100 Word Challenge

A 100 word challenge is where you have to create a short piece of writing in 100 words or less using the provide prompt. Here is mine!

Slush. Slosh. Gumboots punching the snow on a clear winters morning, rolling three balls of snow, each one gradually getting bigger. 'Its body is formed. Time for a face and some arms', I think to myself.  Placing two icy sticks and stones on the snowman, I sense something is missing. "A carrot nose!", I cry aloud. I walk into the convenience store across the road to buy a carrot from the shopkeeper but, "I'm afraid it's the last one" he said, referring to a carrot in a little boy's hand. I sigh. "I guess the snowman'll have to be nose less!".

Onomatopoeia Poems

Oink! Honk! Smash! Crack! Onomatopoeia is a type of poetry which includes sound words that sound how they are spelled. This term at school we are learning about poetry as well as writing lots of our own poems. Onomatopoeia is the first type of poetry we explored, coming up with lots of different sound words such as ping, thwack and squelch. Here is a little onomatopoeia poem of my own! Listen to it and see what different sound words you can hear!

Gap Fillers

Since the Christchurch earthquakes, Gap Fillers has been filling gaps from fallen buildings with fun, family friendly areas including multiple golf courses, beautiful paintings and murals and a whole heap more!

Later in the term we will be planning, in groups, how we can improve a small area of our school. We will then spend three weeks actually putting our plans into action. As a part of this, we are lucky enough to be able to take a day trip into town, this Friday, to visit many of the Gap Fillers sites for inspiration. I can't wait to see what colourful creativity the local community has used to improve our city!

Breakfast Poem

Here is a little poem I wrote about my breakfast and my morning routine (for the weekends). I don't eat porridge all the time but I do eat it a lot. I hope you like my poem!

Breakfast time! Says my brain

I think it might be slightly insane

I boil the jug and search for oats

I like my porridge, yes I do! 

That creamy substance, that ain't hard to chew

I'm sure you would quite like it too

Sprinkling brown sugar over top

Milk and fruit just finishes it up

I eat it all before the toaster pops

Cos' I'll butter that toast for Mum in bed

Once the dishwasher is all loaded

It's time to relax, perhaps a game on my iPad?

Term 2 Science - Energy

Spark! Bam! Whizz! Smack! This term we did science expiriments based around energy. First we had to do some research followed by expirimenting, planning our final product and then finally creating electrical circuits in groups of three. Through lots of expirimenting and hard work my group ended up with a really cool torch which shines green light. I created a comic life explaining the process we went through.
