Matariki vs diwali, compare and contrast

 

For our celebrations work, we had to do a compare and contrast. We basically had to compare both of them and then find out the things they do similarly. It was really fun and I couldn't really figure out what they had similar. So I hope you enjoy, Bye.

Quatrains

There was a monkey called Blade

who had a very nice house maid

he was swinging from some trees

and fell into a bucket of bees

There is a man called Santa Claus

and he likes to give presents

one night he felt animal paws

and the animal knocked him to the floor

I like to eat chocolate

its very good for you

but dont eat too much

or you'll do a big poo

There was a plant his name was France

and liked anyway to dance

One of his branches went *SNAP*

and he can no longer do tap

Caption: Here is my Quatrain poems, I really hope you like them. I worked very hard on them. What one is your favourite, my favourite is the last one. All you have to do is make a rhyme scheme and it has to rhyme with something, it is four lines, the poem is really easy to make, you can make it about anything. Bye, hope you enjoy.

Limericks

There was once a dog named Billy (A)

and he liked to be very silly (A)

he saw another dog (B)

and fell on a log (B)

and his owners started calling him Milly (A)

There was once a mouse called Brad (A)

and people thought he very rad (A)

he was eating some cheese (B)

then along came some bees (B)

and the king was a very massive lad (A)

Caption: Hello, these are some limericks that I wrote. I hope you like them because it took me a bit to write them. It was confusing at the start but then I got the hang of it. The first one is about my dog called Billy and the second one is about a mouse I found and I called it Brad. There has to be five lines in a limerick, the first two and the last line have to rhyme and the third and fourth line have to rhyme, the three lines that rhyme have to have 7-10 syllables and the two that rhyme have to have 5-7 syllables. Anyway hope you enjoyed, Bye.

Where in the world

 

     This is my where in the world google doc, its somewhere to Tokyo Japan. It was quite difficult. I had to measure the distance which was easy. So all I had to do was bunny click on one of the each ends and click measure distance and click the track from it and it will tell you down the bottom how many km ( kilometres ) there is. Hope you enjoy, bye.

Capillary action

 

Today the year 6`s did a science experiment, it was amazing. We got 6 cups and put them in a circle, then we put the water in 3 cups 1 away from each other and put a few drops of food colouring in 1 cup with water each, then we put folded paper towels in between one of the cups with food colouring and one of the empty cups, watch the water molecules be absorbed and travel up the paper towel into the other cup and see the two colours mix. We also put a flower in the red cup and are going to leave it over the weekend and see if it travels to the white part of the flower. Hope you enjoy, bye.

Cleirhew poems

There was a girl called Katie

she was not a matey

she liked to eat Mcdonalds

but then she got the wobbles.

There was a bear called Paddington 

He liked to eat lamingtons

one day he was eating a sandwich

and got a little itch

There was a girl called Dora

she had a monkey called Boots

she was a giant explorer 

and went on some adventures for loot

There was a boy called Terry 

and he was very merry

He liked to be funny

but it didn't entertain the Bunny's

Caption: These are poems called Cleirhew poems, they are very fun to make. All you do is think of a person you know or  a famous person or a friend or a book character and think what they like doing and and what sort of stuff they do and like and the first two and last two can rhyme or the first and last one can rhyme, it is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Hope you can make one by my instructions or just search up how to make one. Hope you enjoy, Bye
