The big moment...

12/12/12 12:12 Party!

We had a great time today at our 12/12/12 party!

We played a fun 12/12/12 board game, where we had to do activities if we landed on a polar bear like name 12 of our favourite foods or say an addition question when the answer is 12.

We had to complete a 12/12/12 word search and see how many times we could find the word 'TWELVE' in the puzzle.

We played buzz with multiples of 12, and '21' but instead of having to sit down if you say "21" you had to sit down if you said "12".

We learnt fun facts about the number 12.

We played cool maths games when we had to find factors of 12 and number pairs that add to 12.

(Here are the links) Number Bonds 12   Math Lines 12

We counted down to 12:12 and then we played our Secret Santa game, which was loads of fun.

We enjoyed a delicious shared lunch too.

Thank you families for supporting us to have such an amazing celebration day!

Amity's Fairy Tale Rhyme

Snow White

Oh, Snow White so pretty and fine,

But her mum was such a swine.

While Snow White did all the work,

Her mum just acted like a jerk!

She looked in the mirror to see her face,

And what she saw was a disgrace.

She asked the mirror “who is fairest of them all”.

The mirror replied “Not you but do not bawl”.

Snow White is now the new heir,

No more are you very fair.

“I won’t have it the angry queen said,

And she thought with lots of dread.

I can’t have it she must be dead!

She sent a hunter very brave,

So she could build Snow’s grave.

But the hunter had mercy for poor Snow White,

And disobeyed the vicious queen’s plight.

He told her to hide in the woods not at home,

So she left feeling scared and all alone.

She found a cottage in a meadow very green,

But the cottage itself was not very clean.

After vigorous cleaning she felt very tired,

Then the dwarfs saw Snow White and behold she was hired.

The queen found her and gave her an apple so red,

As soon she bit it she fell down quite dead.

But a prince came by and saw Snow White,

As soon as he saw her it was love at first sight.

He gave her a loving stonking beautiful kiss,

She opened her eyes and was alive ‘Cause of this.

  They got married and lived happily ever after,

But never found out what happened to her father.

Ciao!

SNOW WHITE

On a sunny Wednesday morning in 1973 Snow White the evil queen had bought a handsome taniwha huntsman who would hunt the old evil queen who was now the good queen named Eve but eventually they failed.

“I’m sorry I failed Snow White” said the taniwha huntsman “I need to kill the good queen Eve”. “Huntsman try again and bring me back her head” said Snow White. “Ok” said the huntsman.

The huntsman never wanted to do this job but his father forced him so the huntsman set off.

“I wonder what the evil queen is doing probably trying to kill me” said the good queen Eve. “I guess so” said a small little voice. It was a small villager her name was Vicky.

“Hello can you please come with me to pick some flax and make some flowers out of the flax but watch out for the taniwha huntsman” said Eve.

“Wow look at those poor flowers” said Vicky. “Poo what’s that smell” said Vicky again. “It smells like smoke said Eve. And out of nowhere there was a dim and dark shadow.  “What’s that” said Vicky. “ROORH” said the shadow in fact it was a humongous taniwha huntsman.

“Kia ora the evil queen Snow White sent me here to kill you” said the huntsman. “Why” said Eve. “Don’t know” said the huntsman. “Can you please help me” said Eve. “No” said the huntsman. “I have candy and puha” said Eve. “Ok” said the huntsman “but can I have some kumara and toitoi for my cave”  “alright” said Eve.

“WHERE’S HER HEAD!!!!!” cried the evil queen, “sorry but I brought back some candy and puha also kumara and toitoi can I get a high five” said the huntsman. “NO! Get back to work” said Snow White. “Saddo where does an awesome man get some respect around here” said the huntsman. “Ahh” said Snow White. “Release the army” said Snow White. “ stop rushing” BOOM CRASH BANG “poow what’s that smell” yelled everyone “did you really have to do that while we were in war” “sorry” said one of the men “hurry up and get on to it” said Snow White “yes some men are down” said Snow White but eventually someone shot Snow White.

Now there was happiness through the town.

