Isel park.

Last week we went on another visit to Isel park, we had so much fun. We finished up our sketching/drawing of the Redwood tree, our activity about Isel house and our information about the Redwood tree. Like how tall you think the tree is and how many people with stretched hands go around the tree it was 7!!! that is huge.

Blake's Poem

"The grass is as soft as a pillow on my bum. As the cars go by really roaring past my head. Birds
cheep,cicada's make a sound that you can not describe. Trees rattle in the wind leaves falling to
the ground and people stand on the leaf  crunch goes that leaf. The sun is hot on my back the
wind is talking to me. The wind is like fire though my my hair

My Space

My Space-My room

The black at night beautiful view of my cobwebbed fence.

Makes me want to kiss,

But I cannot do that.

I shall get poisoned.

Imaginative, amazing books,

So much fun to read,

And imagine this, imagine that.

It is like Christmas eve.

The bed, my bed.

Most comfy bed.

How I love it so much.

Oh! My teddys,

Captivating Fluff Cuff and Puppy.

Most best things in the world,

They are so so fluffy.

But there is a terrible thing,

My walls! My walls! My walls!

The white things,

Are not my sort!!

Poems!

 The field

The grass is moist and lush.

Bone dry twigs are scattered across the ground.

You hear roaring motor vehicles speed up and down the main road.

You smell the vivid car fumes and the beautiful fresh air.

I spy knotted, old, wise looking trees ,  I look down on city rooves. I peer at a playground ,  I spy the lush green grass growing beautifully. I notice the healthy electric green bushes and my classmates. The lovely cool breeze blows in my sweating face.     

I feel the scorching sun beating on my back.

A Family

A family is caring and helpful.
My sister is lovely,
so is my friendly brother.
My dad is nice and great,
so is my mum. she's kind-hearted.

Family's smell like roses and strawberry's
like love in the air and you are lucky because of the stuff they've done for you.
Family's are helpful,lovely,wonderful and generous.

Family's look like they are reliable,kind and thoughtful.

You hear chattering,knattering and what not.
''cheers'', your family say.

Your memory's come back after you have'nt seen family members for ages.

You release your love in a powerful way.

That's a whanua.

My beautiful dog!

In Class We Are Writing Poems This Is The first To Our blog

The smell of my beautiful dog!
He's very cheeky!
He loves to prance around just like a puppy!
He tumbles up and down the stairs!
He runs around with his stick all day!
He always eats a million biscuits, breakfast, lunch and tea!
OH HOW YUMMY!

Our Space, my Space and Outer Space

 In room 5 our topic theme is our Space, my Space and Outer Space. We wrote a poem about our Space and were we felt comfortable and safe. This is what our teacher got us to write in our Topic books :
He said we're going to mars you can take 20 things. Most people wrote food, water, clothes, family and pets in the end we could only have 4 things!
For Outer Space we watched videos about all the planets, stars and controlling a space shuttle. Some people think Earth is the biggest planet in space! But as you may know there are thousands of planets that are a billion or so times bigger than Earth! Earth is a tiny dot in space. Did you know that the sun  is about 109 times bigger that Earth.

Like every year the Parents, Teachers and winning team/class all race each other and the teachers dress up. Mr Davis dived in with his wig and hat still on. The hat ripped and the wig floated in the pool for Mr Davis' turn for the swim to the other side. The water was cold when you first hopped in. Everyone did very well.
