BRYCE'S PET

Now that you know the CLUE to telling the difference between a STICK INSECT and a PRAYING MANTIS is to look at the 'front legs', have a look at BRYCE'S PET.

It lives in a tree in his yard.

Can you see it?

It's really well camouflauged!

Look closely at it's 'FRONT LEGS'.

GO TO Brisbane Insects.com.

Look again at the pictures of STICK INSECTS and PRAYING MANTIDS.

WHAT IS IT?

LEAVE US A COMMENT.

DON'T FORGET TO GIVE US A REASON FOR YOUR ANSWER.

LOOK WHAT HOPPED IN!

Last night a

grasshopper

hopped in while we were having dinner.

It flew onto the windowsill... it flew onto my sister's hat. I was screaming because it was SOOO close to my face!
Then it hopped up high onto the wall, right up in the corner
and it stayed there until the morning.

We took pictures, loaded them onto the computer and then saved them to my sister's USB and I brought it to school. Now they are ON THE BLOG!

(I forgot I could have EMAILED them to 1mgems@gmail.com)

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

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. :>)

Seven Soccer Players

Seven soccer players
Kicking seven goals
Seven goals they scored
Then they kicked one more
And then they had eight

BRYCE'S '5' POEM

YOU'VE ALL BEEN PATIENT.... THE WAIT IS OVER!
HERE IT IS, THE FIRST PUBLIC VIEWING OF BRYCE'S FIRST EVER POEM!

FIVE FIREMEN IN THE FIRETRUCK

RACING TO THE FIRE

IN FIVE SECONDS FLAT!

PUTTING OUT THE FIRE WITH FIVE FIRE HOSES

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 '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.

Here is Brooke's story:

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.
