christmas around the world

In room 7 we are learning about how other cultures around the world celebrate Christmas.

Here is a website that a teacher (Suzanne Williams)  from Florida, USA has set up for us to learn from each other.

On Thursday we are skyping with South Mckeel Academy. They are in Lakeland, Florida, USA.

Here is a Padlet of how we celebrate in NZ so that other children around the world can learn from us! We are adding our ideas in during this week.

Firefly Galore

Suddenly I took a step and was in the middle of nowhere! The sun slowly separated and drifted through the sky. A big, bright castle stood in front of me like a tall tree staring back at me looking grand and lonely. Was I in Japan, Australia or America? I stepped into castle. It squeaked as if it was new. I looked out the shiny, glooming window and slowly the sky got darker! I saw a bunch of fireflies making bright golden lights lighting up the night sky. The Beautiful fireflies were holding up a sparkly banner. The banner said “You can have this castle!”

Book

listen to ‘Tegan book’ on Audioboo

The Bed And Breakfast Star

Me and Leah are reading a book Bed And Breakfast Star.

Else is having a hard life in this book because she has been in 7 beds since she was a baby. She was named after a lion so when she was a baby her mum stuck her hair up into a lions mane she sounded like one too. Else tells jokes to do her best to cheer up her family but no one seems to laugh much any more because they lost their lovely house and had to live in a breakfast and bed hotel.

I think the story will be way different in the snow and the book would not be called Bed and Breakfast Star because there is no bed and breakfast hotel in the snow.
