Get NZ Writing

We are a part of Get NZ Writing in association with Warehouse Stationery and the amazing School Kit.  We have been doing some cool things to share with our buddy school Waipukurau School...including these awesome name poems...

The Charlotte Poem

Charlotte is a very tiny box

guarded by a ferocious kitten!

Charlotte runs around us

as the fastest big cat a cheetah.

   Charlotte is the book and writing girl.

Whenever I peep into the mirror

I see a nervous cat face

but the cat face is still Charlotte.

Charlotte is a slow Mazda Familia

because Charlotte takes longer to start up when she stops

Charlotte is a dark moon

hidden at day time

Look there and there

Bits of fluff

blown from library to library

Chasing with a hungry kitten

They might be Charlotte.

The Erik poem

Erik is a small bouncy package,

with hoodies and caps all over it.

Erik is a tweety bird,

that never runs out of fuel.

Erik is a ‘dab’ and music boy ,

listening and enjoying guitars and drums.

Whenever I peek in the mirrors

Erik gleams a smile

that's full of Energy.

Erik the music making car.

‘Erik Is a rocket in the sky.

Erik is four letters

as in Eric Clapton.

Look here and there

Bit of notes

Float to fan to fan

Guitar strings go through my fingers.

They might be Erik.

By

Ivan poem

Iva is a secret bomber

with origami everywhere

Ivan is an adventurer

Ivan is a master at parkour

Whenever I look in the mirror

I see Indiana Jones

in a cave

Blow house to house

I groan as i pick up bits and pieces

They might be Ivan

The Samira poem

Samira is a small box,

wrapped in writing and the colour blue.

Samira is a honda jazz,

small but not fast.

Samira is an ostrich,

it can not fly but is still graceful.

Samira esfahani is a surfboard

riding the waves.

Whenever I peep into mirrors

I see a gold swimming cup

with my name on it.

Look there and there

bits of water

burst from pool from pool

I get soaked from the water

but it might be Samira.

The Mia Poem

Mia is a short package covered

In bows with vibrant wrapping paper covered in glitter.

Careful of hazards Mia trots along the
Ground looking for places to explore.

performs carefully and cheerfully.

Whenever I peep in mirrors

Mia smiles back at me

it’s so cool!

Mia is a speedy motorbike,
Mia is a shining star.

discovered in the Hebrew language.

Look over there

colourful confetti

spreading all over

I stare at it while it flies through my hair

It might be Mia.

The Hana Poem

Hana is a noodle box

filled with one long noodle!

and words that I can’t even read!

Hana is a penguin

who loves and never wants to come out.

Hana is the princess of art

her loveable art hypnotises people.

Whenever I peep in mirrors

Hana pulls a weird face

It’s awkward.

Hana is a motorbike, it runs fast as me.

Hana is a swirling, shiny galaxy.

Hana is 11 letters,

noticed in the Indonesian language.

Look there and there!

Shapes of crystals

shining cave to cave,

I gaze at them as if I see a millions

They might be Hana.

Our Assembly

The Room 2 year 6's hosted the assembly on Tuesday.  Year 5's will host the next one.  Some of the children in Room 2 played ukelele which they learnt to play with Miss Davies (thank you, we miss you).  She even conducted and played with the group on Tuesday.  Here is a wee video of the song that was played.

Well done to PipEri and KnoMat for creating the amazing slideshow, to SheAin, HudCha, PalDis, PatPri, NavHas, BroSav, VoyKei, and GreMia for doing the skit to start us off, and to Hud Cha, PatPri, BroSav, and GreMia who hosted the rest of the assembly.  Mr Yardley said you were all awesome.

Ms A is super proud of you all.

Sir Cumference and the Off-the-Charts Dessert

We read 'Sir Cumference and the Off-the-Charts Dessert' and learnt about many different graphs, these included: bar graphs, pie graphs, pictographs and dot plots.  We decided to make some graphs using maths equipment.  Here they are...

Picture poems

We used tagul.com to create these amazing word poems about ourselves 

and uploaded our photo to fill

Poetry - noun, verb, adverb and adjective

We learnt about poetry by looking at this poem

This was by anonymous

We found a pattern in the poem: adjective, noun, verb

We learnt about powerful adjectives, strong verbs, precise nouns 

...and adverbs

Then we wrote our own. 

What do you think of our writing?

Cheeky smile grows rapidly

Buck teeth grin pleased

Warm eyes widen delighted

Bald head turns calm

Friend beams with love…

Waving doors shake loudly

Black cat creeps smoothly

Whistling monsters growls angrily

Screaming girls yell air breaking

Green grass shivers roughly

Dark clouds cry sadly

Tall tree’s shake crazily

Gentle leaves dance majestically

As brown fall visits.

By

Stormy Forest Poem
Wild leaves blow rapidly
Shivering trees shake crazily
Strong wind howls wildly
Blue sky darkens slowly
Insects scatter home frightened
Dark clouds hover above
Drops begin falling quickly
Loud thunder growls madly
Next lightning flashes brightly

By

Monarch butterflies fly vigorously

Garden have many flowers

More butterflies fly over

Beautiful smelling flowers

Bees came to defend

Some butterflies leave slowly

Butterflies hide in bushes

Bye butterflies, good evening
