Black Horror

Kia ora

This week we have been learning how to describe a place better by using ideas from our senses. We had to choose a picture and then describe it.

Black Horror

The black trees are like dark, twisty shadows.

The path smells like a humongous dead possum.

The grass felt as slimy as spit.    

I was shivering when the coldness was crawling up my back.

  The  birds were whispering to me in the never ending fog.

Cross Country 2017

Kia Ora this week and I came 21st. at the start I had butterflies in my stomach I slipped over a lot of times because of the mud we had to go through 4 or 5 paddocks i felt so nervous all of the people           at the end of the Cross country I felt like a lazy dead cow            

Learning how to write reports about a scientific experiment.

Kia ora.

We are having a science fair this term so we needed to learn how to write a report about a scientific experiment. Our teachers chopped a piece of scientific writing into bits and we had to sort them out into the right order. We had to match the structure clues with the correct sentences and paragraphs. It was tricky. When we were finished we used the report to carry out a floating and sinking experiment using Blutack.The Blutack wouldn’t float unless we squeezed  it into the shape of a boat. It was fun. Here is a picture.
