Kauri are learning to write a recount using paragraphs and detail to make it interesting for the reader. Here is a recount that we wrote as a class. Wait until you read our camp recounts. they will be outstanding.

Kauri Go to Beach Education

Two weeks ago, Kauri and Rimu were on the bus going to South Brighton beach to learn about rips, beach safety, to be sun smart and to have fun.

When we got to the surf lifesaving club, we were met by Leah, Harry and Cam, young lifeguards who were full of energy. We learned about lots of things about the beach in a humorous way. Brayden nearly drowned inside but got saved by Shukoor.

After that we went down to the beach to play games and swim. The game we played was seagulls and trashcans. The lifeguards got us to make a rip in the sand. The first couple got washed away but then it worked. We learned how to wade into the water, duck dive and body surf. The water drift was very strong.

At the end we had a lot of fun but we were also cold, wet and tired.

As part of our writing, Kauri wrote a ‘We Are ….’ poem about the class. (Mr M would just like to say that he is not really crazy at all)

WE ARE KAURI

WE ARE:  Enthusiastic Super heroes

We wonder if we will age as well as Mr M

We hear noisy children and happy voices

We see pixel art and our work

We want a pet rat for company instead of handwriting

WE ARE:  Enthusiastic Super heroes.

We pretend to drive imaginary cars in the classroom

We feel happy for the year in front of us

We touch the walls because they are interesting

We worry about earthquakes and Mr M’s moustache

We feel sad when someone teases us

WE ARE:  Enthusiastic Super heroes.

We understand that Mr M is a bit crazy

We say “Yay!” when we go on a field trip and camp

We dream of a good class and hot milo

We try to persuade Mr M to give us gumballs

We hope our university will win and for the world to be a better place

WE ARE:  Enthusiastic Super heroes

Kauri get rescued in the pool

Here is Kauri after they were rescued by a lifesaving boat in the pool.

Kind and caring is what we are

Always listening and using positive kind words

Unique individuals and we like it that way

Responsible citizens because we are respectful to others

Interesting when you get to know us.
