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.

There are a few schools named after him.

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.

Shape Poems- Term 4

It is now term 4 and nearly the end of the year. We have been learning about what a shape poem is. A shape poem is where you write a poem around a shape and then rub the shape out. I have written a shape poem about a dog. Here it is.

I am a dog that loves to bark loudly, play games and have lots of attention. When I am really excited I love to jump around ridiculously and bark madly. Exercising is fun. I like to play fetch. I am a cute, cuddly, curios dog but I am not clumsy. I'm athletic. Whoof Whoof!

My Science Fair

For the last few weeks I have been working on my science experiment. My title is Can Candles Bow Out By Themselves. I found out that they can because when you mix the vinegar and the bicarbonate soda together it forms carbon dioxide gas. When the carbon dioxide gas rises up the candle, it pushes the oxygen away from the flame and so the candle goes out. Candles can not burn without oxygen so they went out without me blowing them out. This was interesting to watch. I enjoyed this experiment a lot.

Myths

Each week my class and I have been reading a myth and completing an activity. We have 15 activities to choose from and we only have to do 5 of them. It is fun doing them and trying all of the different activities. I have done three and I am up to my fourth one now. My favourite activity so far has been activity number two. I read one myth from the website a week and do a activity for that myth. I think all of the myths I have done are creative in many different ways. There are lots of great myths to read. My favourite myth that I have read would have to be Matilda's Bracelet. The activity I did for this myth was write a poem for your story. You had to make the poem up by yourself. It was fun an interesting trying to make the words rhyme with the other words. To make this poem I had to burn around the edges and use different paper. Here is my poem. Hope you like it and think it is creative.
