Retel of "The three little Pigs"

 Retell of the “Three little Pigs”

Once upon a time there lived three middle-aged pigs living with their dear mother. It was time for them to move out of their mother's house and start their own life. They made their own house. The first pig made their house out of straw. The second pig made theirs out of sticks and the third one made theirs out of bricks. Obviously the brick one would be the most stable. A few hours after they all finished building their houses they were all relaxed in their new houses. Hours passed and a wolf came along and decided to manipulate them into eating them.

 He knocked on the door of the first pigs saying, “Little pig, little pig let me in”! “Not by the hairs on my chin”! replied the first pig with anger in his voice. “Then I’ll huff and puff and I’ll blow your house down”! said the wolf as he blew the house of straw down. The first pig sped off into the second pigs house in fear. The second pig welcomed the first pig into his house of sticks.  

The same thing happens to the second pig. “Little pigs, little pigs let me in”! shouted the wolf in anger. “Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chins”! replied the two pigs in fear.“Then I’ll huff and puff and I’ll blow your house down”! yelled the wolf in anger as he blew the house down. As he was doing so he watched the two pigs run to the house of bricks.

 The wolf followed the first two pigs to the house of bricks. The third pig invited the two pigs into the house, in a hurry they slammed the door on the wolf. “Little pigs, little pigs let me in”! commanded the wolf. “Not by the hairs on our chinny chin chins”! The three pigs replied with confidence. The wolf unknowingly replied with, “Then I’ll huff and puff, and I’ll blow your house down”! He shouted as he attempted to blow the house of bricks down. He tried a second time to blow the house down but failed again.  “Why can’t I blow down your house”! The wolf asked in frustration. The wolf got tired and so he stopped.

 “I have a plan”. “I have a plan”.The wolf told himself as he climbed into the chimney of the house made of bricks. As he fell into the chimney he noticed that he was going to fall and burn in the fireplace. Luckily for him he had been caught by the three little pigs. The pigs let him go upon the condition that if he tried to eat them again, then they would do something more harmful to the wolf.  The pigs lived happily ever after.

My Tivaevae Mat

This is my Tivaevae Mat. 

I used two coloured papers, scissors, pencil or pen, glue and a craft knife    

I am not pleased with my Tivaevae Mat because it doesn't look very neat

I found this task difficult because I had to cut really small designs.

I made my Tivaevae mat by

Folding the paper diagonally

Cutting out the extra paper

Folding the square paper into quarters or eighths 

Drawing a design on your paper

Using a craft knife to help me cut out the smaller designs in the middle

Unfolding the paper with your design on it

Getting out the second coloured paper. Gluing the paper with my pattern onto it. Then trimming any excess paper.

 Here is the finished result

    

Cloud in a jar. By Ayla

  

This week Room 1 and I did an experiment of making a cloud in a jar. If you want to know how to do the experiment, check the presentation.

Watercare Recount

Hook:

“Oh come on”! I yelled because we had to go back into class early for our Watercare session. I didn’t know how interesting (but gross) it could be. 

Orientation:

The lady who was going to teach us about Watercare had introduced herself. “Hello everyone! My name is Sarah and I’m going to be teaching you about Watercare!” Sarah said with a big smile and a loud voice. She then asked, “I’m a member of Water care, what are the two most important things I do for my work?”. I raised my hand with a few other classmates and she chose me. 

“Umm, uhh, you treat the water?” I said with a nervous voice. “Yes we do”, Sarah replies. After she said that I took a sigh of relief. “What is the other thing we do though”? Someone replied but I forgot what it was. Sarah mentioned that she was an educator and she didn’t do all the other things that she’s going to mention later.

“Okay, so first I am going to show you what the toilets were like in the olden days” Sarah said. She showed a picture of a hotel on Queens Street. The toilets were called “Chamber pots”. Sarah told us how they worked by saying that the chamber pot would be under people's beds with a towel covering it. While the people who used the chamber pots were asleep, the workers called the chambermaids who would come inside the room. They would take the chamber pot and chuck the waste outside into a river. Then she went on and talked about the toilets in houses. There used to be a shed near the house where a bucket with newspaper would be. The owners of the house would just do their “business” in the bucket. After that they would wipe their bottom with newspaper and put them back. Late at night men with horses would take the bucket and throw all the pees and poops into a random area. 

“Finally”! I shouted in my head because it felt like forever since we went outside. Our class following Sarah were walking to the front of the library to do an experiment with powdery light rocks, watering cans with water, a blackboard and a plastic sheet. It was in three groups of nine or eight. We had to put the rocks on the blackboard like mountains and when we were all done Sarah told us to put the plastic sheet over the rocks. When  we were done we had to watch the other groups pour the water inside the watering can onto the sheet. The goal was to see how many rivers and streams went off the sheet. As we watched the other groups some people started fighting over who poured the water onto the sheet. Finally, it was our turn and Trelia had poured the water and three streams spilt off the sheet. 

Conclusion:

Overall I thought that was very interesting to learn about the water. It was worth it to end lunch early for Watercare.
