The South African Community BBQ

The South African Community had a fantastic afternoon when we all got together for a BBQ. We decided to compare Kiwi sausage sizzles and South African boerewors rolls. Some of us had to take a risk as it is sometimes scary to try new things, but when we had our first taste, we found out that both were absolutely delicious! In our buddy groups we discussed the taste, smell and feel of the food. We came up with some great ideas. We had an awesome afternoon and enjoyed participating and collaborating with our community. Go Team South Africa!

The dragon in the classroom

The Dragon:
Yesterday a dragon came into our class because a knight came into his lair. The dragon was scared so he came to our class.I wonder what he looks like. - Aysha



A dragon in our classroom:
On Tuesday morning Room 5 had a fantastic surprise. We found a fancy burnt letter from a kind dragon on Mrs Watt's desk. On the letter it said he would spread dragon dust where he goes. - Ava




When Mrs Watt saw the dragon letter I bet she was so surprised that she danced like a drama queen. Yesterday I looked in the open window and I saw the dragon try to eat the rubber food near the sink! The note he sent us said "Dear children, I hope you can help me, a knight has discovered my lair and he won't go until he finds me! I am invisible." And we all said we would help the invisible dragon! My guess was that he would appear in the last few minutes. I wonder if he will appear? - Gemma



Yesterday Room 5 had a pretty good surprise. It was a letter from a dragon! A bad knight scared him out of his lair. Guess what! He is in Room 5 right now and he is invisible. We are going to bring books about dragons to school. - Charlotte




Yesterday Room 5 had a nice dragon visit and a burnt letter was on Mrs Watt's desk. We had a hunt for dragon dust. After that Mrs Watt read us a story called Dragon in the Cupboard. We had some ideas of what it looked like, sounds like and does. The letter said "I really hope you can help me, I'm a very friendly dragon. I heard you were learning about dragons this week. A very brave knight has discovered my lair and I had to flee to a safe land. I heard that you were very caring and kind so I decided to hide in your classroom until the knight has given up looking for me! - Ben

A dragon in our classroom:
On Tuesday morning Room 5 had a fantastic surprise. We found a letter from a dragon on Mrs Watt's desk and the dragon is a wonderful dragon and it is invisible. He left some dragon dust and the dragon dust was red and gold. The dragon is here because it is hiding away from the knight because he is in the dragon's lair. - Sophie

A dragon in the class:
On Tuesday morning there was a fancy burnt letter from a very kind dragon. The letter said "Dear children, I am a dragon. I have come to stay with you because there is a knight, he is trying to catch me so that's why I am staying with you." He left awesome dragon dust, it was really sparkly. I would ask him some questions. Like what do you look like? - Logan
