Rapunzel - By Elliot

Once upon a time there was a girl called Rapunzel and she got locked up in a tower.  Just then along came a Prince.  He climbed up Rapunzel's hair.  Then the witch came and she was horrified.  She sent Rapunzel to a far away land.  The witch tricked the Prince and he was blind.
He heard the music and he followed the music and he went into the desert... he found Rapunzel but he couldn't see Rapunzel.  Just then Rapunzel cried onto the Prince's eyes.  He wasn't blind anymore!  They fell in love.

Once upon a time there lived a Mum and a Father. The lady said "can you please get me some lettuce from the Witch's garden?" Suddenly the Witch came. "You must give me your baby... moihahaha!" The next day, she took the baby. She (the Witch) called the babu Rapunzel. She put her in a tall tower... near the tower lived a Prince. The Prince came to the bottom of the tower. He said, "Rapunzel, Rapunzel. Let down your golden hair." Rapunzel did what he said. Then the Witch came and said "Rapunzel, Rapunzel, let down your golden hair!" Rapunzel did. The Witch climbed Rapunzel's hair. The Witch cut her hair and sent Rapunzel to a far away land. The Prince climbed up her golden hair. The Witch dropped the hair. The Prince fell in the bush. Then the Prince heard Rapunzel singing. Sadly they found each other and cried happy tears. The became Queen and King and they lived happily ever after!

Rapunzel - By Ava T


Once upon a time there lived a poor old man and an old woman.  The old woman wanted a baby so she told the old to get the witch’s lettuce.  The old man did what she said.


Suddenly the witch found out.  The old man said,
“The old woman wanted a baby, so she needs lettuce,”
The witch said, “When the new baby is born you have to bring her to me, moihahaha!”  Suddenly she disappeared. The old man told the old woman what the witch had said They all cried with sadness.  The old woman did not want to give the witch her baby.


Then they got an idea.   They left their home so the witch wouldn’t know where they are.  Suddenly a cloud of smoke appeared. The witch grabbed the baby. They disappeared into thin air.


The witch called the baby Rapunzel.  She locked her in a big tower for a long time.  She grew long, beautiful golden hair.


One day a prince cane to the tower.  He was looking for a princess to marry so they could be King and Queen.  He was trying to climb up the tower but he couldn’t get up. He was always dreaming who it could be.  


Then the witch came that night.  She said “Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your golden hair.”  Rapunzel did what she said.


One night the Prince sneakily spied on the tower.


Suddenly the Witch came and called, “Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your golden hair.”  The witch climbed up and only gave her some food. Then she left.


The Prince heard the Witch’s words.  The Prince said “Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your golden hair.”  Rapunzel didn’t know that is was the Prince. The Prince climbed up.  He said, “What is your name?” Rapunzel replied, “My name is Rapunzel.”  She was shy. They met. They already fell in love at first sight.


Every night and day, the Prince came to the tower but… when the Prince was there, the Witch saw the Prince.  The Witch banished Rapunzel to the desert.


The Prince didn’t know where Rapunzel was so he left.  The next day he came back to see if Rapunzel was back in her tower.  He forget that the Witch cut Rapunzel’s hair. He said “Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your golden hair.” Rapunzel was not there.  The Witch taped Rapunzel’s hair to the tower. When the Prince climbed up the Witch un-taped it and the Prince fell in the thorn bush.  He couldn’t open his eyes, only with water.


He went to the desert.  He heard Rapunzel singing.  He followed the voice. He felt someone.  It was Rapunzel!


Rapunzel said, “oh no my Prince.  Your eyes are not open.” Rapunzel cried.  One of Rapunzel’s tears went on the Princes eyes.  It helped his eyes. He could see again! Then the Prince took Rapunzel to his castle and they got married.  They lived happily ever after.

Rapunzel - By Jack


Once upon a time there was a little baby.  Her name was Rapunzel. She got older and she had long hair.  She lived in a castle and it was tall and big.


One day the Witch saw the Prince was going inside and the Witch cut Rapunzel’s hair off.  She said, “do not cut my golden hair!” But the Witch did.


Then she got kicked into the desert.  Meanwhile the Prince climbed the tower and fell down into the thorns.  His eyes got pricked and he couldn’t see. He wandered into the desert where Rapunzel was.  They found each other. They lived happily ever after.

Rapunzel - By Connor


Once upon a time there was a Mum and a Dad and they wanted a little girl.  The Mum had to have lettuce. The Dad snuck over the fence and got one bit of lettuce and the Mum ate it but that was not enough for the Mum…


The Dad went back over the fence and the Witch caught him!  The Witch said to him, “Don’t steal my lettuce.”
Dad said to the Witch, “But my wife can’t live without it.”
“OK, you can get how ever much lettuce you want but when the baby is born, give me it.” replied the Witch.


The Dad went home.  When the baby was born the Witch put her in a tall tower for a long time.  


One day, a Prince heard Rapunzel’s voice and the Prince climbed the tower.  The Prince promised Rapunzel that every night he would come over.


One night, the Witch caught him.  The Witch sent Rapunzel far away and the Prince came back… and he climbed the tower and the Witch pushed him down and he was now a blind Prince until they found each other and they lived happily ever after.

SCIENCE SHARING

Today, we took time to share all the learning we had gained while in our Science Opt-ins.

We took 20 minutes with our workshop buddies and our workshop teacher to decide what to share.  Then we came together and each group got to explain what we had discovered.

The kids from Hubble Bubble Potions went first...



The children investigated liquids, solids, powders and crystals.  They even made crystals!

Mrs Kenyon's workshop learnt to classify animals.  They shared with us the different classifications of animals such as mammal, reptiles, amphibians, birds, fish and insects...






Mrs Lunn's Magnet kids took turns sharing what they had learnt.  They even demonstrated their learning with their magnets.  It was like MAGIC!







Here's what the magnet kids had to say...

Charlie - When you get a plate and put a paperclip on it with a paper car ... the magnet underneath the plate will make the car move

Jack - If you put the South and South ends together on a big and little magnet, they repel

Hunter - Not all metals are magnetic

Kazma - If you stick metal to a magnet, the metal becomes magentic too.

Ethan - We found out the plastic, wood, fabric, rubber and cardboard are not magnetic.

Amon - Only some metals attract

Rudra - When you put the South with another South it repels

Max - If you put North near South, they attract

Zach - If you put N near N, it repels

Shyloh - If you put the magnet next to the iron filings, the sand is attracted to the magnet

Harlem - If yuo put the big magnet to the same letter, it repels

Tyler - The big magnets have N and S but if you put the same letters together they repel

Fai-ana - You can make metal things move by using magnets

Holly P - Some magnets are stronger than others

Lakhdeep - Magnets do not attract plastic unless it has a piece of metal in it that is magnetic

Cooper - If you have a magnet with S and N, it will attract a N and S

RUDRA'S INVENTION

On Friday, Rudra shared the catapult he made with his Mum.  He even showed us how it worked.  It sent a pom-pom flying into the air!  We were all very impressed!


Rudra earned an Effective Communicator pin for sharing his catapult.  He spoke clearly and loud enough for the whole class to hear.  Great work Rudra!
