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. :>)

OUR 'JIGAREE' STORIES

We have been reading 'The Jigaree' in class. There are seven words from our Word Wall that are in the Jigaree story - I, can, see, a, it, is and me. We enjoyed 'The Jigaree' so much that we thought we could 'innovate' on this story. That means we could use the pattern of the words in this story to help us write our own stories.


Here is Johanna's story:
I can see the rain
It is pouring on me.
Pouring here,
Pouring there,
Rain is pouring everywhere.
Here is Bryce's story:
I can see a yellow bin
It is filled with rubbish..
Rubbish here
Rubbish there
Bins filled with rubbish everywhere.
Here is Laura's story:

I can see the pink flower
It is wet in the rain
Wet here
Wet there
Flowers are wet everywhere.
I can see the rain
It is pouring on me.
Pouring here,
Pouring there,
Rain is pouring everywhere.
Here is Bryce's story:

I can see a yellow bin
It is filled with rubbish..
Rubbish here
Rubbish there
Bins filled with rubbish everywhere.
Here is Laura's story:

I can see the pink flower
It is wet in the rain
Wet here
Wet there
Flowers are wet everywhere.
Here is Brooke's story:

I can see a plant
It is moving in the rain
Moving here
Moving there
Plants are moving everywhere.

I can see a plant
It is moving in the rain
Moving here
Moving there
Plants are moving everywhere.
Here is Ben's story:
I can see the raindrops
Dripping from the sail
Raindrops here
Raindrops there
Raindrops dripping everywhere.
