Visit to the Art Gallery

Yesterday we went to the amazing art gallery but we didn't know we were going to make our own dream catchers.  We saw the balloon on the tally.  We saw a sculpture made out of pencils.  We saw the flaps flipping.  By Room 4

Yesterday we went to the art centre however we were surprised that we were going to make our own sparkly shinning art.  When we finished we didn't even have to write our names on the side of them because we knew them like the back of our hands already!  "I wonder what else we are going to do?" I said.  Next we looked around the place at the beautiful wonderful art.

Our Poetry Poems

We have been writing some poetry and got our ideas from a poem we read by Bev Wood in a School Journal.

Poetry

Poetry is words that run across the page

Like scaly snails and slimy snakes

Lots of words go crazy when the poetry book is shut

Then freeze when the book is open.

By Casey

 

Poetry

Words that march

Words that sing

Some are crazy and some are fun

Some are good to read for a goodnight nap

Funny

Crazy

Marching left – right – left - right.

By Izobella

Poetry

 

Poetry is words from a book

Lots of poems

Around the world

Have books

Have poems

Have lots of imagination.

By Myia

Poetry

 

Poetry is words

Poetry is fun

Poetry slithers across the page

Like a rip-current

Poetry is fun!

By Ollie

 

Poetry

Poetry is words from the heart

Lots of thought and care

You must look at books to get your ideas

You must try to catch them if you can.

More Heavy Metal - Personification Writing

Her jagged teeth are reaching to pick up rocks.  Her cumbersome toes are working like a rocket, zooming around the hockey field. Her body is dancing around the place,  digging and scratching, banging everywhere! You can hear her at the door whining to get in.
 
Casey

His sturdy body crushed, munched, and destroyed piles of rocks and turned them into dust. The dirt came out from the long dirty arm. The feet were two feet long and baby blue. The feet are so prickly they look like a hedgehog. His body looks like a rectangle with robot writing.
 
Luke


His arm pounded the rock with his big strong rusty hand. His massive feet moved through the strong mud. His sturdy arm smashes the boulders, bricks, and stone. His stomach is hot. His sharp fingers dig up stone and dirt. The trees get destroyed from his steel fist. His eyesight is as good as an eagle.
 
Ollie
 

His sharp claw smashed in the earth.  
His metal arm scraped the concrete.  
His jagged teeth picked up rocks.  
His massive arm pulled the tree away from the ground
 
Aaron


His sharp teeth crushed the ground. 
He lifted the rocks with his claws, like hands. 
He had scratches on his teeth. 
He is a mean destroyer. 
His powerful arms were dirty.
By Rory

His arms were smashing the heavy boulders. His legs were crashing  and stomping over stones. His chest is chomping and pounding the earth. His feet were snapping the humongous  stones. The head of the  gigantic thing was wrecking houses and damaging buildings.  His knees were pounding the grass in seconds. His elbows were destroying playgrounds.
Brodie

Her arms keep pounding the concrete. 
Her feet kept rusting as she rumbled past the broken buildings. 
Her rusty hand dug into the bottom of the earth.  
Her teeth kept crunching.  
She kept on eating until it was all rubble.
By Jayme




Her jagged teeth ate the floor. 
I hear her neck at the door. 
Her eye is small but  tough.  
Her arm is big and rough.  
She  picks up wire and a tyre and then she finished.  
She threw it all away and said,  
"I will see you another day".
Izobella

Her sharp  shiny teeth are grabbing metal.  She is crushing the wheel and smashing rocks. The rusty wheel rolled away down the hill, striking stones.  They started sinking at the bottom of the hill and then started getting bigger and bigger.

The street was usual enough.....

We did writing modeled a little on James K Baxter’s writing.

The street was usual enough. Leaning and hard to get past. We played on the path next to the street.  We crossed the street safely and were careful. We did what boys and Dads do, played together and felt excited.

Rory

The town was usual enough with single houses, a big beach and buildings.  We biked, played soccer, played rugby and ran races.  We did what families do exploring together.

Izak

The street was usual enough, round abouts, flat roads, trees and grass.  We scootered with friends.  We said “Hi” to neighbors and made new friends.  We did what families do having heaps of fun and spending time together all playing in the back yard and getting messy.  

Kendal

The town was usual enough, jewellery shop, MacDonald’s and straight roads.  My granny lives at the jewellery shop.  Me and my sister saw Muda the dog.  I think he is a German Shepherd.  We did what families do being caring, nice and kind.

Flynn

The beach was usual enough.  It had sand, water, fish and sky all over it.  When it snowed we slid down the hills on black bags.  On hot days we went to the beach and played in the water. Sometimes me and my family dug big holes.  That is what my family does best.

Casey

The room was usual enough.  It had three teddies, one net and a tea set.  I’d read books. We did what brothers and sisters do and had adventures down the back of the house. We found hats, cats and mats and even butterflies. I felt exhausted.  I fell asleep on the ground.

Izobella

The country was usual enough, tall hills, fun hot parks, massive cold forests.  We went to Uncle Brett’s for a scrummy tea and swim.  Had a go on the fast motorbike.  We did what cousins usually do

Luke

The room was usual enough.  It had skateboard shelves, a big desk with books, a narrow cupboard and a funny little squeaking monkey.  We talked together, played Lego and read Harry Potter.  We did what families do best, run and work together and have an enthusiastic time.

