                       The Mine Craft Adventure

Chapter 1

Once upon a time there lived three kids called Hero Brian, stampy and Steve ,they all spawned at the same place. One day when Hero Brian was picking flowers ,he saw a remarkable cave so he called his brothers and went in.  After they went in they started 
to break some Cole and cobble-stone.Then the brothers made torches and some pix-axes.  Next they went and started hunting.The first thing they found was iron.

Chapter 2 


When the brothers were looking for diamond and emerald they spotted a temple so they went in. The sign said not to go in but they went in anyway. When they went in they saw lots of black things with purple eyes it was 100,000,000 ender mans. Luckily they had ender pearls so they teleported back and had some apples and potatoes to health up. One day morning the diamond mine-cart came and said ''It's my birthday today", so the brothers said ''yeah'' and kept on sleeping. When the brothers woke up they went to the movies and the kids watched the mind world. The brothers were amazed at how much ore there was under ground. While the brothers were walking home the brothers saw some zombies so they got out their iron swords and started fighting. Then they went back home and went to sleep.

Chapter3
The next day when the brothers woke up they went and had a nice cup of tea. Then they planned to make the end portal so they did. After making the end portal so they did.  After making the end portal they forgot to bring their diamond amour so they went home got some diamond amour and went to the end.  When the brothers got there they spawned in the middle of the ender dragon so while the brothers were  riding the ender dragon they were killing it.So the brothers lived hapily ever after. Or did they.

The Girl With Too Many Pets - By Imogen 24.08.15

The Girl With Too Many Pets

Once upon a time there lived a girl called Lily. Lily had 2 cats, 1 fish, 4 dogs, 2 rabbits and a guinea pig. Lily's parents did not like her pets so one night Lily crept out of the house and into the wood with all her pets behind her.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Soon she came across a cave and decided to sleep there. Later on she fell asleep with her pets beside her. In the morning Lily woke to the sound of birds.At first she could not remember where she was.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Next she decided to go for a walk. Soon she came across a little spring. Lily kneeled down and sipped the delicious cool water. After that she felt much better and had breakfast. Later on Lily became very lonely. Despite her pets company she had no-one to talk to.The next day                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        On the way she saw a fox  and ran off the path to have a closer look. Soon the fox jumped across a ditch. Lily wondered how to get across. In  the end she saw it was impossible and returned home.Her parents were overjoyed to see her and were never mean to her pets again.

Five Little Pumpkins. A poem by Jack

Five little pumpkins sitting on a gate
The first one said "Oh my its getting late"
The second one said "We don't care" 
The third one said "I see witches in the air"
The fourth one said "Let's run and run"
The fifth one said "Get ready for some fun"
So whoosh went the wind 
And out went the lights 
And the five little pumpkins rolled out of sight!

Kelly Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium. By Dino

                    Kelly Tarlton's  Sea Life Aquarium

On Friday the 26 of June the whole of Pohutukawa went to Kelly
Tarlton's Sea Life Aquarium.  Room15 was the first to go onto the bus and be the first to be at Kelly Tarlton's. We saw some big fish and we saw stingrays. We sat down and we ate our morning tea. After that we went to the tunnel and we saw a school of sharks and a sand tiger shark. I saw five sea turtles and I saw a snapper and a crayfish. We went three rounds in the tunnel. Then when we finished we went to learn about unpolluted water and polluted water. Then we went to go to the fish. After that we went to see the stingray feed. The stingrays were scary when they went up. Then we had our lunch. After we went and saw the penguins. When we went back to school it was the end of the day.

BULLING BY SILVIE .23.07.15.

Bullying is something we don't want.  It is mean and it can hurt people's feelings.  People have hurt people by bullying.  They punch and kick so don't be friends with a bully.  Bullies can swear but they shouldn't.  If you see one just walk away. Bullies can make people sad and and angry.  Bullies are sometimes tell tales, even though they do mean things, so don't you be a bully.

Term 3 Pohutukawa Learning Overview

Sparrows

Sparrows are city street birds as well as city garden birds. Because sparrows are small they can move 
quickly in and out through outdoor tables and chairs where people sit eating food. Here they peck up crumbs of food from the ground. 

Sparrows visit city gardens in small flocks, eating food scraps left out for them on bird tables or on grass. 

They make nests in shrubby trees and under safe, sheltered ledges.
