NUMBER 5 PICS FOR ELIZABETH


This post is brought to you by the number '5'!

16 days ago, Elizabeth, from INKLESS TALES, left a poem for us on our post 'ALL ABOUT 5'. It was a poem about the number '5' and we were the first to read it!


The poem did not have a title and Elizabeth asked for our suggestions. Here are suggested titles we left as comments:
* FAVOURITE FIVE from Lauren
* FABULOUS FIVE from Ben
* SUPER FIVE from Talia
* FIVE PEOPLE HAVING A PICNIC from Callum
* MY FAVOURITE NUMBER IS '5' from Patrick
* PERFECT FIVE from Johanna
* 6 IS NOT MY FAVOURITE NUMBER from Jarvis' Dad
WE WONDER IF ELIZABETH WILL USE ANY OF OUR SUGGESTIONS?

We have also been busy drawing pictures about '5'.

Here are some that have been completed.

'FIVE toes in sneakered feet' by Emily
'FIVE days at school' by Matthew'FIVE windows in my house" by Courtney
'FIVE cats chasing a mouse' by Tierney

'FIVE members in my family' by Jacob (above) and Patrick (below)

'FIVE people from around the world' by Lauren
'FIVE bees' by Max
'FIVE birds in the tree' by Bryce
'FIVE playing basketball' by Laura
'FIVE friends' by Johanna
'FIVE bees in the hive' by Tierney
'FIVE people all different make many colours in the world' by Naomi
KEEP WATCHING AS THERE'S MORE '5' PICTURES TO COME.
WE HOPE YOU CAN USE SOME OF OUR PICTURES, ELIZABETH! :D

WORDS FROM THE AUTHOR:
I got the idea to write a poem from Elizabeth at INKLESS TALES and we had been learning about 5 and I like fire engines.
My poem needs a title. Do you have an idea?

OUR NOISY NEIGHBOURS!

All this week, we have had some VERY noisy neighbours!
NO! It's not 1G next door- it's 2 (YES,ONLY 2) rainbow lorikeets who are living in the Bottlebrush tree outside our classroom.
Click on the picture to learn more about this bird.


They do nothing but SCREECH and SQUAWK ALL day!

WE are AMAZED that 2 birds can make SO much noise!


CLICK HERE to listen !


They are eating the nectar from the Bottlebrush flowers. They are VERY GREEDY and it often sounds like they are FIGHTING over a flower!
WE don't know why, because there's LOTS of flowers!

Even though they are NOISY, we'll miss them when they go!

Do you have Rainbow Lorikeets visit your backyard?
Do they chat and make noise all day like ours?
What type of tree are they feeding from?

1M, I have seen flocks of over a thousand lorikeets coming together at dusk to feed in the trees outside Carina Leagues Club. The noise was DEAFENING!
Have you seen big flocks like this? Where?
Maybe you've been to Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR ENCOUNTERS WITH THESE BIRDS BY LEAVING A COMMENT.

ALL ABOUT 5

What do we have '5' of? We went on a search.

5 fingers



5 very pink toes



5 oranges eaten by the very hungry caterpillar




5 dots on a dice







our school bag has 5 compartments



and every flower on this bush has 5 petals



Where else do you see '5'? Hear '5'? Here are some clues to get you going.
How many points on a star? Who's someone in 1M with 5 syllables in their name?
Post a comment with your discoveries about 5.
