Clouds

WALT use information from our reading to write a poem.
Clouds
Rain goes in a water cycle when rain and water make puddles 
then it start’s to evaporate into the clouds and comes back down, 
that’s when it rains,
then keeps going round and round.

Clouds


Clouds float low and high

in the glimmering blue sky. 
They help our plants grow tall and strong.
Clouds give the rivers water to flow.
They also give the sea some water so we can
jump in with a one, two, three.

Clouds
Clouds help our plants grow.
They travel through the sky.
They make me happy-they make me sad.
They bring me joy- they make me mad.
Clouds are wonderful every season of the year.

CLOUDS
Clouds fly in the sky.
They look beautiful when they are high. 
You wish you were tall enough to see that every cloud is different.

WALT use our new knowledge about clouds to write a poem.


CLOUDS

Clouds floating in the sky
sometimes low sometimes high.
Some clouds are black
and some clouds are white
and when it rains and it has finished
the clouds evaporate the left over
drops of rain.

Room 1s information posters

Posted by Picasa


We have been learning to design an  information poster using the information we collected about dinosaurs during our inquiry. 
Some of the success criteria were to have a message, colour, title and use an image through creative commons.

Thomas' story about the death of his dog Tui.

Read Thomas' sad story about the death of his dog Tui. What powerful personal voice he has put in his writing.


It was a normal night and Tui was sitting on her mat.  Mum thought she was having a hard time breathing.  The next morning we took her to the vet.  We had to wait until it was our turn. First they weighed her and then we went into a room.  They said they would have to do an operation.  I felt scared.  The next day Dad took us back to the vet.  We went into a room and they showed us some x-rays which showed the fluid that they had drained out of her.  We took her home and they said to keep an eye on her.  
A week later she was having trouble breathing so Mum took a video on her ipad and we had to put her down.  
I was so sad.  We walked into the room and the vet came in and had an injection for Tui. They put a little bit in then more and more until it was all gone.  
Tui had lost the fight.  There was silence.  Then we wrapped her up and put her in the ute.  We drove home and Dad started to dig a hole.  Once it was finshed he put her into the hole and left her in peace.
