Kelly sports
On Tuesday Room 3 went to Kelly Sports I went on the soccer first. I enjoyed the Soccer the most. The Cricket was the hardest but I did it.
Kelly sports
Today on the 13.10.09 my class went to Kelly Sports it was fun and we did lots of things like Soccer, Rugby, Cricket and races. My favourite sport was Rugby. At the end we got stickers and I was one of the people that got to do a demo. I also got picked for the best smile- that was funny!
Kelly sports
Today Bryce and Caitlin came from Kelly Sports to talk to us about their after school programme. They showed us what we would do if we joined the after school programme. It was really fun!!! We did stuff like basket ball, rugby, soccer, cricket and two activities about running - one was a race and the other one was where you held a hula hoop over your head and ran to one side and then go through it. After that you put it back over you head then run to the other side.
My favourite thing was the basket ball. It was funny because when we did the race they said they won when they came last and every time they asked a question we shouted the answer. At the start my class got there first and when room 6 came we shouted “hurry up slow pokes!”

Scary Sisters
All night I had been waiting for this moment. It was pitch black dark. I saw some shadows and I got up. My net was all ready. The shadows grew bigger. I was really awake now. I saw something, I caught it! It was only my little sister. The lights flicked on. My little sister laughed so much she woke Mum and Dad! Mum and Dad laughed when they heard what happened. Soon we were all in the kitchen having a midnight feast. Once that had finished we went back to bed. In the morning there was laughter at school, but I didn't mind!

Also I learnt that the Long-finned eel was endangered. Also I learnt lots about shags and how annoying they were. Then we went to the theatre room to make birds out of clay. It took about forty-five minutes. But then we had to leave. I can't wait till we go again!
Five days ago I went to an orchestra from Christchurch. My class went there and people from the orchestra ensemble played the Simpsons for them. It was loud I blocked my ears but I could still hear it, it was cool listening to it.Then a person from the Orchestra side after the people in the orchestra had finished the songs we wrote have queshin a person side how loud can you go and one of them was really loud it hurt my ears.

Suter Gallery
Last week room three went to the Suter Gallery.
We had to go with a buddy.
When we got there it was amazing it was pretty big.
There was this woman who introduced her self but I can't remember her name.
First we sat on the mat we went with Jonathan not Sue also with some parents.
My dad came.
So we sat on the mat and the woman talked to us about the exhibition that was on.
The exhibition was all about animals so we talked in our groups and decided what was good about birds.
We had to remember one of them and put it on these birds we were going to make.
It was cool because we made them in the stage room.
After we made them we couldn't take them home straight away because they had to be cooked.
When we were on our way back we went through the Queens Gardens and saw all of these coins in the water.
I can't wait until I go again!

The Elves and the Shoemaker - Luke
Long ago there was a Shoemaker who was very poor and his wife was too. They lived in a village with no money. They only had enough leather to make one pair of shoes. A rich lady came in to buy a pair of shoes. The rich lady bought the pair of shoes and gave him five silver coins. Then he had enough money to buy food and two pieces of leather to make two pairs of shoes. He laid out the leather and went to bed. The Elves came in and set to work. In the morning there were two pairs of lovely fine shoes. A rich man came in and bought the two pairs of lovely shoes. He had enough money to buy four pairs of shoes. He laid out the four pairs of leather and went to bed. That night the Elves came in and set to work. The next morning there were four pairs of lovely shoes. A rich man came in and bought the pairs of shoes. It happened over and over again. They wanted to find out who is making the shoes. They stayed up at night and watched who did it.

Autumn
Chilly frosty coldish days
with red yellow and golden leaves
softly, swishing, spiralling
slowly to the ground.

