Jasmine's Camp Poem

Camp Poem

Another fun day was rising,
As other people were realizing,
That today was the day for the beach!

We all hopped into the bus,
Without any fuss,
Though the top of
the bus was out of reach.

Morning tea is very close
And all my food is very gross.
The black sand is steaming hot.

Learning how to recognize a rip
makes me want to bite my lip.
Thinking about this
Makes me want
to trot.

Lunch is super near
I smell the fear
For me to eat!

Ran down the glittery sand
slipping off my hand,
Beating my feet on the ground
with the best beat!

Room 5 were all talking about Kiwiana. We had to make anything that is made in New Zealand. I did a gum boot. After that we had to put NZ icons inside our New Zealand feature.

example of an information report
The Elephant  Africa – Asia
The elephant is quite a strange animal which has two dreadful tusks and a trunk The cow elephant has one baby
every four years–which heights one meter and weighs 100kgs–which makes of him a big baby elephant!
one hour after his birth the baby elephant can already walk!His mother guides the elephants first steps because
his legs  are still shaky.
Even though they never look after their "kids", the male elephants pay attention to the young they meet. They gather
armfuls of grass or break a few branches.
The baby elephants remain close to their mother.
At about 11 years old, the male baby elephants leave the herd where they grew up. They then join other males.

Room 5 is creating Kiwiana stamps. We made it about something that’s native to our country. It is an L&P bottle.

There, Their and They're by Maggie

There, Their and They’re
There
You use “there” when you say where is the object or living thing. For example: Look! There is the Ice-cream truck.
Their
Use “their” when you say something belongs to them. For example: That is not our Kitty, it is their Kitty.
They’re
“They’re” is short for “they are”. So when you are using it, if they are doesn’t make sense, “they’re” is not going to work either. For example: They’re going to the Movies.
