WHAT DOES A 'HICCUP' LOOK LIKE?


On Monday, we received another surprise from Elizabeth at INKLESS TALES. There are now 3 videos from her in our 'SECRET' part of INKLESS TALES.

There were lots of questions to answer, so we sent Elizabeth an EMAIL and we attached some RECORDINGS for her. They were : 1) a 'Hello' from us 2) us singing our 'National Anthem' 3) us singing 'dancing donuts'.
Elizabeth told us about a problem she has.
Elizabeth is writing a poem about a man who has the 'HICCUPS'.
Her problem is: WHAT DO 'HICCUPS' LOOK LIKE?
COULD WE HELP HER?
OF COURSE WE CAN!!!
Here's what WE think 'HICCUPS' look like!

Naomi's 'Hiccup' has 3 legs and it's the purple gloves that give you the 'Hiccups'!

Tierney's 'Hiccup' is very hairy!

Flynn's 'Hiccup' has long fingers that 'tickle' you and give you the 'Hiccups'!

Bryce's 'Hiccup' has lots of arms!

Emily's 'Hiccup' has lots of claws. Maybe that's what causes 'Hiccups'!

Patrick's 'Hiccup' is curved to fit in your throat.

Talia thinks 'Hiccups' are spiky!

Brooke's 'Hiccup' has lots of eyes to see where to 'Hiccup' you!

Callum thinks 'Hiccups' have long arms.

Billee-Jane's 'Hiccup' is a big square with lots of colourful hair all over it. You 'hiccup' invisible fluff balls because he is hairy. When his adult hair grows, the baby hair falls out and that's what you 'hiccup'.

WE EMAILED THESE OFF TO ELIZABETH, TOO. WE HOPE WE'VE HELPED HER SOLVE HER PROBLEM. WE CAN'T WAIT TO READ THE POEM!

IF YOU THINK YOU KNOW WHAT A 'HICCUP' LOOKS LIKE, DRAW IT AND SEND IT IN TO US. WE'LL PASS IT ON THE ELIZABETH. :>)

Just you wait and see what happens to your hiccups, you precious gems! Have I your permission to post them on Inkless Tales?

I'll e-mail your brilliant teacher.

Dear Mrs M,
What a busy week we have missed at school, your students must be super learners to have done all this work. We are busily trying to catch up. Love the poem Elizabeth wrote for the 1Mgems. Johanna is looking forward to seeing her friends tomorrow.

Laura's poem

Eight Elephants

I ate eight
elephants.
So I had a
tummy ache.
And, it gave me
eight hiccups.

We have missed Johanna this week and we look forward to hearing all her 'holiday' news.

Laura, you clever girl! The pictures your poem creates in my mind... I'm imagining VERY big hiccups! It's also a great choice of number because we are investigating '8' tomorrow!

I loved your poem Laura. I think hiccups look like big bubbles that make a noise when they burst. Laura's Nana June
