This term we have been learning about how to deal with situations that make us feel miserable or can get out of control.  The solution to theses problem situations is to use our...

We also learnt about our feelings and how they Look, Sound and Feel but most of all we learnt about how we respond to other people we are feeling a particular way.

Positive responses to other people when we are feeling Mad, Sad or Hungry will always have a better outcome than responding in a negative way.

This week we will be learning about being the Best Friend we can be!  To get us started in our search for the Key Ingredients we will watch this video.





Now it is time to make our own Friendship Soup Recipe!

Question of the Week - Week 9

Inspiring Independent Research...


The New Dragon Rider

Annabeth was terrified of myths and legends.  They made her want to scream.  That was until she found Arya.  Arya? Who's that you might ask.  Well here's the answer, Arya is Annabeth's dragon.

Annabeth was riding Arya when suddenly they sensed the presence of another dragon.  Then she found Kat and Carter.  They all decided to go and try to defeat the turned dragon rider, Galbatorix.

On their way to meet Galbatorix, they had to hop off their dragons.  They ran quickly into a corner and as they turned the corner.
"Hello dragon riders!"  The shade Durza said maliciously.

The Puzzle

Creek!  Went the attic trap door as I climbed in carefully.  I was looking for an old story book for my little sister's show and tell.

A strange and powerful light started to flicker from behind a dusty crate.  I slowly pulled the crate out and tried to grab the source of the light.  I picked it up and it was a thousand piece puzzle.

I tried to drop it but my hands wouldn't let it go.  It was as if my hands were glued to it.  Suddenly my hand rapidly opened the box and made me puzzle the puzzle.

By the time Mum was calling me down for dinner, my hand had one corner piece left.  As I turned the corner piece I realised 'my' story was only just beginning!

The Scary Street

I'm scared to get out of my car in this scary street. The unknown shadow movements intimidates me to turn around and go home to my nice warm bed. The movement of bushes cast the scariest shadows of all time along with reflections of the old school crossing that's never been used.

It's very silent, the only sound is the rain dripping down from the drains on the roof of houses. Some of the lights are flickering in the pattern of a song. There is also a very steep hill that has a slippery slopped road. I started to do a U turn when I saw a man approaching my car. I was terrified and with out any hesitation I forced my foot onto the accelerator and zoomed home.

Do think about your story before you start to write. A plan can help make sure you get in all your ideas and that they make sense. When you have written it, ‘mumble’ read it to yourself to check that it says what you think it does!
