Movember

This November's name has been altered slightly to Movember with moustaches to help raise awareness of men's health problems. Many Kiwis are giving it a go and getting right into the Movember spirit. Movember is a time when our school has fun and dress up as man wearing a moustaches all day long but unless  it starts to itch. Just to let you know I have had one. We haven't had it yet but we know it is going to be fun. the year 6's aren't strangers to the feeling but we all stick together.

Cyclone Yasi

Cyclone Yasi went to our neighbors Australia and each of room 4s table groups made a survival kit and we are now wondering would this help for any other disasters? We all thought different some thought yes others thought no many thought you would have to add a few more things according to the disaster and 1 or 2 thought if it was a plane or boat disaster then not much could help you survive.

Character Descriptions

Room4 has been working on character descriptions here are some examples
__________________________________________________________________

My man has brown hair. He has a very wrinkly face, and green eyes and he is looking intense and very lonely he has a black shirt and and white shorts. I think he has done something wrong or did something dangerous. his face tells me he is not rich he is poor. Maybe he came from a place having a war.

he is very sad on the inside because his wife had died. He looks really scared. One person in his family died. I think he lives in England his name is Daniel and he was a thief.

Daniel is so angry that people are hurting him and and picking on him, that's making him angry all the time. He keeps on stealing. One day he got caught stealing and he never stole again. Daniel moved to New Zealand, and he lived a happy life in New Zealand.

By HarGeo

________________________________________________________________   
  My character looks like he comes from India or maybe he is from Africa. He looks like he might a bit old maybe about 60 to 65. His clothes are shabby so he could be a bit poor. He has a white hat on his head and he has a mustache and a big bushy beard.

This man might feel sad because he is moving to a different country that is why he is so sad also he is depressed and he is really angry to. I think my character is frightened about moving.
