decided to write a sentence about himself. 
We love reading to James.


James joined us when we lined up.


He watched us going through our Taekwondo  paces.


James even joined us when we won the holiday reading log and had lunch with the Blue Fairy.

James takes a holiday!

Our best buddy James finally got his wish and went to the sky tower in the holidays!
He hopped on a bus and went to the sky tower.  He was feeling a little bit scared but really excited because he had always wanted to go. He even stepped on the glass floor and saw the city below. James made a friend called Steve who bungee jumped from the top! James was a bit scared to do that. Maybe he will when he gets a bit older!

Look at the exciting pictures that James took of his holiday.
