THE OFFICIAL LAUNCH

Our SUPERHERO COMIC pages have been added to our LEARNING PODCASTS site.

If you love SUPERHEROES and comics, then this is the site for you.

Our first issue is THE ADVENTURES OF GREENBAG MAN - THE BATTLE WITH PLASTIC.


This 'good versus evil' tale was written, created and produced by Jacob and Patrick, with expert support from some of our Year 6 blogging buddies.

Will the world be overrun by Plastic or will Greenbag Man's environmental message prove too powerful?

So what are you waiting for?

WRITING WIZARDS



We couldn't wait to get back to school
and write about all the exciting things
we did on the holidays.

Mrs M said we have been 'WRITING WIZARDS' this week.


Here are some of the 'MAGIC' things we have been doing.

We have been 're-reading' to make sure that our writing makes sense.We are remembering where we can find words we need .... sometimes they're even on the blog!Some of us are using a 'SPACEMAN'-
to help us remember to put 'spaces' between words. Others of us are putting 'TRAFFIC LIGHTS' on our page to help us start writing in the correct spot and to write from LEFT to RIGHT.

Keep watching for more of our 'MAGIC' writing, coming soon.

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

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. :>)

AND NOW FOR OUR POEMS....


HOORAY! LET'S JUMP AND CHEER
CELEBRATE THE CLEVER POETS WE HAVE HERE!











Poems about the number 'seven' by BILLEE-JANE

Seven is sporty
Seven is sleek
Seven is the number of the week



Seven little mice running through the fields,
Seven kangaroos hopping in the hills,
Seven magical fairies dancing in my yard,
Make a rhyme about number seven,
It's not very hard!


Another poem about 'seven' by ALISTAIR


Seven iceblock sticks,
running to their surfboards.
Come on girls,
get your leg cords.


LAURA has a poem about the number 'six'

Six chirping birds
in the tree
They are as loud
as they can be.



"Rain, Rain - Soccer Train" by BEN

Me and my dad are going to soccer training
I hope it's still on because now it is raining.





A 'sun-smart' poem by PATRICK

Each day at school
we have some fun,
We show we're cool
wearing hats in the sun!

THANKYOU MRS DUFFY FOR HELPING US WITH THIS POST :>)
