My egg

On Tuesday room 2 became  egg parents we had to make a home  for them .  We also had to make up a name my egg is called eggward . One of the adventures eggward had was going to ripper rugby with his friend dieggho . If our egg cracked  we were out of the challenge .

Foul shot 

In writing this week we have been learning about the poem foul shot. We had to use verbs , 2 stanzas ,actions on a new lines .

With ten seconds hanging on the clock

she looks around and sees determined faces

She measures the the mat

Balances herself steady

Lines herself up

Runs faster and faster  

Flicks her legs

She lands

Bounces,

Wobbles ,

Tips ,

Rebounds

Flicks

And then                      

                                         And then

Lands ,

Lands cleanly

Just in the cusp of time.

To the unknown soldier  

In writing this week we have been writing to the unknown soldier we had to use short sharp sentences ,aaawwubbis  and opener sentences.

Dear unknown soldier

I’m writing to you to ask what it was like during those dreadful times . As I am writing to you,  I am sitting here in my warm cosy classroom thinking of the deafening gun shots, oozing blood and squishy mud. Your family and friends still remember you and cherish those memories with you .  I want you to know that we remember you  and will never forget you .

I can not imagine what it would  be like for you  in cold muddy trenches  surrounded by smelly decomposing bodies  and knee high mud. Was it hard leaving home? I hear that some soldiers found it so hard leaving home that they lied about sickness so they could go home . Did you lie about your age? Some men said they were 18 when  they were really only 15 !

Did you feel proud wearing your uniform? We learnt all about them with your big heavy drink bottles and saggy uniform. Did you cut your uniform like other soldiers did? Did you  get sent to Egypt thinking you were going to France on a big adventure ?

When I close my eyes and think of war,  I see barbed wire  fences, blood stained dirt and helpless dying  men  lying in heaps . Was it really as bad as all

that ?  Did you have children ? Oh the poor mothers and children that got separated and taken on trains to  all sorts  of different places .  

I am only 10 yet I  already know a lot about war. I want to thank you for serving our country.

Yours sincerly

Amelia Ross

river

My river info-graphic  

This is my info-graphic about river study. We used a turbidity tube to see how clear the water was. We also used a net to catch the macro invertebrates in the river and we learnt what a healthy river should have and what it should look like. We learnt that the  perfect temperature for a healthy river should be no higher than 15 degrees. 

The water was cold !

writing

This is my writing

Take a trip inside my mind, to where everything is crazy and every things odd.

At times my mind is empty and I don’t know what to do but when it turns back on and I’m fine with what I do.

I have

two little brothers called Charlie and Patrick but if you get on the wrong side of Patrick you will walk out with scratches and bruises.

I dream of getting a dog and dad wants one to but mum wants a cat so where not sure.I wonder

If in the future  kids will be glued to screens or if they will care .My hope

Is that people have super powers so when we do cross country we can use super speed and come first .

I can often be doing gym in in the aisle of the supermarket.

When no one is watching I sneak into the cupboard  and sneak some chocolate without mum knowing .

I can often

Be doing gym in in the aisle of the supermarket.

UV rays bracelets

For our science unit we have been learning about UV rays so Mrs T brought  UV ray beads to school and we got heaps of info and started to make bracelets with the beads. It was hard because we had to hand knit our bracelets. At last I finished my bracelet! So I tried on the beads to see if they could fit, and they did! Now I know when I am getting sun burnt!!

Making Jelly -

Today we are making jelly. We have to get 500 mls and poured it into a measuring cup. Then we had to pour it evenly into four cups. We first had to 1/2 500mls to 250 mls then 1/2 250 mls to 125 mls. So we have ended up with 125mls  in each cup. Then we went up to the hall and we got boiling hot water into the bowl then we put the jelly in the bowl. Then we had put the jelly in fridge.
