4M's Visit To The Good Shepherd Home

On Tuesday 18th November 4M went to The Good Shepherd Home to visit the elderly people. I performed with a couple of people and we sang the Bear Necessities while one of the mum's played the piano. They really enjoyed the performance. Then after we performed we gave them li Christmas gifts and had a chat. In no time at all, it was time to go. We said bye and then caught the bus back to school. We had such a fun time, even though we only stay there for an hour.

Alley Way Animals

I met a white cat,
Down the bitcheman alley way.
Talking to a black bat,
Just the other day.

Wild Dog

I sat next to a wild dog
in the dark forest,
on a long log,
And I think his name was Morest.

Onomatopoeia- Swimming

This is my poem using onomatopoeia. Onomatopoeia is where you can hear the sound in a word and be able to say it.
Example- woof, crash.

SWIMMING
The students dive in the pool
Splash! Splash! Splash!
It's cool!
They kick their legs
Kick! Kick! Kick!
Their legs have to be as straight as pegs.
They take a big breath
Hhh! Hhh! Hhh!
The students paddle with their arms
Wsh! Wsh! Wsh!
They do a tumble turn against the wall
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Their feet are sore
They glide through the water
Swishhhh! Swishhhh! Swishhhh!
The lesson has finished
Yeay! Yeay! Yeay!
They all say.
