Gratitude Journal

In Room 5 this term Mrs. Drummond bought us gratitude journals! Gratitude journals are notebooks that we write what we're grateful for in. At the end of the day, we write three things that we're grateful for we cannot do the same thing every day. This is my notebook!

Writing a Haiku

This week we have been writing haikus. These are the rules of a haiku, firstly you have to have five syllables in your first sentence then seven and then five again. In a haiku, you don't have to make it rhyme. This my haiku.

                                        Sea

             Splashed on the earth

                           The opposite of fire

                           Crashing in the sand

  

Haiku

                                 Stars

                           Glimmering at night    

                        

                        Little suns lighting up sky

                            

                           Watching over us

A Sun Poem

The sun

The sun is a firey gold coin
blazing in the blue sky.
It is a melting fireball
waiting to be put out.

The sun is a light bulb
rolling in the sky.
It is a bright ball
flushing everyone with heat.

The sun is a 
glowing sphere.
It is a giant lemon
burning in the sky.

Marae Visit

This week we went to the Unitec marae. Whaea Jess and Whaea Linda welcomed us onto the marae. We all took our shoes off and went into the marae. When we got into the marae, my grandpa (Matua Hare) introduced us to the staff. Papa Hau and Whaea Jess taught us some songs and we sang Ka waita to the staff. Then we went and had the best scones ever for morning tea and had a play outside and went headed into the bus. I can't wait for next we had a great time!

Science Expeirmrent

Today we did a science experiment! It was about what happens when you put salt on ice, we did it with our table. So basically this is what happened: when you put the salt on the ice it made the ice crackle and made the outside hard. In the end, we got to throw them up into the air and watch them crack I learnt that big ones make bigger cracks and if you put more salt on them it makes a bigger crack.

Egg Sitting

Last week in Room 5 we were egg sitting! It was like looking after a real human, because it needs warmth, love and most of all looking after. Sadly my egg cracked on the second to last day. We learnt a lot about how to keep ourselves safe!
