Hartaj's Story about his dragon Friend:

I have a little dragon whose name is  Light Ball .

Light Ball loves to eat chicken ball

Light Ball and me love to play fetch 

We love to sit on the couch and watch tv

We love to drink hot chocolate 

When it rains we love to play in the rain.

Miller's Mystery Egg Writing

The Weird Egg

One day my doorbell rang and it was a package for me. In the package it was another package and in that package there was a package shaped like an egg. So I opened the package and in the package there was an egg. Then the egg hatched and it was a dragon. The dragon had black scales, a golden horn and the inside of the dragon's wings were red.The middle of him and under his tail is golden. And he has a red fin down his back. Now I have a dragon I don't know  what to do with him. Then he spat out a portal and it was right under me. ‘What ! it’s under me aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Where are we?”suddenly the dragon started to talk. Then I fainted for one hour. When I woke up now I was in Fiji so I caught a flight  back to New Zealand. When I got back, “listen up dragon your name is Grindal” I said. “I will give you treats if you do not spit portals''. So we went outside and there they were, his family. He went home with them and lived happily ever after. THE END

Cooper's Mystery Egg Writing:

One day when I woke up I had a package. I went to open it and in it, there was an egg. It had yellow and green dots on it. It was bumpy and small. I took it to my bedroom and looked at it but it started to hatch! Then it popped out of the egg and it was a dragon! It had green scales with yellow bumpy spots. So I ran with all my energy to my mum and dad. But before I could get there it ran out of my hands and started making some problems. It was running around breaking things and messing things up. Then it started going to the fridge. It wanted to open the fridge and so I opened it and it wanted sausages. So I made it follow me to a cage and put some sausages in the cage and every day I fed it. As long as I fed it it stayed well behaved and it became our family pet. THE END.  

  

Our Amazing Animal Mixes

 This was a very popular task today! Lots of our class took part in creating an animal mix from 2 separate animals. You could mix the two animals using different parts from each animal to come up with a completely new creature.  Check out some of our creations below - keep checking in as Mrs Zandbergen will add more as they come in!

If you could combine two animals to create a new creature what would they be? Could you come up with a new name for this creature?

Spectacular Lock Down Learning

 Check out some of the amazing work that our classmates have been completing from home on Day One of this week!

Here is Sol's Alien story:

An alien came down to earth and said he wanted to spend the day with me. What did I do with him?

One day to my surprise there was a little green alien that said, “I have come from Mercury to here because I am on a special vacation.“ So I went and gave him some delicious food but he said he didn’t want it. Instead he ate slimy earthworms from the garden.

Later he said he could make me invisible so I went to a lolly shop and sneakily brought out some lollies and I shared them with the alien. But the sneaky shopkeeper told the angry policeman and the policeman followed the lollies home so he found my address. The alien knew that there was only one way. And he transported the policeman to space and the angry policeman suffocated and he died. And that became history so the alien went back to space. From then on nobody knew how the policeman disappeared except for me.

The next day there was a knock on the door and I thought to myself, “Should I answer it or not…..?”

Great story Sol! I really like how you have ended your story with a cliffhanger..... we may need a sequel to see what happened if you did open the door!

Here is Kowhai's Robot to do her Homework for her. I think that this would be a very popular robot if it was available to buy..

Keep up the great work Room 3! I can't wait to see what you get up to tomorrow!
