The Three Little Pigs, By Logan

25.11.15

Dear  Logan

You know the story of the three little pigs?... well it's not like that!

The huff and puff thing was because I had a terrible sneezing cold, and the reason the first two houses fell down was because they were weak. The pigs were dead so I ate them so they didn't get wasted. When the newspaper pig reporters found out about the pigs I ate, they didn’t think a wolf with a cold sounded interesting so they jazzed up the story with all the big bad wolf stuff and took me to jail. I was framed!

Stories with groupings to 10

Sand 1 have been practising their groupings to 10...they made up stories to go along with their groupings of 10.

Once upon a time there were 10 beautiful red swans. They were separated into two lakes. 5 in one lake and 5 in another lake. 1 of the swans missed her friends so they had a play date so now there were 6 in one lake and 4 in another.

There were 4 small dolphins in one swimming pool and 6 larger dolphins in another. 1 of the small dolphins went to see the bigger dolphins to ask if they wanted the others to come over. So all of the small dolphins said yes but 1 was left behind so there are now 9 dolphins in one swimming pool and 1 small dolphin on the other side. One of the big dolphins came back and brought the small dolphin over so now there are 10.

Once upon a time there was 10 dinosaurs and 1 went away to another tribe and another 1 went to join him. So now there's 2 in one tribe and 8 in the other.

Singing

Here we are practising our waiata for assembly this week "Tai Aroha". We have been practising for a long time and hope that you are able to come and watch us on Friday.
