Native Birds - Tauhou

Spring is nearly Sprung.

Earlier in the year, each Rm 12-er chose a herb and wrote to explain why it would be a good idea for us to grow it. With Spring almost upon us, it is nearly time to get planting. Let's look back at our initial writing...

Term 1 - Sketching

Isaac and Callahan explain how they created their amazing self-portraits.

Jingles

Parents of Room 12 may remember the Sanitarium ad for Peanut Butter in the early 1990's, "I'm an utter peanut butter nutter..."
Well we watched that last week, and were inspired to write our own jingles.

Foggy Mornings

You may remember there was a very foggy morning last week, the perfect opportunity for some descriptive writing. We were especially trying to use similes and metaphors. Enjoy!

I wake up in the morning and look out frozen my window, All I can see is fog. I get ready for school, then leave. Walking, it is as cold as ice. I can’t see 5 meters in front. It is so cold it feels like the fog is stabbing me. When I get to school the heat rushes into me...

Callahan

As the sun glistens on the fog, the fog tries even harder to hold its place. Water drips off the grass down on to the dirt. It reaches out and grabs me. As I go down, he tells me what his life is about.

Codi

The fog is as white as an elegant pearl. 

Mysterious, gloomy arms come out of nowhere and grab me in a blink of an eye. 

I feel the fog but there nothing to feel. 

I see tinted white clouds surrounding me. 

Is there a way to get out? 

Neeve

Foggy, cold, smells like ice. It looks like a big ghost with ice swimming around you. You can feel the fog hugging your hands and your legs. My legs feel like they are going to be an ice cube. It tastes yuck and cold.

Summer

I walk outside, the fog is as cold as ice. The white blanket follows me to school. The sun blinds me. All I can see is darkness. I touch something sticky. I open my eyes and look at my hand. There is a web. The web grasps my palm and won’t let go. The web looks glorious.

Zayne

I am walking to school and the fog gathers around me like bees to honey.

I cant see.

The wind pulls the trees back and forth.

It looks like a frozen snowstorm that never blows away.

It feels as cold as ice.

It sounds as if you were to talk, the wind would just blow your words away.

Finally I get to school “Phew what a relief”.

Jahmiah

The fog is as cold as ice chasing after me as I walk slowly. I take one breath, the coldness attacks me. It looks like summer but it feels like winter. It’s a ghost surrounding me where ever I go.

Katelyn

As the fog rushes into my body, my body freezes.

I can hear the trees whispering to each other. I 

think, “This just looks like smoke”. Heading back

to the classroom I can see the icy fog clearing

out all around.

Krishan

The fog is as cold as ice as it drifts around Wattle Downs. The windows are full with condensation from the fog. Footsteps move through the fog. The fog pulls me with his icy hands, a grey shadow of smoke.

Colby

I walk outside, suddenly the cold fog wraps me up like a blanket. Im walking to school. I can see are car’s bright shining lights, the boring path and mysterious fog! It looks like spooky ghosts surrounding me. Ahhhhh, Im trapped, nowhere to get out. It feels like I’m getting swooped away by Jack Frost. He’s taking me to the sky it seems like it, because the clouds are so low! I’m amongst all of the clouds. I feel freezing cold but relaxed as I come back inside. It disappears slowly, I say goodby happily.

Thursday Science Swap

Every Thursday we swap with Room 14 for Science. Mr Munroe has been teaching us about Flight. Last Thursday we made parachutes. It was lots of fun.

Rocket Writing

As a warm-up before writing, sometimes Room 12 does Rocket Writing. Rocket Writing is when we have 3 minutes to write about a mystery topic. We don't find out the topic until the countdown begins.

Today our topic was: My Dad.

My dad is the best. When it comes to stock cars he drives and drives all day long. My dad is the best at everything, even boxing. Ding ding ding! That is the sound of my dad knocking someone out. My dad is cool. When it comes to baseball he will hit the ball all the way to the USA. My dad is the best.

Codi

My Dad is tall, he has orange, scruffy hair, people call him Freddy or Freddy Cougar, but I love him because he’s my dad. 

He plays sport with me. He comes to my netball games to support me. I’ll tell you what though, when it comes to the rules of netball he’s oblivious!

My Dad’s funny, a great builder and will always stand up for me. Thats my Dad, who I will always love no matter what.
