Balloonatics!

Balloons at Dairy Flat

Balloonatics kindly donated about 600 balloons to our Junior rooms on Monday. The Creepy Crawlies had some fun playing with the balloons and balancing them on their heads! 


We then decided to count the balloons we had in our class! We wrote down all the colours and how many were in the bunch! Then we had to count is 2's and we discovered that there were 12 Balloons in a bunch! Then we realised that we had 7 bunches so we found a way to add the numbers that made it easy! We sounded out how to spell the colour words using our alphabet sounds.



We then decided to build a tower with the balloons to see how tall we could make it!






Then we hung them on the wire in the class to make our classroom colourful and we wrote about what we did!

Blue Bot's Adventure with the Reading Owls

Blue Bot’s 2nd Amazing Adventure
 Once upon a time there was a Bot called Blue Bot, and he had a big smile on his face. Blue Bot had already been on an adventure with the Creepy Crawlies. He decided it was time for another adventure with the Owls in Bot Town.



When Blue Bot was going along the road he came across a dark and scary cave. It had a sign the sign said ‘Please enter Ant Cave’. Blue Bot had never seen an ant before and he was curious. He went to have a look….






He had so much fun with the Ants. “I don’t know what people’s problems are with ants, I think you are so much fun, not annoying at all”. Blue Bot said “Goodbye” to his new friends.






Grumble, grumble, grumble went Blue Bots puku. “I’m starving, I need some sausages” “Oh look, it’s a sausage shop”. So Blue Bot went inside the shop.




Chomp, chomp, chomp went Blue Bots mouth. “I am full of sausages”.
Blue Bot needed to walk off those sausages. He came to the
SKY TOWER OF ALIENS.





Blue Bot shook on his wheels two of his greatest fears were staring him in the face. ALIENS AND HEIGHTS. Blue Bot couldn’t get away fast enough the aliens caught up with him and took him to the fairy river of Joy. He wasn’t expecting that one.




What a beautiful River. But how would Blue Bot get across? Not to worry he saw a Bridge. He carefully went over the bridge.
Only to lead to the
Shark Room Castle.
YIKES!” This Bot
Town is too scary.
No wonder I stay at
home all the time he
thought to himself.





He scooted past the castle
and came to a Sky Scarper
made of colourful bricks.




“Wait a minute, what’s that moving inside? LAVA. Oh my goodness what is this place, THE DEVIL’S, I’m out
of here” he screamed.
He came to the some beautiful trees moving in the breeze. The forest of SCRUMPTIOUS APPLES.







“That means I’m close to home. Oh goodie I’m exhausted. Time for a cup of oil tea and an upgrade”.

Blue Bots Amazing Adventure

Room 6 - the Creepy Crawlies have been learning how to code robots to make them go where we want them to! We incorporated this with practicing using some new and exciting describing words to write an adventure story. We had fun making all the props we needed for Blue Bots adventure! We made our story into a book! Happy reading! 



Once upon a time there lived a little Blue Bot who had a big smile! He decided to go on an amazing adventure through the land. Blue Bot set off down the long road.
The first land was Blood Red Castle land. Scarey Zombies lived in the creepy castle and they gave Blue Bot a BIG fright !
Blue Bot ran quickly down the road. Suddenly he saw a green tower as tall as the Sky tower!The tower was covered in millions of evil creepy snakes!He saw triangle pyramids covered in dangerous vines. I need to get out of here really fast thought Blue Bot!!!
Blue Bot saw two friendly Aliens
standing by the rocky road. The Aliens were holding Grenade guns.The little red alien said " Where are you going?"
Blue Bot said " On an adventure!"
The Giant blue alien said" I have a grenade gun for you to shoot the spiky dinosaur!" "Thank -you" said Blue Bot.
Blue Bot went slowly past the blood red, spikey and green dinosaur. The dangerous dinosaur roared really loudly. Blue Bot raced away shivering!
Blue Bot slowed down when he
saw a beautiful snow fairy! The forest was full of weird creatures and trees BUT they were all very kind and they made Blue Bot feel very happy! There were giant lovely colorful flowers and a tall

Cheetah fairy! 
Blue Bot came out of the amazing
Magic Fairy Garden- it was the end
of his amazing adventure! Blue
Bot was feeling amazed, brilliantly
happy but very very tired!Blue bot
said " What an EPIC adventure!"
