Five sentence challenge

Lightning is very freaky.  It can burn you and you can die.  Lightning can come anytime of the day or night.  They can zap you really fast.  When you hear thunder you jump out of your bed and go to sleep with your mum and dad.  lightning is yellow, also it is sparkly.  I am scared of lightning.  it is sizzlely and i get the shakes.  It is like bombs.

Lightning looks like a destroyed zombie and it looks like a burning sun.  the circle looks like and electric forcefield and a wizard man.  It looks like a wiggling storm and the other one looks like it is about to explode.

Lightning makes electricity.  It happens during a thunderstorm.  Lightning is bright.  Lightning has thunder so it creates fire and energy.  Storms are precious to lightning.  Ligtning comes from space.

Electricity.  Boom! Flash! Light! Sizzle!  I was scared when it went boom, flash, sizzle.  it looked like a tornado.  I was very scared and my brothers weren't scared when it first started.

In Room Six at Koraunui School we have been planting seeds for our patch in the school garden.  Room 6 have planted beans and other types of seeds.  Today we have been to our school garden.  it's looking wonderful.  Did you know our school garden hides behind our school pool?

Hop and Jip come to visit Room Six

 

Today Teah brought her rabbits to school.  They are only nine weeks old but already they are very tame and oh so cute!  We loved having them visit us.  Thanks Teah and Mum for making it happen.

Fireworks

Both of our blogging buddies wrote about fireworks and Mr Rockey posted a great photo.  For poetry today, we wrote our own class acrostic poem about fireworks and the children all have a copy in their poem books.  We had some great discussion and language when we were writing the poem.

Ka mau te wehi Room Six!

Fireworks

 By Room Six

Fireworks are colourful

It is pretty when they shine at night

Roaring in the sky like thunder

Exploding in the sky

When they burst they are beautiful colours

Orange, red, purple and yellow

Round like a juicy orange

Kids and adults love to see them cutting through the blanket of the night

Shaking and clattering our windows
