Immersion Assembly
As Team 4 teachers walked onto the stage, people giggled at Mr. Barks. He was the queen bee and kept asking the workers to do jobs. Whenever he said "wait for it", a baby would appear! Mrs. Squires was one of the workers and she fed her bee jelly while the rest of them cooled him down. Team 4 was very funny!
Team 3 Does A Great Job!
During assembly, Team 3 were up and ready to do their intriguing performance. They were splendidly good as they showed off with their buggy costumes. While they were performing, they were sharing information about the colours on other kinds of ladybugs. We enjoyed their part of the show, but what was your favorite?

Vikings
This term we have been studying Mighty Mariners.I am learning about a viking who is named Eric the Red.
Eric the Red is a viking explorer,who was born in 950c Southern Norway and died in 1003 in Iceland.(Greenland)He was banished from Norway for three years because he killed 3-4 people.He has a son named Leif Erikson who was born in Iceland.(Greenland)
One of his challengers he faced was when he had to go back to Norway and tell someone that he found a new land and brought them back with him.Another one was that he had to choose to die or leave Norway.The very last was he had to take charge of his son.
Leif was born in about 970c and died in 1020.He had two brothers,Thorvald and Thorsteinn and a half sister Freydis.When he grew up he married a woman named Thorgunna and they had one son,Thorkell Leifsson.
Thank you for reading my story,I hoped you learnt something.

My Favourite Fruit

Plums, mangoes and oranges are my favourite fruits. I like them because they taste delicious!
I like plums because they taste delicious and because they are sweet. Oranges are very tasty and juicey! Mangoes are very soft and yummy. The thing I don’t like mangoes are the seeds in the middle.
The fruit I don’t like are bananas. I don’t like bananas because have a nice taste. Bananas sometimes make me sick.
I wouldn’t want to be a fruit because I wouldn’t want to be eaten. The fruit that I really wouldn’t want to be is an apple.