The Elves and the Shoemaker - Jenna
Once upon a time there was a friendly shoemaker. He was very poor. His wife was starving. They lived in a small village. He looked around his workshop and found there was just enough leather to make one pair of shoes. He cut up the leather and went to bed. In the morning he found a fine pair of shoes. He was very surprised. He showed the shoes to his wife. She was extremely surprised. Later in the day a rich woman came in the shop. She put the shoes on. “They fit perfectly”, said the woman. “I will give you 4 pieces of silver for the shoes”. With 4 pieces of silver he could enough food for his wife and him and enough leather for 2 pairs of shoes. He cut out the leather and went to bed. In the morning he saw there were 2 pairs of fine shoes. A rich man came in the shop. He loved the shoes so much he bought both. So each day rich people came and bought the shoes. Soon the shoemaker and his wife were rich too. This kept on going until one night at dinner time the shoemaker said to his wife “Someone has been making our shoes all this time and we still don’t know who it is.” “Why don’t we stay up and watch” said his wife. After dinner they lit a candle and hid behind the counter. Eventually 2 elves dressed in rags came in. Instantly they set to work. Once they had finished they polished them until they shone in the moonlight. As soon as they finished they left in a hurry. In the morning the shoemaker said to his wife “How can we repay them?” “Well, why don’t you make some little shoes for them and I will knit 2 little caps and some clothes.” So from that day on the shoemaker helped his wife to make all sorts of clothes for the elves. On Christmas Eve everything stood in a neat pile. In came the elves. They looked at each other very surprised when they realized the presents were for them. They took off their old clothes and put on their new ones. As they ran out the door they sang “Oh what handsome boys we are, we will work on shoes no more.”
The Elves and the Shoemaker- Leo
A long time ago there was a very nice shoemaker and his wife. They made very good leather shoes but they were very poor. They lived in a shop with no money or food. They only had enough leather to make one pair of shoes. He cut the leather out and put it on his workbench then went to bed. In the morning he came down to his workbench and saw a really nice pair of shoes. They were polished too. There was a rich lady who came in and brought the pair of shoes for five silver coins. That was enough to buy some food and some leather. He cut the leather out and the same thing happened again every night. He was wondering who was doing it. He and his wife stayed up all night waiting to see who was helping. Then he saw two elves come skipping through the door and go to the work bench. They went straight to work. When they were finished the shoes were shining in the moonlight. Then they rushed away out the door. The shoemaker said “the elves were doing such a great job for us. I think we should make new clothes for them.” The shoemaker’s wife knitted some caps for them while the shoemaker was making some shoes. A few days later they were finished. They wrapped them up for the elves. Later on that night they put them on the workbench. Then the elves walked in and went to the workbench. All they saw was a pile of presents wrapped up. They noticed that they were for them so they unwrapped the presents and they saw nice clothes. They stripped off their rags and put the new clothes on and said to each other that they would never be shoemakers again!

Along time ago there was a shoemaker and his wife. They were so poor that they didn’t have anything to eat. The shoemaker only had enough leather for one pair of shoes. So he cut the leather and placed it on the table and went straight up to bed. In the morning there was a beautiful pair of shoes on the table. Then a rich woman came in and bought the shoes. Next the shoemaker put two pairs of leather on the table. He said to his wife we must find out who has made all these shoes for us. His wife had an idea. She said “we’ll hide behind the counter and wait.” So they did and they saw two little elves. In the morning the shoe maker said to his wife we should give the elves some presents. So they started knitting some clothes and wrapped them up. At night the elves came in and saw the presents. They took their clothes off and sang “We’re never going to make shoes again.”

