Room 4 Visits The brook Sanctuary

On Tuesday Room 4 went to the Brook Sanctuary and we travelled up in our cars. When we got out I saw a bird nest in the roof. When we got inside we saw a map. Then we went to look at a fence. It had a hat and a skirt. The skirt was so the animals couldn’t dig under the ground and the hat was so mice, cats and other pests couldn’t climb over the hat and they would slip off.
On the walk we had to look for blue ribbons and boxes. We went across two bridges and Shine chose people to give leaves to. We needed the leaf to get their names and next time we go there will be a swing bridge. When we got back we had to match the leaves and put them on the poster and book but Kate and I couldn’t because we had flowers. Then we had lunch and Josh and I were sitting over the edge and so was Clayton.

In the weekend we stayed at home. We went on the tramp. We went on the fort.
We went to the circus. I saw a girl who had 20 hula hoops. I saw a gorilla. People were jumping through fire.
We went to McDonalds for tea. I saw Mrs Lines. Then we went home because it was 8 o'clock.

1.Get one biscuit
2.Put it on a plate with the chocolate facing up.
3.Get one marshmallow.
4. Put the marshmallow on the top of the biscuit.
5. Get another chocolate biscuit.
6. Make sure the chocolate is facing down.
7.Put it on top of the marshmallow.
8.Put the plate with the sandwich in the microwave oven.
9. Cook on medium high for 10 seconds.
10. Carefully take the plate out of the microwave.
11 WAIT for a couple of minutes before you eat it because food cooked in a microwave keeps cooking after you take it out.

Dot Meharry

We were reading an article about the author Dot Meharry in a Junior Journal. Another group were reading The Gardener's Maze and another group were reading an article on making a marshmallow sandwich written by Dot Meharry. We had to find three facts about the author and then Mrs Lines set up the data projector and Inspiration for us to record the facts. Annabel and Liam went to the library to see what Dot Meharry books they could find. They only found two that were not out on loan.

Wonderful Weekend

In the weekend it was my brother's birthday. We went to Faulkners Bush. Luke went on the flying fox and Josh went on it too. He hurt himself. Then we had some cake. The next day we went fishing with the Kelly's. It was rough and we saw an army boat. When we went back we saw another huge army boat with a gun on it, and then I patted a baby seal. We went home.
