A short story by Amy

Sally the Trouble Maker

By Amy

Once upon a time there was a little girl called Sally. Sally was a huge trouble maker. She would always get in trouble at home and at school. This was because she hated her teacher Miss Brodie and her teacher hated her, and she got in trouble at home because she did what she wanted to do and she didn’t listen.

One day Sally did something really naughty. She threw a basketball at Miss Brodie. Sally got in so much trouble; Miss Brodie arranged a meeting with Sally’s mother. Miss Brodie asked Sally’s mother if Sally could move to a different class because she was causing too much trouble.

Straight away Sally’s mother replied “No way, if my child bothers you why don’t you move to a different class and you just don’t want to deal with my daughter.”

Miss Brodie didn’t agree with what Sally’s mother said and she got really annoyed. She got so annoyed that she started a fight. Sally’s mother wished she had never said what she said because Miss Brodie threw punches and she screeched and roared every word she said.

After a few minutes the principle heard the noise and hurried down to Miss Brodie’s room.

“What is going on in here” shouted the principle.

“Well that mother told me to move to a different class or to deal with her child” replied Miss Brodie.

“Well that mother is right because if you dislike the children in your class, you shouldn’t be a teacher” bellowed the principle.

“Are you saying what I think you are saying” yelled Miss Brodie.

“I sure am. You are fired.”

procedural writing in action

In Room 2 we have been studying procedural writing. We wrote recipes using language features specific to procedural text. We included a purpose, ingredients list, method, with individual steps in chronological order and used active verbs. Upon completion we had the opportunity to make our fruit concoctions / smoothies. It was a really successful afternoon of fun learning and a good opportunity to work cooperatively with our class mates.

Netsafe - Keeping Safe on the Internet

Hi everyone, I thought I would put on the blog the websites and information that was in the newsletter on the 3rd of September. These sites are very informative and the tips about reading the terms and conditions is extremely helpful. Hope this is useful. Miss J.

Two useful websites to help us are http://www.netsafe.org.nz/ and
http://www.thecybersafetylady.com.au/ and below is some useful tips:-
1) How to keep your kids safe on Minecraft:
 http://thecybersafetylady.com.au/2014/08/a-parents-guide-to-minecraft/
2) If your child wants to register for an online game, check the Terms & Conditions for the age
 limitation first. When you are reading the Terms & Conditions you can do a search using
 Ctrl F on a Windows laptop or Command F on a MAC laptop to find ‘age’ or ‘limitations’.
3) Talk to your child about what makes a good digital citizen. The same core values apply
 online. So for example “respect each other”, add the word “online”.
4) Videos/Quizzes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79IYZVYIVLA This is a video which
 goes through what a person's dossier looks like throughout the entire life starting in the
 womb! Digital footprint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DinW62zlWcc. We like to
 talk about our digital footprint as our ‘digital tattoo’.
 This is a great “How Cyber Smart Are You?” quiz

5) This is a website which talks about the importance of having breaks and some suggested
 exercises to do http://web.stanford.edu/dept/EHS/prod/general/ergo/microbreaks.html
