Some Super Spring Writing: Part one

Are you ready for a spring search? Because yesterday morning Room 16 went for a spring tour to see what was flowering in St Albans school.

The thorns on the rose bushes are like rhinoceros horns, their sharp barbs are like a spike from a dragon’s tail, and the flowers are as red as a stripe from a rainbow.

Clouds, the clouds remind me of my blanky - it came in one piece, but now it’s in... actually I don’t know how many pieces it’s in. 

I saw some daffodils in the garden, the orange and yellow light up like a lightbulb. 

Room Sixteen was inspired by the walk.

Suspicious Room Sixteen looked for signs of spectacular spring in the school. They discovered that at St Albans school, spring has sprung.

High to the side of a tree the birds were squawking like elephants. The birds were making nests for their eggs.

Summer sports look fun. Room 16 like the look of cricket games. There are lots of flowers here and there, and it looks beautiful. Room 16 are glad that spring has come at last. It has promised summer is coming.

The fantabulous spring has sprouted at last. No snow, not one bit. So Room 16 went for a walk around the school to find spring things.

They got their note books and set off on the trail. The clouds looked like a farm yard with baby animals and thousands of flowers, including a Kowhai tree, and that’s what they saw next.

The Kowhai blossoms looked like little caterpillar chrysalises. There were no puddles on the ground, so that’s why Room 16 loves Spring. 

COME ON SUMMER. The fantastic summer.

Haere Ra Sunhui

Room Sixteen have had a South Korean teacher for the last two weeks. Today is Sunhui's last day in Room Sixteen. The children in the class are making her a Goodbye card.
On the card the children are drawing something to do with South Korea and most are drawing a picture of themselves.
All the kids are sad that Sunhui is going back to South Korea, and most want to go with her.
