Animals

Slugs and Snails.

Today we learned about slugs and snails.
Now we know lots of things about slugs and
snails. Slugs and snails are animals.

Slugs are different from snails. Snails have
a shell but the slugs do not have one.
Snails have a hard shell on their body.
Next we learned that slugs and snails must
be wet because they might die.

Then we learned that they have hundreds of
tiny teeth. Slugs and snails live in the
garden and eat green leaves.
We found out slugs and snails have two short
feelers. Slugs and snails also have a soft
body.

A Visit From Old Mcdonalds Farm

Last week Old Mcdonalds Farm came to Glenbrae
School. They visited us first thing in the morning.
Room One went to Old Mcdonalds Farm and Farmer
Crystal was waiting for us at the gate. We fed
the baby lamb with a bottle of milk.

After we fed the lamb, we patted every animal in
the pen. The duck was in the box and the lid was
open. Farmer Jamie then took us to the pony.

The last thing we did was to hold the animals and
then to place them down safely on the ground.

Old Mcdonald’s Farm

Last week we all went to Old Mcdonald’s
Farm. Farmer Crystal, Farmer James and
Farmer Jamie were our teachers.
The animals were in a pen. We patted the
animals and they were soft and warm.
The animals have soft fur.
We carried the animals. The guinea pig
scratched my hand. It has sharp nails.
We all brushed the pony with a brush and
I touched the pony too. The pony was tied
up with a rope on the grass.
The pig and the chicken had hard fur.
We fed the animals with dry grass and hay.
All the animals were soft and warm.

Old McDonalds Farm

Last week the Old McDonalds Farm came to visit
Glenbrae School. The visitors were Farmer Crystal,
Farmer James and Farmer Jamie and they came to
the front of our school.
Famer Crystal let Room One feed the baby little
white lamb with a big huge pump bottle and the
baby little lamb drank the milk very fast.
After we fed the baby little white lamb with
milk, Farmer Crystal let us go inside the huge
big silver pen and it had a lot of animals like a
kid, rabbit, goat, calf, pony, lamb, sheep, guinea
pig, duck and chicken.
I patted the kid and it felt nice. I carried the
guinea pig, kid and rabbit. I didn’t want to carry
the chicken because it might scratch me. The rabbit
was nice and warm and I liked it.
I was brave.

First, Farmer Crystal was waiting for Room One
at the gate. The farmers’ names were Crystal,
James and Jamie.
Next Crystal let us feed the baby lamb.
After that we went in the pen and patted the

the goat. Then I brushed the pony.
Later on Crystal gave us some dry grass and hay.
Afterwards I held the animals.
At last I felt happy when I was holding the
animals.

Animal Tale

Tricking the tiger.
A long time ago there were two Foxes.
There were Mr Fox and Mrs Fox. They lived
in a den with their three little cubs.
One night when Mr and Mrs Fox were looking
for food and walking back home, a tiger
stopped them. The tiger said, “I am going
to eat you both.”
“Wait we have three little cubs and they are
fat and young,” said Mrs Fox.
Mr and Mrs Fox led the stripy tiger to their
door. They told the tiger to wait. Then
they escaped to the forest and they lived
happily ever after.

Monkeys


Monkeys are mammals. Monkeys have tails and they

can climb up trees with their arms and legs. Some of

the monkeys don’t have tails. Apes don’t have tails

but they can also jump up in the trees. They eat fleas

all day when they are grooming each other.

Inquiry Learning

How does a hot air balloon fly?

Things fly because hot air is light.

There are two gas burners in the hot air balloon. The

gas burners heat up the hot air balloon. The gas burners

throw out a lot of hot flames. The bigger the flames,

the higher the balloon will fly.

The cold air makes the balloon fall down.

up. The balloon can go up because the gas burners heat up the

hot air balloon.

Water Experiment

Water

Room One learned how water changes in many ways.

The water became steam and the water turned in to

raindrops because the water was changed by the sun.

Ozone Layer

This week I came to school and it was raining. I learned about the Ozone Layer with Ms Boyer. We need to wear our sunhats so we cannot get sunburnt.

Wind Tunnel

We are learning about air. We went to learn about how air moves around in space. We saw the wing spin around the string. The cold wind blew the wing around the wind tunnel.

Shannon

Wind Tunnel

Inside the wind tunnel there is a fan. The fan makes the wind. The air moves around. The air makes the wing go up and down.

Why do we need water?

We need water to stay alive. Plants need water to feed and grow. We need water to keep us clean and handsome.

School Treaty

At school I am busy writing some words and after that I will tell the teacher what to do.

At school I learn with my brain. I listen to the teacher and I will do what the teacher tells me.

When the teacher tells me to do something I need to do it quickly.

Mafoa

School Treaty

I work hard at school. At school I try to do my reading and story writing. I think hard all the time.

I sit still and look at the teacher. On the mat I cross my legs and arms.

I am honest because I tell the truth.
