Life Education Caravan is here!!!

Our class completed an independent piece of writing, trying to explore the genre of explaining what the life education caravan is and the possible experience you could have in it. Here are some examples that were published by the children on the chrome books. 

Let me tell you about the life education truck.

If you go in side it soon you will see a puppet giraffe named Harold. Next you learn about what you need to live like water. You also learn about your feelings like sad, happy and mad. 

Now go and find a life education education truck.

You might want to soon visit life education caravan? 

When you go you might see stars and a controller work controls the caravan there is fluffy floors and walls. Also the walls you can pop things on the walls. You  might learn about bodies. You might see a lady with her skin that has been pulled down. And Chris will pick people to come and lift up body parts. When you leave Chris will give your teacher some activity books for you and your class. 

Every one in the Juniors is allowed to go.

Let me tell you about the life education caravan. You can learn

about life. on the inside there is a big room you can see Harold the giraffe. There is lots to learn. Stay away from angry people. The heart pumps the blood.

Thats all for today.

Let me tell you about life education. There is fluffy walls in there. There are stars on the roof. You will learn about how your body works. In the caravan you will learn lots like your bones in your body and feelings in there. We learned about the heart there. The brain is squidgy. Everybody you can go there now. And that is about the life education caravan.

(We did some editing but this is how they recorded it, so some punctuation or structural errors are still present.) I still think they are great !!!!

Decorating Our Makariki Poem - 

Rather than colouring our poem of the week, we chose to use technology to complete the same task!

We used google draw to paste in the poem, then search for pictures about Matariki and stars.

We had to work in pairs with a senior buddy. 

We could change the background colour, font for the writing and move the pictures into position. 

We hope you like the ones that are shared!
