Laserforce
We are learning to write detailed descriptions of a place.Have a read of Dong Hae's description of Laserforce...
At Laserforce I saw fake laser guns and protective vests and the vests felt a little bit heavy. I felt scared when I first got inside, but when I did the missions I didn't feel scared. I heard people's whispers because they didn't want to get spotted and get shot. I saw dark battle field and small shortcuts. The shortcuts were like small dark caves. I could only see a little bit of light coming from the guns and vests. When I had finished all our missions I wanted to go again because it was nearly the most fun place ever!

RICE in Reverse!
We have been learning how to define respect and co-operation. Last week we wrote some clever definitions of each topic. Today we used the Reverse Key to help us to think about respect and co-operation. When we use the Reverse Key we place words such as cannot, never and not into a sentence to get us thinking...
We had to list ways you cannot show co-operation/respect. Here are some of our ideas.
Post a comment if you can suggest the co-operative or respectful opposite to our ideas.
Respect
Start food fights.
Eat someone else’s lunch.
Get your teacher to do everything.
- Luke
Talk over the top of other people.
Annoy other people.
- Leila
Ripping school books
Scribble on other people’s work.
- Ha Won
Push past people.
Say ‘no’ to people who want to be your friend.
- Celine
Co-operation
Don’t help people.
Don’t work out problems.
- Summer
Fight over a toy.
Keep good ideas to yourself.
- Dong Hae
Turn your back when someone’s talking.
