Alliteration

We have been learning about alliteration.  We know that when the words start with the same sound it is alliteration.

Expressing Ourselves

We have been Expressing Ourselves through our art work. We made pictures of some feelings and thoughts that we sometimes have.

Our Poems

We have been learning how to write poems.

We will know we have done this when we have done the following:

Followed the structure
Started each sentence on a new line
Used puncuation correctly
Expressed thoughts and ideas that are special to me

Here are some of our poems.

We went roller blading

My gran showed me how to knit

Name Poems

We have been expressing ourselves through writing poetry. We have been writing name poems about ourselves or other people. We had to remember to follow the structure, use adjectives, put upper case letters at the start of the line and make it neat so people could read it.  It also had to make sense. 

Earthquake

Milly wrote this at home soon after the earthquake.


Early Saturday morning we had an earthquake.  It woke up a lot of people.  Some people slept through the whole thing.  I got a huge fright and so did other people. I heard on One News that there has been about 300 aftershocks.  Some houses are badly damaged and homes are destroyed to pieces and pieces.  Hopefully people are not badly hurt.  The grounds are lifted and roads are cracked and power poles are falling. Some people are stuck at home but at least people can do other things like board games. Some streets have got water on the roads and roads are badly damaged.  One News is saying it will be over soon.  Cars have been covered in bricks.

Earthquake

In my opinion I think that earthquakes are scary becasue they move you around and it damages heaps of places.

I think that earthquakes are damaging our perfect place.

Another good point is that we should all be prepared for an earthquake.

Some people think that earthquakes will not happen here but we all know that they do.

Earthquakes can happen any old time.

Maths

We have been learning about symmetry, we know if we fold something on top of something else and it fits evenly that it is symmetrical.

We had our Learning Celebration about the perfect world.  Here are some of the models we made.  We liked parents and caregivers coming in to see them.
