The vibrant glossy banana yellow umbrella

This week we have been learning about empathy and we watched a short film about a girl with a  umbrella  and how she showed empathy.                       

Umbrella

Early one wintery cold day, the door to Miss Elem’s Home for Children was

opening  wide. 

The girl with the vibrant glossy banana yellow umbrella , angrily entered the

orphanage  before finding a home for her umbrella .Not wanting to be seen,

Boris quickly whipped his head around the door frame so that he was hidden

from view. Standing off to the side the girl happily looked as her old toys were

becoming new toys as the children searched in the box for hidden treasures.

The girl smiled as she watched the young girl cradle the doll like it was her

baby sister. Her smile quickly disintegrated as she looked back at the umbrella

stand and all she saw were puddles. Her umbrella beloved had vanished out of

sight  no were to be seen.

can you find the simile in my writing?

Town Trip

  On Thursday the 20th our hub Tumu hub went to Margaret Mahy for our PBL. We learned about the art that was engraved into the ground and we also went to Victoria Square where we fed the eels and went on the waka. It was lots of fun. 

When we arrived at Margaret Mahy the first thing me and my group did was look for mats with our teacher and the mats tell a story and you can even see some montines and patterns 

Next we went to the waka and got put into two lines and a buddy my buddy was freya I went left side and freya went on the right side and there was a chant It went hi ha  It was very fun 

After that we got to go to Victoria Square and we had to find some facts. Me and Freya found out that Queen Victoria was born on may the 26.

Soon after we went back to the playground and we did a scavenger hunt it was hard and then we had to do a drawing or Trace a drawing me and freya did 3 it was lots of fun     

My favourite part of the trip was the waka because I learnt how to use a paddle and a waka.

Something that I learnt was that there is a big circle around the playground and there were words around the circle  and it was a song written by Margaret Mahy.

The thing I found the most interesting was that the mats and in a brick house the brick is on sideways but on the mat they are put long ways up. 

This trip has helped me with my PBL because it is based on Ōtautahi because of the native trees and bush around the place and all the birds on the poles and trees 

Has your school ever been on a school trip?
