Colour poem

Green is  leaves when they are dying from the tree.

Green  is grass growing after the autumn when it,s fresh.

Green is whiteboard pen on the whiteboard.

Green is on the front of a book.

BUT sad when an animal dies.

black

Black is like the dark night sky.

Black is the coal getting burnt.

Black is the black birds singing.

Black is after a fire.

But its sad when black rocks fall.

Colour poem

White.
White is a brides dress before a wedding.
White is a fluffy cloud after when it is a lovely day.
White is a lonly star after the day.
White is when the lights are on.

Colour poem

Red

Red makes me feel happy on a hot day because it is bright.
Red makes me feel pretty at a party because it is a party colour.
Red makes me feel excited when I see it when it's summer.
Red makes me feel warm because it's bright.
Red makes me feel like going swimming on a hot day.

white

white is a polar Bear in Antarctic
white is fresh snow
white is dazzling snow men
white is the top of mt.hut after it's has snowed

Finding China

This is a stoy about a girl that was born in China then went to NZ. Please enjoy.

Red Hat

At first she was a bit scared to go to China then she realised it would be quite fun.

Yellow Hat

She would learn more languages at the school.

She had lots of fun.

Her first night at the school all the girls were nice to her. A girl named Sophie who knows a bit of English

Black Hat

There were no doors on the bathroom.

A 100 pressups and 20 sit ups. She hated the food. 1 hour to do homework. She missed her family and freinds.

Finding China

I read a book and it was about a girl going to China and she was going on her own and also w did the hats and the hats were red hat, yellow hat, and black and my ideas were 

Black Hat

That at China school they have to be ready and showered at 6:30 to have breakfast. They have no doors for their bathroom so people can see you in the shower! They have to do 50 hours of fitness!

they have to do 1 hour of fitness! Red hat

When she thought about it she got more excited. She got a bit home sick .when she got to the air port and when she was saying good buy her mum and dad were crying but the girl was not.

yellow hat

She got to see her friends and she is part Chinese and she got to learn  more of there language .In china the kids how live in china are  very kind to there mum and dad and there teacher(more kind then us)                                                                                                                        she gets to now more about her country                                                                                                                                                            

Where they go

At the end of Independent Learning with Toby

I think the class worked really well today. I was impressed with the choices everyone was making. I would like to see some success criteria displayed so that the kids know what to do at each stage. Maybe they could write this for you, Sheena?

I got the feeling that the students really liked the challenges given and they enjoyed the choice they had. There blogs reflect this.

Well done room 17, I'm looking forward to seeing more of this.

Piper's thoughts

The activity I chose was word smart because I enjoyed drawing the flag.

I think Independent Learning is fun because you get to decide when you do things.

cross word

On Tuesday we did smarts and i did word smart.

My cross word is called Europe.

The words that you need to find are black water dublin and ireland

Sophie's Thoughts

Why did you choose the activity you did?

I chose picture smart because I like doing art  

and drawing.

What do you think about Independent Learning?

I like Independent Learning because you think your own thoughts,

and do something that no one else is doing.
