Going to Year Five

I have had a great time in year four and now I am going to year five (one step further) and I am going to have a great time no matter what happens. It will be sad to leave my teacher and some of my friends but I am going to make new friends which is great!!! My family and I are going to have a relaxing holiday to get ready for a new year. I hope my teacher and I will still keep in touch so we can keep doing our blogs.

Good Shepherd Home Christmas visit

This week we all went to the Good Shepherd Home and  performed a Christmas concert. We went there because we wanted to do something good for the community. My friends and I got in a group and decided to sing a song called The Bear Necessities (a song out of the movie The Jungle Book). At first we made up some actions to the song and some dance moves. When we had finished making up the moves we showed our teacher and she said that our voices didn't sound clear because they were bobbing up and down while we where singing the song, so we only did the actions. When we got to the old peoples home we sat at the sides of the stage and waited for all of the old people to get there. The concert started and finally it was our turn. We got up on the stage and did our part to help the community. We did a great job and I felt very proud of myself!

Emotions Poem

 

An emotion poem is a poem which has our five senses in it and they are taste, smell, look, sound and feel. It always has an emotion that you talk about like anger, love, hate, joy and fear. The emotion poem that I wrote is on love, I hope you enjoy it!

LOVE

Love is like a red ruby.
It tastes like the sweetest candy,
And it smells like a beautiful red rose.
Love looks like a flowers budding petals.
It sounds like the prettiest music.
Love feels like a babbies hand.

Another Free Verse Poem

I wrote this poem because my family loves music and I love it to!

MUSIC
Music is like a humming bird
which always likes
to sperad its wings
and sing a little song.
Music is like a tune
which always seems to bloom.
Music is like bunch of farmyard friends
which noisey noises never really ends.
Music is my favourite thing
I like to dance
and I like to sing.
I love to sing
and I like to do everything!

I hope you liked it!

Free Verse Poem

At school we were writing a free verse poem which is a poem that has lots of language features and I am going to tell you mine.

LOVE

Love is like a red rose
which always seems to bloom.
The cars,
the stars,
the moons,
the spoons,
and even the Universe
wouldn't be the same without love.
With the love
that we all share
in this wide world
we could do anything.
Just to think that
if we didn't have our beloved God
we wouldn't have anything-
no cars,
no stars,
no moons
no spoons
no anything!
I love love,
so you should love it to.



I hope you liked my poem.

My play

At school we have been practicing a play during performing arts and at lunchtimes. We have formed a small group of about 7. Our play is called "Princess Euphorbia." It is about a girl who has green hair and nobody wants to marry her. It's a bit silly because when she does find somone she kisses him and he turns into a frog.

It has been quite interesting making costumes and props. We have had a load of fun and we are looking forward to performing the play at an old people's home in our area.

In our Inquiry into a network of friends and a networked community we have been talking about how we can be a friend to people in our community.

We were thinking that we could have a foundation box at our concert and people could put money into it. Some members of the group want to donate the money to the RSPCA which is a refuge for abandoned animals. We could also donate any money raised that we can raise to a charity which could help children - something like Ronald McDonald House, the Women's Shelter, Camp Quality, Make a Wish Foundation, the Children's hospital or World Vision.

We need to do lots more rehearsing to be ready for performances!

Stay tuned!!!
