Basic Facts
Today Room 14 sat the same basic facts test that we did in week 2. After marking them with our pink (to be proud) and green (to go on with) highlighters the children could see how many more they got right this time. There was a lot more PINK this time around!

What is a nogard?
Today during Inquiry we looked at sending and receiving messages. We found that each person in the class can receive the same message differently.
We all listened to the same description about a creature called a nogard. We all drew what we think a nogard would look like. When we all looked at each others' drawings we found that we have all interpreted the description differently and each have a unique nogard.
Here are some of our creations.
What is a nogard?
The nogard is an animal. It has an oval shaped body. It has a long neck and tail. The top of the neck, back and tail are covered with a row of triangular shaped plates. The nogard’s head is shaped like a long triangle. It has big eyes and eyebrows that stick out. It also has big nostrils. Its body is covered with scales. The nogard has four short legs. At the end of each leg is a foot with five toes. Each toe has a sharp claw at the end. The nogard has two wings attached to its body. These are located behind the front legs towards the top of its back. Nogards are usually green but change to a deep purple during the winter months.

TREMENDOUS MARKETS
Small breezes whipped through the air, as the sun streamed
down. The glorious sound of the band rang through the air. The smell of
sausages drifted around while kids screamed on the awesome rides. Long queues of what some people
thought would last for ever. Picnic rugs jammed in front of the stage with
people lying on them because of the heat and stuffing with the food they got.
Ice cream dribbled down the kid’s chins. Auckland is the best place for
markets.

We have been writing descriptions that paint a picture in our readers' minds.Can you guess what we have written about?
Sheldon the Turtle
Sheldon looks like a bomb when he tucks himself inside his
shell. His tail looks like a sharp end of a sword. His colour is yellow and brown. Sheldon blows
bubbles out of his mouth when he is in the water. He looks scaly like a fish.
Sheldon the turtle feels like a rock. Sheldon’s back feels smooth
and scaley
Sounds like a snake “ssssssssssssssssssss.”
Sheldon smells like a wild hippo.
