snowflake

                                            Snowflake

Amongst the clouds, the snowflake drifts.  Meandering along, it weaves its way along the bustling streets.  Below the clouds, it grows every second, and realises its unique beauty.  Sinking to the ground, the snowflake twirls gradually to the ragged pavement.  With no sound, landing on a bench, it melts leaving only water.  Another one will take its place.

My science adventure

                       My  Science  Adventure  2016 

  This year for science, we focused on 'planet earth and beyond'.  My question was " why and how was the solar system created ".  The answer to my question is that 4.5 billion years ago a hydrogen cloud formed from space gases and rocks.  The middle was like a magnet, and sucked in the gases and rocks.  Then 3 million years later, it burst into spheres made of the gases and rock it sucked in, the spheres were also many sizes.  Then the magnet from the middle of the cloud, became the sun we see today.  We had 9 weeks to complete a video of our question with Mr Gemmell, a 3D model with Mrs Strathern and gymnastics with Mrs Hobbs.  Hope you like my video I made with Mr Gemmell!      
   

                                                         Hope you like my video!

Tough-kid Challange

                                  Tough-Kid   Challenge

                                               2016

This year,  Mr. Matthews held the first Tough-kid Challenge!  It included, water slides, the mud-run, and lots of other fun things like that.  My favourite part was the mud run because it felt different than the normal things I do.

Masterchef

                                           Master Chef

This year,  our class did a master chef competition for the healthy eating focus.  First we started with sandwiches as a practise round in groups of four. 

Then we made groups of six.  The group I was in included, Max,  Finn, Braxstyn, Helena, Mackenzie and me.  We made pulled pork wrap, and made it to sell them at the tough kid challange for the lunch order.

awaking flowers

                                 Awaking flowers

Thirsty leaves whimper quietly as they wait for rain to come.  Shiny steel pots groan as they’re pushed along the porch.  Delicate petals awake from their peaceful slumber as the sun peers out from behind the frosty mountains.

Sweet pea vines collide silently as they fight for their own space.  Tulips yawn slowly as the sun gradually rises.  Bluebells do a morning twitch and stretch.

koru art

                                              Koru  Art

For the first piece of art this year, we did koru art to show important people in our lives. We could use the koru, {new beginnings} pitau {love} or manapare {strength} I did red, orange and dark yellow for the inside of it and purple, sky blue and dark blue for the outside. Mrs Strathern showed us a smudging technique to make the picture pop out. I am very proud of it.

'Black' poem

                                                Black

Black is nightmares filling a horrified child's thoughts through out the windy night.

It is hairy monsters rising from under the dark, messy depths of your bed.

Black is night time with a putrid surprise of creepy crawlers darting up someone's jittery legs.

It is horrid thoughts of what a dreadful day it had been.

Aunty similes

              Similes response to ' James and the giant peach '            

                     by Roald Dahl 

                 1.   Aunt Spiker is as long as an ancient warrior's sword. 

                 

                 2. Aunt Sponger looks as rotten as a putrid rusty rubbish dump.

         

                 3. Their words meanly pierce into James's like a dagger hitting him suddenly.
