Poem

Poems,

For our Writing this week we had to make a poem. We could either choose to make a Limrick, Huiku or a Cinquain, I chose to do a Limerick. For this we learnt about syllables and how for a Haiku you have to have 5 syllables in the first line the 7 in the second line and then again 5 syllabes.

Here is my Limerick

Have you every wrote a poem before?

Pool day.

Waltham Pool,

On the 19th of November we went to the Waltham Pool. Every time at the end of the year we go to Waltham Pool and we have a swim for about 2 hours to celebrate the end of the year. This years pool day was fun but it was also quite cloudy and wasn't the best weather but yet we still had to put on sunscreen. Each year got a 30 minute time on the hydroslides but I did not go on them. There were big inflatable toys that we could play on and everybody was on them so it made it hard to get onto. 

What do you like to do in the pool.

Top Team

On Friday a few weeks ago Top Team came to our school and
year five to eight participated. There were a series of challenges
and we were put into groups to do them. My favorite activities were the water activities because it was hot on the day. I would like to do it again next year. because it was a fun way to end the week and we got to build up our teamwork.

Has Top Team ever come to your School?

Tough Kids

On the 20th of November year three to eights did a fun obstacle 

course called Tough Kids. This was an event that was part of many 

schools so it was fun to mix and make some new friends. The 

obstacle was made in south new Brighton and had inflatable 

obstacles and water obstacle. I would definitely do this again 

if we could.

Were you one of the kids that did Tough Kids?

Reading Create Task.

For our reading create task this week we had to annotate a
poem and put what we visualize. Visualize using all of the
senses and talk about how this enriches meaning. For this
task we had to pick five to six sentences and comment
about what we visualized when we read it, here is the annotated poem.

Attitude Presentation.

Hi there, A few weeks ago we had an organization come in
and talk to the year 7/8 hub about
how we change physically
and spiritually as we grow
older. At first it felt a bit uncomfortable
but after we got to know the people that were teaching us and
got a bit more deeper into the discussion it didn't feel that
uncomfortable any more. We had two days of this and after the
people went we did some more study on it including Hauroa
which is the four sides of us.