Long, long ago in an old village lived a poor old shoe maker and his old but lovely wife. He didn’t have enough money to buy any food for him and his wife so they were sad. The shoe maker only had enough leather to make one pair of shoes. He cut the leather out very carefully and when to bed. He got up and went to his shop and there on his bench was one pair of fine shoes. The shoes had very fine but little stitches and they were polished until they shone in the sun light. That day a very rich lady came to buy some shoes. The shoe maker showed the lady the shoes that he had found on his work bench. The lady tried the shoes on and said they fitted perfectly!!! She gave the old shoe maker 7 pieces of very shiny silver for the shoes. That meant he had enough money to buy leather for two pairs of shoes and food for him and his wife. He cut out the leather as he did before and went to before. When he woke up he found two lovely pair of shoes made perfectly again so he brought more food and enough leather for 4 pairs of shoes. He cut the leather out very carefully and went to bed. The next morning it happened again and a rich man came in and bought the shoes and the shoe maker and his wife were rich. But they still didn’t know how was making the shoes. That night they waited next to the counter and watched. Finally 2 little elves hurried in and set to work making the shoes. When they had finished they quickly ran out. Again the next day the shoe maker said we should make some clothe for the elves because they only had tattered rags and had bare feet. ”You should make some tiny shoes for them” said his wife. So they both set to work making little cloths for the elves. They wrapped the presents neatly. The shoe maker was happy with the shoes. He made sure he saved the little shoes to last to wrap last. When the elves came in they went to the work bench but they only found the little pile of presents. They ripped open the presents and started putting the new cloths on. When they had finished they skipped merrily out the door.

Once upon a time there was a poor shoe maker and his wife. They lived in a village. One day the shoemaker left some string out in the morning there was a shiny pair of shoes. He went to see his wife. His wife said who would be making such nice shoes. So they came up with a plan. One night they set some leather out and watched. Later some Elves came in and made two pairs of shoes so his wife said “How will we ever pay them back?” “I know” said the shoemaker “we can knit them some clothes.” When they finished they lay them on the work desk. Later the elves came skipping in and saw some presents and ripped them open look said the elves. We got some clothes and they ripped their old clothes of and put their new clothes on and skipped out saying “Oh what handsome boys we are.” The shoemaker never saw the elves again.

Once upon a time there lived a poor shoemaker and his wife. They were so poor they didn’t have enough money to buy any food. That evening he found some leather. He cut the piece of leather out and put it on his work bench, then he went to bed. The next morning he looked on his work bench he saw one pair of fine shoes. He was really puzzled. Just then a rich lady came in. The shoemaker showed her the pair of shoes. The lady was impressed. She gave the shoemaker some silver coins. He went out and bought leather for two pairs of fine shoes. That evening he cut out the two pieces of leather and went to bed. The next morning he saw two pairs of fine shoes. A rich merchant came in that afternoon and he bought those shoes. It happened over and over again. So the shoemaker and his wife wondered if they could figure out who made those shiny shoes. He asked his wife if she could help. So she said what if we stay up really late and have a look so we can figure out who really made those pretty shoes. That night he and his wife hid behind the counter. Not long after that he saw two little elves running in the door. They started working then they polished the shoes until they shone into the moonlight. They ran out the door when they finished their work. That night he asked his wife if it would be good if they made some new clothes for the two little elves. The next morning the shoemaker’s wife started knitting some beautiful little clothes. The shoemaker started wrapping the presents. He put them on the bench. The night came at last. The two little elves ran in the door. They climbed up to the work bench. Instead of leather on the bench there was a pile of presents. They knew they were for them so they started opening the presents. When they saw the clothes and the shoes they were so happy that they took their ragged clothes off, put their new clothes on and skipped out the door. The shoemaker and his wife never ever saw the two tiny elves again but always thought of the two tiny elves.

Once upon a time there was a very poor shoemaker. He lived in a old shop and he couldn’t buy any food because they did not have any money.
He found some leather and put it on his table. It was the last of his leather. He cut it out ready for the morning. In the morning he woke up and saw one lovely pair of shoes on his table. During the day a rich lady came in to the shop and gave him a few coins for the shoes. He now had enough money for two pairs of shoes and some food. He brought two pieces of leather and cut out some shoes and put them on his table for the night. He woke up in the morning and saw some shiny leather shoes. Another rich person came into the shop and thought what lovely shoe they were. He bought them.
The shoemaker and his wife stayed up late and watched to see who was helping them. At midnight the door opened and in came two little elves. They made two more pairs of shoes then the elves went away.
The next day the shoemaker and his wife decided to make some clothes for the elves. They made clothes for the elves and wrapped them up in wrapping paper and put them on his desk. It was Christmas and they made clothes for the elves to say thank you. The elves came and opened the presents, took their old clothes off and put their new ones on. They ran outside saying, “We will not make shoes again.”

