Term 3 Week 4
We have been learning how to make our writing more interesting by writing complex sentences. These are two ideas that are connected by a conjunction like a super glue gluing two ideas together. We watched a video on a motorbike rider surfing a wave and then wrote sentences using conjunctions about it.

This dude is crazy but also very brave because of the way he rides over that glistening water. Ashlin

Term 3 Week 2
JAPANESE STUDENTS VISIT ROOM 9
We were lucky enough to have a visit from some of the students from Japan who have been at Ashburton College. They told us a story about 'Tanabata' - the story of two stars. We each then made a different decoration to put on our bamboo tree to celebrate this festival. We really enjoyed the Japanese students visit.
SNOW!
