Learning to set a table

Our visit from Dean the policeman

What policeman Dean told us

When police Dean came into our class he told us that “if a car goes one-hundred kilometres an hour and a person at the back seat has no seat belt on and the car crashes into a wall, the person at the back will fly at one-hundred kilometres until that person hit some thing”. Then he showed us some different sirens, wail,yelp,high and low. What we learnt was to always put on your set belt when you are in the the car. He also told us that if you are under 148cm you should have a booster seat.

What we did when policeman Dean came

When  the  police  man  arrived  at  our  school  he  came  to  our  class  last .  But  at  least  he came  to  our  class  room . The  first  thing  he  told  us  was  to always wear  our  seat  belts properly . Then  he  told  us  that  we  had  to learn about road  safety. The  last  thing  he  showed  us  was  HIS  police car.  We  got  to  go  into  his  car. He  finally  showed  us  all  the  different  sirens  that  he  had  in  his  car. Then  we  did a  test  about  all  we  had learnt. But  the  bad  part  was  that  the  boys  won! The last  time  the  girls  won . I  think the  best part  was  going  in  the  police  car . The  part  that  i  loved  the most  was  the  sirens  and  they  were  the  wail, high  and  low ,yelp.  I learnt  that  everyone  in  our  class  needs  to wear a  seat  belt even  me .

What we learned when police man Dean came

Police man Dean came to Room 16. First, he showed us road safety and how to cross the  road. At the end of day he gave us a challenge to see what we have learnt. The girls won       

that day and I felt happy. On the next day, he showed us car safety. He took us down to his police car! I was quite shocked. He said “always make your seatbelt click!”. We tried on the 

seatbelt. I was a bit too short. The thing I liked the most was the police car, the siren and the speaker. I learnt that I was crossing the wrong way, and now I have a new way. First you step up to the curb line,then you step back one space, check both sides of the road, then you walk across looking both sides.

Happy Easter

Hi Room 16,
I hope you are enjoying your holidays and staying safe. I saw the movie 'Rio' the other night, so cute, you would all love it!  I thought I'd post this picture I took the other morning when I walked out of my back gate. It really suits the Easter Season - eggs and chicks!
I hope you all have a happy Easter weekend.
Love Mrs Boric

Character Descriptions

Hi there Room 16,
Hope your holidays have started well and you're not missing school too much! How about having a go at writing a few character descriptions while you are away. Here are some points on how to write them.
You could write one for your Mum, Dad, sister, brother, cousin, Nana, Grandad, friend or neighbour.
Bring it to school on the first day back and you can share it with the class.

Don't forget to include some similes and direct speech!


Intro - catchy opening sentence, who you are writing about
First paragraph - What the character looks like - describing words, face, hair, height, eyes, lips teeth, smile, skin
Second paragraph - The characters personality, how they treat others, direct speech
Third paragraph - The characters interests and hobbies, what they like/dislike, info about their family, favourite things to do
Fourth paragraph - what makes them special to you, a time you spent together
Conclusion - a final sentence that says your thoughts about the character