Mason

The town was usual enough.  The roads were bumpy and rough.  We played running games.  Blue skies above us.  Tripping over unusual cracks on the ground.  Roadwork’s everywhere.  Playing all day like cousins do.  On motor bikes on the farm, scootering on creamy concrete, looking for rabbits, feeling different and lucky.

Caleb

The town was usual enough. Curved and wild roads, parks, trees, nice and warm.  My friend and I liked to play on the trampoline.  We went to the park.  We read at night because we wanted to be better readers.  We did what friends do.   Played games and have extra fun.

Taylor

The city is usual enough.  Wobbly roads, tall and fat houses, golf courses, trees, after shocks and earthquakes.  There’s bouncy bumps and quiet and sleepy roads.  Every night the birds twitter and people try to get to sleep.  We visited MacDonald’s.  Went to school. And to Toy World.  Me and my brothers play wrestling and rugby and soccer and play cricket.  Cooper and me play Wii and Jackson plays play station.  We did what brothers do.  Fight and enjoy life and have 5 times as much fun as we mostly do.

Brodie

The city was usual enough.  Sandy and dark and smooth and tiny and with a spiky tree on the other side of long grass.  We ran around the block 3 times.  We scootered around speeding on the street.  We did what brothers do, hang around all the time and wrestle on the tramp and play cricket.

Ollie

The house was usual enough.  It had cream bricks and white walls.  A lot of trees and a play house.  Me and my brother played around in my room.  We slept in my room.  Watched TV and played outside on my trampoline.  We did what families do.  Played together, went to the park together and never left anyone behind.

MacKenzie

The house was usual enough.  Old grass, concrete a bumpy drive, two small cars.  We played sport, ran around and feed fish and played Wii. We did what brothers do, played and argued over games.

Noah

The street is usual enough. Curly and busy. We did what brothers do. Biking fast like Lightening McQueen.  Running zippy like cars and scottering as hasty as a cheetah.

Ryan

The room was usual enough. Colourful duvet cover, one big teddy, one long desk, two little lights.  I drew on my desk all the time.  I slept in the colorful bed and cut some stuff out that I drew with my stencils.  We did what families do, wearing slippers, coloured in, cut stuff out.

Ashleigh

The room was usual enough.  I did my nails and watched TV.  I read my book and picked up my cell phone and played some games.  It had colourful walls and a desk as well, an owl duvet cover, and pillow.  I just sat around on my cell phone playing games.  Just doing what girls do.  Sometimes my friends came over and we had pillow fights.

Science

We have been learning about thrust and lift when things fly.  Our paper planes needed both thrust and lift off to make them fly.

Our Rocket Recounts

For writing last week we wrote about our science lessons about making rockets.  We concentrated on using recount time connector words: last week, on, then, next, finally.  See how well we did!  Mrs Q will be proud!

Last week we made rockets.  They were awesome.  We got balloons, straws and string and sellotape.  The rockets blew up into the sky.
Shyla

Last Friday we did rockets.  First we wrapped paper around a straw.  The you take the straw out.  Then you stick it together with sellotape or a staple.  Next you use the tape again.  The get three pieces off.  Then you fold them like this ^ and you put it on the straw.  Then blow.
Rosa

Last week on Friday Base34 made rockets.  First get a straw and a piece of paper.  Next get sellotape.  Then cut the tape in to a fin shape.  Finally, we blew our rockets.
Ryan

On Friday Base 34 made rockets for science.  First we got a piece of paper and wrapped it around a straw.  Next we put some sellotape around it.  Then we folded up one end.  Next we did some fins, three or two or maybe one.  Then we blew them off the straw.
Brodie

Last week Base34 made rockets.  After we made them we blew then.  Some went really far and some went not so far.  We used paper, tape and a straw.
Izak

On Friday last week we made rockets.  First we got a straw.  Then we go a balloon and tape.  After we taped the straw to the balloon.  Last we threaded some fishing wire through the straw.  Then we blew the balloon up and let it go.  Then it went for miles!
William

Last week on Friday we made rockets.  It was extremely fun.  We need straw, paper, sellotape and scissors.  When we tried mine, mine went far.
Luke

Base34 made rockets.  First roll the paper on a straw.  Next we sellotaped the paper.  Then we folded the paper and sellotape.  After that we made the fins.  Finally we blew the blew the rockets.
Rory

Last Friday we made rockets.  First we needed to get a straw and paper and roll up the paper on the straw.  Then we needed to tape it up.  Next we needed to fold up one end and tape that.  Then we needed to make fins and put them on.  And finally you put it on a straw and blow it.
Emma

Last week we made rockets.  I didn't get to do it because I was late back from recess.
Jack

Last Friday we did science.  We made rockets!  First we folded the paper.  Next we sellotaped the rocket.  Then we put fins on.  After that we put a straw in.  Finally we blew it...It flew across the room.
Ollie

Last week on Friday we made rockets out of paper in Base 34 at science.  It was cool.  First we wrapped around the straw in paper.
Kea

Last week we made rockets.  It was awesome.
Solan

On Friday we made rockets.  This is how you make it.  First you put some paper on a straw, tape it, take it off.  Next bend the end and tape it.  Then put fins on it.  Put the straw on it.  Finally, blow hard!
Casey

Last week on Friday we made paper rockets.  First we got a straw and wrapped a piece of paper around it.  Next you stick the fins on.  Then we pulled the straw out.  After that we blew the rocket.  Finally, it went miles.
