my colour poem

Bronze is the colour of rusted brass,
Green is the colour of the grass,
Blue is the colour of an enormous sea,
Red is my blood when a knife cuts me,
Pink is the colour of my mouth when I'm yawning,
Orange is the sunrise in the morning,
Yellow is the colour of the sun when its bright,
White is the colour of the moon in the night,
Black is the colour of my bruised thumb,
Purple is the colour of a very ripe plum,
Lavender is the colour of a flower blooming,
Brown is the colour of the horse I am grooming,
Gold is the colour of my mantelpiece,
Silver is the colour of my favourite,
Grey is the colour of a elephant at the zoo,
Beige is the colour of well poo.

Assembly.

Term 2 reflection

This term I learnt that 3d shapes and 2d shapes have different names. I enjoyed having Miss Barr with us and learning new things. I am looking forward to seeing my teacher again, learning more cool things, looking at flight and dancing. I am  not looking forward to cross country!

Book Review

Do you want to read a book about love, life and death? Then read The ACB with HONORA LEE by Kate De Goldi.

The ACB with HONORA LEE is about a girl called Perry who has a gran with a sickness called Alzheimer that mucks up her brain. Perry vists her gran everyday and decides to carry out an ABC book. Grans life is disturbed when her friend gets sick and leaves to hospital.

The main characters are Perry and gran. Perry has short hair and glasses. Gran often mistakes her for a boy. Gran also has short hair that is cut so it looks like a swimming cap.

I liked how Perry tried her hardest help gran get smarter. I liked this because it was caring. I disliked how everything was so sudden. I disliked this because there was not much information.

The main idea in this story is about helping someone with Alzheimer's because that's what Perry did.

I would recommend this book to ages 8+ girls or to someone with a relative that has Alzheimer's. I would do this because they would understand it the best.

Green

Green looks like fresh cool milk.

It tastes like squishy chocolate melting in my mouth.

It feels like a soft cotton bed.

It smells like the strongest, sweetest sugar.

It sounds like the soft whispering breeze.

100wc

One dark misty night as I lay in bed staring out the window I heard a creaking noise. I looked towards my bedroom door and saw the handle turning. And then the noise stopped. There was a silence in my room just as I thought it was only mum coming to make sure I was asleep. She didn't hear me so she thought I was asleep…but the door opened no one was there then I heard the soft sound of feet padding across the carpet I crouched under my covers the sound got louder as it came nearer and nearer.

100WC

To the survivors,'
You may feel like its the end of the world because your loved ones died but they will still be in your heart. Keep your feet on the ground and hold your head high to help you move on in life.
I hope you get the things you need to survive as fast as possible.
At the moment (for you) everything may feel impossible but it isn't.
You can still survive if you try it,it can be possible.
Everybody is thinking about you at the moment and we hope that you can live happily again soon.
From Gina Vardon School NZ.

100WC-Remembering

My great great grandfather gave me the power of a bullet the strength of a cannon and made me as wild as a poppy. Since the day I was born my skin was as brown as a warrior and my hair was as crazy as a gooseberry bush. I will always remember my great great grandfather the one who made me proud. He didn’t die in war he died by falling out of a hospital window. I never got to meet my great great grandfather of course because I was not even born but I can still be very proud.

Sweet Volcano

Have you ever seen a fizzy drink volcano? Well I have and I'm going to tell you how it erupts when you put mentos in.

In a fizzy drink there is CO2 (carbon dioxide). That's how bubbles are formed when CO2 gets covered by H2O (water). So when you put mentos in the fizzy it brakes the H2O and the CO2 escapes and multiplies before it flows over the sides.

So now you know what happens when you mentos in a fizzy drink try it for yourself.

Owner David Nasser said: “It is with a heavy heart that we announce Giant George died last night.”

Rainbow magic

Rainbow Magic

Have you ever wondered what happens when you put milk, dish washing liquid and food colouring in one bowl? Well I can tell you what happens.

It mixes. But how does it mix by itself? you may ask. In milk there is minerals vitamins and fat. Fat loves to chase dish washing liquid so it mixes the food colouring and you see it bubble and mix like a rainbow. If you use water instead of milk it will not mix because water only has minerals and vitamins. Also half of the dish washing liquid is scared of water. So the food colouring just shoots off to the sides.

Now you know what happens when you have milk, dish washing liquid and food colouring in one bowl try it for yourself and see the magic begin.
