Recycled Puppets

Ready for Disco Dreams and Nightmares

More wonderful art from Crew 34. Thank you Mrs Bourke for teaching us how to do this extraordinary artwork!

Science - If you rub a balloon against your hair, the balloon will steal electrons from your hair. This leaves your hair positively charged and the balloon negatively charged. Your hair will be attracted to the surface of the balloon because opposite charges attract. You will also notice that your hair stands up even if the balloon is not near them. This is because each hair is positively charged and is repelled by the hair next to it. You should also notice that after rubbing the balloon on your hair, you can get the side of your balloon that touched your hair to stick to other things like a wall or ceiling. This happens because the negative charge on the balloon will force some of the electrons in the wall to move to the other side of their atoms.

Crew 3's Poems

Our Poetry

We are learning to write different types of poems. This poem is called a Cinquain poem and it has one word on the first line, two words on the second line, three words on the third line, four words on the fourth line and one word on the fifth and last line.

We went outside and looked around our school.  We thought about what we saw and wrote words to match.  We are really proud of our amazing poems.

Puppet Pets

As part of 'Getting to Know Each Other', we made pet sock puppets.  The question: If you could be any pet in the world, what would you be?  We designed our puppets and then made them using lots of cool stuff.  Check us out!

Undie Art

Crew 3 read a story about a frog who lost his undies.  All the other frogs were fighting over them so the jungle animals decided to make all the frogs some undies.  If you could have any undies in the world to show off your personality, what would they be like?

We think our undies are the best!

Praciticing Personification - Heavy Metal!

Her claws snipped, snipped my fingers off. 

She looks like she has got a arm beside her face. 

She can blink about 1 000 000 times a minute. 

She has her name on her t-shirt. 

And she lives on a rocky volcano.

Emma

Her fist destroyed the building. 

Her arm goes round, round, and round. 

Her wrecking ball is pounding the dirt. 

She loves trashing the place. 

Her wrecking ball swings and swings through the sky. 

She is crying. 

Her arm is as tall as a skyscraper. 

She is lonely.

She zig zags through the dirt. 

She is the ultimate crusher. 

She rolls through fences.

Buildings crack, cars get smashed, and roads crumble. 

She makes earthquakes. 

The light makes her work. 

Her face doesn't smile. 

She frowns.

Noah

 Her sturdy body looks best for her.  Her body is orange,bluey silvery, and white.  Her jagged teeth bite the ground.  Her feet are round and huge.  Her arm is long and slim and on her neck says her name like a tatoo.

Kate

The Machine
Her huge long arm started to reach as long as it could go.  Her blue body started to smash the building as hard as she could. She loved smashing the enormous, old building that took too long to crush. Once she finished smashing the building, she wanted to smash it again.

Ashleigh

 
It started smashing concrete.  Bang, smash, oww.  Right at that moment it hit a human.  He was knocked unconscious.  Guess he shouldn't have been playing in that area.  It's jagged teeth looked like it was eating itself.  It's engine was like a dying predator.  It's feet are steady and chained.
