The Hawkes Bay Show

The crowd goes wild at the Hawke’s Bay show! I saw the spooky ghost train. It had vampires and monsters. It was scary. Then I went on the clown circus, it had rolling barrels and there was a big slide at the end. It was awesome.

After that, I went on the merry-go-round. I went on the pony that went up and down. Then I went on the big slides, they were bumpy and I went by myself. It was fantastic. 


Next I had lunch and I had a hot dog, coloured pop corn and candy floss. It was delicious. After that we went to the petting zoo. There was a 5 legged lamb, a calf and goats.

Bridge Maps

We have been super thinkers and have been getting our heads around the tricky concept of analogies. To help us, we have been using a Bridge Map. An analogy is a big word, but it has a fun meaning. Analogies are all about figuring out how things go together, or are related. Today we looked at our Habits of Mind posters, and matched them with the 'Rocket' Habit. We were able to give some fantastic examples of our Habits in action, using words that we are familiar with like 'having a go' and 'thinking together.'
