Christmas metaphor poem

Red gummy snakes on pohutukawa trees.

Fruit mince pies hanging on christmas trees as a ornament.

Ice blocks glistening like the snow melting.

The sleigh bells ringing like a bell in a store full of people.

Snowmen in a group like a family dinner.

Walking through New Zealand as warm as Hawai.

Flashing lights as sirens on police cars.

Walt:Write a poem with metaphors

A metaphor is when something is Said to be something else.

E.G The sun is a bright red strawberry.  

The moon is a banana in a sky of leaves.

The starfish twinkle in a sea space far away.

Metaphor Poem

The dark chocolate mud balls.

Red cotton candy skies.

The grass sparkling glitter.

The street lights as white and red candy canes.

The roads made of hubba bubba seriesly strawberry tape.

The rain as coke a cola and fanta.

The sun is a star fish.

The moon is a chocolate bar with a  bite taken out of it.

The lighting as sour as a warhead.

The rivers made of gummy snakes.

Red poem

Red Poem

Red the colour of flowers on the top of a hill making the whole town smell nice.

Red the colour of blood when you fall of your scooter and hurt your knee.

The colour of a fire truck rushing down the street with all its lights flashing to get to a fire.

The colour of a fresh strawberry getting bit into with the yum juice filling your mouth making your taste buds go crazy.

Red, lots of ways to describe it from light to dark from happiness to sadness.

Red

Blue poem

Blue Poem

Blue, the colour of the sky on a warm summer's morning with no clouds in sight.

The ocean,  full of people, shining like a diamond.

The fresh smell of dark paint on a brand new house.

A blue whale waking up in the morning to blow its horn to scare away sharks.

Blue, lots of  shades, from dark to light like the feelings of sadness through to joy.

Some people wonder how sand was made in this i will  say how it was made in my way. Sand was made a really long time ago there were  two dinosaurs  named Karta and Joshua. They both hated each other and every time they had a fight they would throw rocks at each other every time they threw a rock it would hit the other person or the other person would put their hand out and it would hit there hand . They would keep on throwing the same rocks at each other then after a while they got really small and turned into sand.

What is the best superpower to have? Why?

Walt-  Convince others to agree with us  

                                     -Include a powerful ending

I believe that the best superpower to have is supersonic speed. Today I am going to be trying to persuade you to say it is the best superpower.

Of course you would be really fast like the flash you would be able to get to places really fast if you're late for work and if you're at home and you're going to the rugby or soccer you would be able to get there in like 20 minutes even though it's a 30-40 minute drive usually you will be there really fast so you won't be late.

Also you will win races against anything you would even probably be able to run on water since your so fast it would keep you fit be famous and you could get recruited to the police so if there's a high speed police chase you can just get handcuffs run to the other car put their car in neutral and put them in the back of the police cruiser.

For example if your really fast you would be famous for catching the most bad guys being the fastest person in the world you would be able to help people if they call 111 you can get there with a medic kit and  make sure they're ok and the house is clear of anyone else and if they're not ok you can call the ambulance and tell them to get there really fast so the patient will be ok.

For these reasons this is why I think supersonic speed is the best superpower if you agree with me please leave a comment.

If you kept it you would be famous but you would have to pay for all its food and water.

It would be a cool pet but you would have to block all your fences.

Why I Should Be The New Rm6 Librarian

I always wanted to be the librarian for our class  i've only ever been it once and that was 2 years ago when i was a yr4 I am good with computers and I like helping out my school and my class i would be able to work with anyone in my class. I have always wanted to be able to help out my class at the library i've always thought it would be a fun job to help out other people it would be my one of  choices of a job to choose from. I'm interested of how it all works behind the counter i know how to do it but it was along time ago but i still remember where to go to search for books, issue books back and reserve books and everything else i am responsible with computers so i wouldn't break anything. My friends said i'm good with being responsible and knowing how to work computers my mum did as well.

Sports Or No Sports

This is about sports should children go outside and do sports with for about one hour a day or should they stay in their class and learn more.

Not enough P.E is making kids unhealthy and tired because it's not waking them up and making them not get faster.

There are a lot of sports kids can do at school like Rugby, Soccer, Hockey and other sports but the gear costs a lot of money that the council isn't giving schools. It is important that children get outside to do sports more often in school time.

The Woods

They are afraid but the called upon all their courage they walked into the woods towards the dark face in the woods the three boys were so scared they jumped over the fence to search for their dirt bike with the number ten on it.

We searched and searched for ten minutes hiding from the face but we found the motorbike so we turned it on to try and run from the face.

The face was gaining on us because we were running out of gas so we had to hop off it and run the boys were getting tired so they hid behind a tree and waited for the face to pass.

The face finally passed so the boys found a gas can with motorbike gas in it so they went back to the motorbike it was really far away.

We finally got to the motorbike we filled it up with gas and rode away home and escaped from the face.

Year 6 camp

By Joshua

It was a nice Wednesday morning and the bell had rang so we had to go to rooms 18 and 19 to get told what car we were going to camp in i went with Jericho. When we got there the parents had to park on the field and we had to take our bags to this patch of grass to get told what cabins we were in and about the place and ask the owner some questions. I was in the house and the people in my cabin with me were Kees, Sam, Kaymen, Caleb, Dezal, Hayden, Jaike and myself. After we put our bags in our cabins we walked around the place to get a tour to see where stuff was like challenges and the pool and waterslide. Next we got told our groups I was in the sweatshirts then we did 3 challenges that day after we ate dinner and did the dishes and our chores if you had one we watched a movie about a rat that controlls someone by pulling there hair and he became a good chef and then we went to bed. The next day we had breakfast then did the rest of our challenges for the day but we stopped for morning tea lunch afternoon tea and then when we finished our last obstacle we went down the waterslide and in the pool had a shower and then we had dinner got dressed in our pyjamas and watched The Croods then went to bed. The next morning it was Friday our final day we had a big breakfast because we were doing king and queen of the mountain i walked and it took me 27 minutes to get to the top but like ten minutes to go down. After that we packed our stuff up if we hadn't already and had lunch and then it was time to go home with your parents or go back to school and that was my journey of year 6 camp.

15.3.16 Demolition day
By Joshua T

One day there’s meant to be some diggers coming into the school to knock down Rooms ten and 11. I don’t think they should be demolished because people have really good memories from those classes. They could just refurbish them and keep them for storage room. Also it is costing a lot of money to destroy them and get all the stuff cut off. Sadly they are getting demolished well we're at year 6 camp so we won't see it get demolished.

These are the things i like

This is one of my word clouds about school.

Flags

What do you think about our New Zealand flag? Is it time for a change?

I don’t think the flag should be changed.

It looks to much like the Australian flag. But Australia might change their flag.

It has the Union Jack and we don’t to be part of it. But people died for the original flag.

We have to go all the way to England for games. But it's good fitness for them.

This is my Conrad Coppers Last Stand word cloud.

Why Waikanae

My mum moved to Waikanae because we have family here and also for work because they have good jobs in the area. I wanted to move here because of my family and also were close to Wellington so we can get to the Westpac stadium faster for Hurricanes rugby games and we are close to the TSB arena for events. They also have really good sports clubs. You might want to move to Waikanae for sports clubs like rugby, soccer, hockey and all sorts of other sports.