The Elves and the Shoemaker - Darcy
Once upon a time there was a poor shoemaker. The shoemaker and his wife didn’t have enough money to buy any food. One night the shoemaker carefully chopped up some leather and left the leather on his work bench. That night when the shoemaker was asleep little elves snuck into the shop and made really good shoes out of the leather. When the shoemaker woke up he saw the beautiful shoes and wondered who had made them. Then a rich lady came into the shop and saw the beautiful shoes and walked over to them. She said “I will give you six silver coins for those shoes.” So then the shoemaker and his wife had enough to also buy leather to make two pairs of shoes. That night the shoemaker chopped up enough leather to make 2 pairs of shoes. The shoemaker went to bed and when he was in a deep sleep the little elves snuck in again and got to work. In the morning when the shoemaker went downstairs he saw the shoes and he was amazed. Later on a rich merchant walked into the shop and said “I’ll give you lots of money for those shoes.” After the merchant had paid him the shoemaker and his wife were rich. That night they stayed up and they saw the little elves sneak in and get to work. The shoemaker and his wife felt sorry that the elves had to do so much work on the shoes. After the elves had made the shoes and had left the shoemaker’s wife noticed that the elves had raggedy clothes and no shoes so the shoemaker and his wife started making the elves some clothes. The next night when the elves came to make shoes they didn’t see any leather. All they saw were some presents so they ran over to open them and put on the clothes. Then they skipped away and never came back again and the shoemaker and his wife lived happily ever after.

The Elves and the Shoemaker - Lochie
Once upon a time there was a shoemaker and his wife. They were very poor and had no money. They had only enough leather to make one pair of shoes. He cut out the shoes and left them on the work bench. That night two elves came into the work shop. They set to work on the shoes and started to hammer and stitch.
In the morning the shoemaker found two perfectly made shoes! That afternoon a rich person came into the shop and bought the shoes. Day after day this kept happening. Soon the shoemaker and his wife were rich too. The shoemaker said “Who is making these perfect shoes? Let’s stay up and see.” One night after dinner they stayed up and watched as the elves came out and set to work hammering and stitching.
In the morning they said “Let’s make proper clothes for them.” The shoemaker made shoes for them. They put the presents on the desk and waited.
The elves came and instead of cut out shoes a pile of presents was on the work bench. When the elves realized the presents were for them they laughed and opened them. When they found the clothes they said “Oh what handsome boys we are. We will work on shoes no more,” and ran off.

Once there was a poor shoemaker who couldn’t put food on the table! One day he picked up the last of his leather and sighed. There was only enough for one pair of shoes. Carefully he cut out the leather and laid it on the table. Then he climbed into bed. In the morning the shoemaker found a pair of shoes all neatly stitched. Soon a rich lady came in and brought the shoes. Then the shoemaker had enough money for leather for two pairs of shoes. The same thing kept on happening again and again. Soon the shoemaker was rich but wondered continuously who made the shoes. Finally the shoemaker came to a decision. That night the shoemaker hid behind the counter and waited. Sure enough the door opened and in skipped two Elves. They zoomed up to the workbench and set to work. Soon on the bench stood some highly polished shoes! When the shoemaker went to bed he started knitting two little caps. By dawn he had two beautiful costumes ready to wrap up. When the clothes were wrapped the shoemaker placed the parcels on the bench and waited. When the elves came instead of finding leather a pile of parcels lay on the bench. They tore open the parcels and stood and stared at the contents. Slowly smiles spread across their faces. Then, tossing aside their rags with glee they whisked on those fine clothes. The elves danced off singing “Oh what fine boys we are.” As the shoemaker climbed the stairs he smiled to himself. Though he never saw the Elves again the shoemaker was very contented.
