Louis cabin boy story.

Louis really immersed himself in the life of the cabin boy and he wrote so much he thought it would be a good idea to be able to read it when he is older. So we have decided to type it in instead. Have a read and see what you think. Then leave Louis a comment.
Excellent work Louis. Ms Glaze

On a cold August morning in England in 1768 I walked with my mum to the dockside to wait for the Endeavour. I felt very anxious because I am only 12 years old and I have never been on a ship before. I also felt very sad because I was going to leave my mother behind for 18 months. When I was on the dockside I saw a huge wooden ship in front of me called the Endeavour.

On the Endeavour I saw sails as tall as the sky up like a blind. I heard chickens squawking loudly. Then I heard Captain James Cook yelling commands to the crew. I saw 94 people on the ship and Captain James Cook was holding the steering wheel. The milking goats were fighting with their long horns.

When I first got on the deck Captain Cook told me to put my uniform on. I hurriedly put on my white blouse and blue baggy breeches on and then I was ready to work on the Endeavour. I scrubbed the dustiest and dirtiest deck in the whole of England! I had fun excercising with the guns. When my clothes got ripped I had to mend them myself.

Last night when the waves were rolling I felt so seasick that I threw up in the bucket.

Louis story about Kupe's journey

Louis retells the story of Kupe and his voyage to Aotearoa. He has used really descriptive language and his voice is really clear.

Mighty Mariners movie

We have been learning all about how the mighty warrior Kupe journeyed from Hawaiiki and was the first person to call it Aoeotearoa 'The land of the long white cloud' as that was what he saw on his arrival. They also learned all about how other islanders have voyaged here and with what. They have done a fantastic job of their drawings, animations and writing. Well done Room 6 keep up the good work.

Room 6 goals for Term 3

Room 6 have been working really hard in Term 3 and have been learning heaps! Listen to them sharing what their goals are for Term 3.

Louis' favourite thing.

Louis has written about dinosaurs which are his favourite, most interesting topic. He reads with a clear voice and has used some really interesting words to capture your imagination. Well done Luois

Room 6 Volcano movies.

As you know Room 6 have been learning all about volcanoes. For this movie the children had to remember what caused a volcano to erupt and how it erupted. This is the first time the children have animated their work and they have done a really good job. Well done Room 6.

Who am I? - Part 2

The children are describing a different animal this time. See if you can guess before you see the picture at the end!

Who am I?

In Term 1 we have been learning to describe farm animals using 'clever' words. Have a listen and see if you can guess what animal the children are describing before you see the picture at the end.
