Brightening Our Room

Placemat Days “Have you heard the story of the Pied Piper,” said Mrs Bryant quietly. “No, I haven’t actually,” said I. “Well it’s about time you learnt it,” said Mrs Bryant in a shocked voice. But before I tell you that story, I have to tell you this story. Everyone on the mat bunched together, ready to listen to Mrs Bryant. “Today we will be making placemats from crepe paper,” said Mrs Bryant. Yeeesss!!! hissed the class. Firstly we had to choose a colour of crepe paper, I chose blue and red. Secondly we placed crepe paper on our A2 piece of paper to get the picture of what we wanted. “We’re going to use the magic brew,” said Mrs Bryant. “What is the magic brew?” said part of the class. “I think it’s vinegar,” said Margeaux. “Correct,” said Mrs Bryant. “Right what we’re going to do is put the magic brew over the crepe paper, so the brew will go through on to your paper!” said Mrs Bryant. Lawson, my friend, came over and looked at mine. “It’s good,” said Lawson. “Thank you,” said I. Once we finished the bell rang. “We will carry on with this tomorrow.” The next day we went onto the ipad to print 2013 for our placemat. We had to make it really big so it could be able to be seen from a distance. When nearly everyone was done we put hoiho pictures onto our placemat. I chose a small penguin, medium and large. I thought it was fun and exciting. Jacob

Whomph, whomph, whomph

Hoiho class played tennis. First we made Burgers. What you need to do is put a racket and a ball on top of each other. And then we played Three Lives. I will tell you how to play. You hit the ball and start a rally and try to not get out. You get out by missing the ball or hitting it out and then the person on the side comes in and plays. We did Around the World. Blake Hey, a few weeks ago Hoiho class did some tennis games. We had to bounce the ball on tennis rackets and catch it. For the second game we made a hamburger, not a real hamburger, a hamburger made out of tennis balls and rackets. The last game we played was Three Lives. Once someone lost three lives they were out and someone took their place. The coach’s name is Koilee. It was really fun. Julian Whomph, whomph, whomph on PhotoPeach
