Cinquain and Diamante Poems

 Hey Readers!

Last week for writing we wrote poems.

We wrote 2 different poems a Diamante and a Cinquain.

Here are the videos we watched:

My favourite one to do was probably the CInquain one.

Here is my Cinquain: 

WAR

Violent, Horrible

Shooting, Killing, Running 

The worlds at war

ANZAC

Here is my Diamante:

War,

Scary, Miserable

Guns, Shooting, Trenches 

Turkish, British,Germans,Kiwis

Tanks, Planes, Bullets

Disease, Shrapnel

ANZAC

The hardest part was thinking of the four word phrase.

My Favourite part was doing the publishing.

See ya next time!

Tectonic Plates and Volcanoes

Tectonic Plates

For the first 2 weeks of this term we have been learning about Tectonic Plates and Volcanoes which is under the topic of planet Earth and Beyond. We have been doing lessons in homerooms.

I think it was fun learning about Tectonic Plates and about how mountains are created. It was challenging learning about all the fault lines. 

Have you ever learnt about Tectonic Plates?

Sorry it's a short post today there wasn't much to write, most of the information is in my DLO. 

Bye!

Song Writing

 Hey Readers!

Last term we wrote songs with Mr. McIntyre. Although he isn't at our school

anymore, he had to leave at the end of last term.

We had to write:

 A chorus

At Least 2 verses 

and a

Title

It was challenging thinking of a topic and the chorus.

I enjoyed using the Kandinsky Circles in chrome music lab to create my song.

It was a challenging to find a quiet place to record.

I wrote my song about Christchurch. I don't think it turned out very well

BUT

I had loads of help and I appreciate it! (Thank you Mrs.North 😉!)

I think that the best bit is the 1st verse:

Here in Christchurch we have the lot:

A crazy bunch, we are top.

Attractions, buskers, sports and schools.

Christchurch is great, we’re so cool

The bit that could be improved on the most is the chorus:

We have the lot.

We have the plot. 

We have the lot.

Give it a shot.

We are top.

We will give you a shock.

I couldn't think of a title so its kinda weird uhh yeah its Christchurch is Good

I know, waay too simple.

Oh, Well.

Here is the full lyrics to my song:

🇳🇿 Christchurch is good 🇳🇿

Verse 1:

Here in Christchurch we have the lot:

A crazy bunch, we are top.

Attractions, buskers, sports and schools.

Christchurch is great, we’re so cool.

Verse 2:

Here in Christchurch we have the lot:

From zoo’s to awesome gelato spots.

our rivers will make you quiver our people will too.

Here in Christchurch we welcome you.

Chorus:

We have the lot.

We have the plot. 

We have the lot.

Give it a shot.

We are top.

We will give you a shock.