3 Little Wolves and the Big Bad Pig

Once upon a time on a boiling summer day there were three little wolves, one was Susan who was three, Lucy who was five and Lily who was nine. Then their mother said “you are old enough to go and make your own houses” so they went off to find their gear.

First Susan saw a girl delivering towels she asked “can I please have some towels” the delivery girl said “ok what’s your name” Susan said “my name is Susan my sisters have gone to make a house so I thought that I will make a house out of sticks and towels”.

So the delivery woman gave Susan some sticks from a clothes line and some pegs then the delivery woman was off into her truck down the road. The little pig went into a grassy plain and pushed the sticks into the ground. She put the towels on top of her big hut and pushed the pegs into the ground like you make a tent. There was a big gap so she made a door, Susan liked being clean.

Then along came Big Bad Pig. He said “Let me in, Let me in” Susan said “Not by the hair of my little skinny back” He trampled and bit and chewed the house down, then he chased the little wolf down a  hill and into a tree. The little wolf stayed there a long, long time.

Meanwhile Lucy was running around a tree after a rabbit. She tripped over and the rabbit ran away. Lucy went to make a house she saw a lad carrying some bars of soap Lucy asked “Can I please use some soap for my house?” the lad laughed and said “Yeah Bro” so Lucy got 100 bars of soap and went to go next to her sisters wrecked house to build her house. She used the soap as bricks and soon she was left with a big, big, and big house with furniture. 

But …Along came the Big Bad Pig, He said “Let me in, Let me in” Lucy said “Not by the hair of my little skinny back. The Pig trampled and bit and chewed   the house down. Then the Big Bad Pig chased Lucy all the way down the hill to a tree next to Susan.

Last of all Lilly saw a girl and a boy who had millions of bathtubs. Lilly asked “Can I please have some bathtubs?” The girl said “Oh you are so cute OF COURSE!!” The boy said “Only Twenty okay?” So Lilly said okay and took the bathtubs next to a flower bed. She picked flowers to put all over her house.

But … Along came the Big Bad Pig he said “Let me in, Let me in.” Lilly said “Not by the hair on my little skinny back.” So the pig trampled and chewed it but it didn’t budge and he bit it but it didn’t crack. He tried to climb through the chimney like Santa Claus though he’d eaten too many little wolves in the past and he was pretty fat. He got stuck up the chimney, so that gave him time for Lilly to get the cauldron ready. She boiled it and it started to melt the soap! The pig finally got through and fell in the cauldron. He went through screeching his head off and fell in the pot with a SSSSSSSS! And a big splash. The other wolves heard the splash and came running. They celebrated by singing and of course eating pig stew. THE END!

Caleb's Narrative

The 3 little wolves and the big bad pig 

Once up on a time there were 3 little wolves Caleb, Matthew and Jackson there was also a big bad pig whose name was Brianna. She was out looking for her lunch.

Caleb, Jackson and Matthew were playing around lazily in the sun. Caleb was playing with his toy plane Matthew was playing with his toy truck and Jackson was playing with his toy gun ‘let’s go and build our own houses’ said Caleb so they all went to build their own houses.

Jackson found a man caring wood. So he got some wood from the man. He quickly built a house. “This house is awesome” said Jackson. “I will live in this house forever” said Jackson.

Suddenly a huge shadow loomed over the house. It was the BIG BAD PIG. The pig knocked on the door. “Little wolf, little wolf let me come in” he boomed. “Ok” said the little wolf. The pig charged for the door. The door crashed to the ground and the pig got stuck in the doorway because she was so fat.

Jackson ran out the back door and straight to Matthew’s house which was made of straw. When he got there he looked back at his house which had just been knocked down by Brianna the BIG BAD PIG. Jackson knocked on the door, he ran inside and told Matthew what had happened. Then Matthew calmed Jackson down.

 BANG, BANG suddenly the house fell down and Jackson and Matthew ran to Caleb’s house, opened the door and ran inside. “Caleb is not home” said Matthew. Suddenly an Aston Martin DB5 drove up to the house. The wolves hopped in and found Caleb then they all drove off and lived happily ever after.
