My 3 minute writing

My grandad has the funkiest teeth in the whole world, they are so sharp they can bite through a piece of metal! One day someone stole them and put them up in a giant oak tree! He had to call 111 to get a policeman and a firefighter to get the teeth down. After the fire woman got granddads teeth down from the tree, she tried them on for herself, she quiet liked them and took her old false teeth out and ran away and no one saw her face again.......

Thank you for reading my very un-true story.

Book fair day

On November the 4th Winton school had a book fair day. Everyone had to dress up as their favourite book character. We got this idea from the book fair sale in the hall. There were fairies, rugby players,farmers and vampires. At the book fair there were heaps of different new books there! This is the character I went as: his name is Almanzo wilder or I say: farmer boy.

 

Jar labels!!

This term room 2 have been making jar labels. We bought jars from home and looked at the labels on them. We planted beans in the jars and then made a new name for the beans,  that related to it like : Ethan's exciting emergency sick beans. We had to make a draft of the front and back labels. We included a description a barcode, guarantees, ingredients and a website to comment on. We got our idea from this book:

This is my jar label:
