Waves

The water swirls like the swirly wind, and my dog splashes in the light glittering water.

Kersplash! Some bright water splashes on my face and I am soaking wet!

Some sand tickles my feet and the sun heats my skin.

It is a beautiful and hot day.

Butterfly

The microscopic creature flutters and glides from plant to plant in the long crispy morning.

The obnoxious spiders and other fearsome insects feasting on the silky orange Monarch wait a second then munch on it.

                                                

Butterfly

Honey coloured wings flutter onto morning daisies. Sparkly silver glimmers on the curved coal-coloured outline.

Flower shaped leaves are their greatest, happiest delight.

Drops of rain shine still on the bright tulip .

The silky wings glow in the dusk as the sun slowly goes down.

The annoying scuttery creature flies back through the silky forest as it goes back to its nest.                                                                        

Monarch Butterfly

The crisp gold light colours of the amazing creature catch my eye. His incredible wings make the delicate creature stand out in the crisp morning sunlight. The butterfly takes off. I smell the lovely nature smell that brings me back to the garden. I see it twisting and turning then it starts to loop-the-loop around my head, almost like I am a play toy. I have never seen this before.

My white winter land

I see the white winter land as I come around the corner. It’s like I’m living in a gigantic ice cream. I can see lots of icicles glimmering and shimmering from trees.

The hard icy, grey snowflakes glimmer down from the sparkly clouds.

Bluebirds are twittering sweet songs. The cold breeze touches my frozen skin. I can smell sweet, cold fresh air while tasting the spectacular snow as it touches my face and slides down my skin.  

    

Suter Art Gallery

We walked in the freezing cold breeze to the Suter Art Gallery. When we got there it was worth walking in the cold. Then Esther came out and she told as to go inside. Sue put us in groups with a adult. We went around looking at all the art. Ester gave as a sheet. We decorated a print-out of the painting that we chose. It was the best trip ever.

 

Football skills

Room 8  went out  for football skills.It was fun specially when we used the soccer balls.I was a driver on a game called drivers and trailers

Water supply

In inquiry we are looking at water supply. Some people have no choice but to drink dirty water and they can get really sick. People in Afghanistan have to fetch their water and some villages have to fetch their water from water holes or a river. For example in Kroo Bay in Africa all the water is dirty so they have to drink it. Some countries have only dirty water so they can't drink it with out getting really sick. What can we do to help them?

My descriptive writing

I am on a tropical island near the Equator with glistening , clear and warm water lapping gently against the shore. Dark green trees stand out against the blue of the sky.

I can smell the sweet smell of ripe fruit on the trees mixed with the smell of the salty sea.

I stroll to a tropical bar and get a smoothie. It tastes great.

Feeling refreshed I get some coconut.

Back at the beach … CRACK! Lightning strikes. It’s a hurricane and it is heading fir land!

I get a plane home before it hits.

The news says it is all Crash! Bang! Crack! for the poor island.

Water Treatment Plant trip

A couple of weeks ago Room 8 went to the water treatment plant as part of this term's Inquiry topic. We  went in car groups. Sihyun was in my car. When we got there me and Sihyun had to wait in the car and do a worksheet. After a while me and other people who were in the cars doing  worksheets went inside to look. We got to see all the dirty water and a type of straw with a lot of holes in it. The  holes were for the little bugs so they could not get in. Then we went outside and the man showed an enormous tank full of water to go to people's houses. He said,  "It takes 4 hours to empty the big tank. " After that we all wet back to school!

Descriptive Writing

I can hear the waves bursting on the sand. The palms are swaying in the light wind. I see a school of rainbow fish darting across the fine, light and blue water. Just then – snap a coconut falls from a palm tree and it cracks. I smell the lovely smell of its milk oozing out from its shattered outside. This is the life!
