Emotional Poetry!

Yesterday in class we looked at writing emotional poetry. Students drew a random emotion out of a bag and had to try and write a poem on that emotion. We used cues such as 'What would that emotion look like?', 'What would that emotion sound like?' and 'What would that emotion feel like?'.

The students wrote some AMAZING poetry. Have a look below and see if you can guess what emotion they were each writing about!

Lydia's blog post about our Duffy Assembly

Today we had a duffy assembly. In the duffy assembly we had a visitor and his name is Myron Simpson. Myron Simpson is a track cycler. He has won 2 medals a gold 1 and a silver 1. Today in the duffy assembly I learnt if you go over 40 kilometers when driving past a school zone you will have to pay $700. I also learnt that everything that a cycler wears is made out of carbon fibre. Another thing I learnt was about the word aerodynamic. Myron Simpson told us that the fastest he has ever went on his bike was 110 kilometers. Myron Simpson is a role model because he does things that people want to do.  He also inspires people that want to do what he does. I really enjoyed this duffy assembly because I got a certificate and a duffy book, I also got to wear Myron Simpsons sunglasses.

SAFETY STARTS WITH ME

We are very lucky as each week we will have a different visitor come to our class to talk to us about the many ways to be safe. 

This week we had the school nurse come and talk to us about how to be safe with our hygiene. 

It was really interesting and we made some great presentations to reflect on our work!

Here are some:

The Holi Festival

Do you know what the Holi Festival is?

In Room 8 today, 9 of our students completed a reading on the "Holi Festival" and learnt all about what it is, why it is celebrated, and where it is usually celebrated. 

I could tell you all about it myself, but instead, why not have a look through their brilliant presentations!
