Colour Poems
   
Our colour poems were part of our whole school writing festival.
First we brainstormed some ideas and feelings about our favourite colour.  
To get us started we answered some questions about how the colour makes us feel
and what things in our world are that colour.

 

Orange Orange is the colour of juiced oranges Orange is the colour of fire burning Orange is the colour of orange textas Orange is the colour of being happy Orange is the colour of mandarines	Blue Blue is the colour of blue textas Blue is the colour of raindrops falling from the sky Blue is the colour of cold winter nights Blue is the colour of hail falling from the sky Blue is the colour of waves in the sea Blue is the colour of Neptune in the night sky
Purple Purple is the colour of the clothes you wear Purple is the colour of books and things like the pictures Purple is the colour of lots of toys Purple is the colour of scarves and paper Purple is the colour of blankets and pillows	Green Green is the colour of the wind blowing and falling leaves Green is the colour of getting seasick Green is the colour of big green bins Green is the colour of soft leaves and broccoli Green is the colour of stepping on grass that has water on it

SALT  POEMS
   
The taste of salt is really nice
At a really cheap price.

    

I am salt, I swim all day
In a swimming pool I stay.

   

I'm a bit of salt in a shaker
And I get used by the baker.

It was funny when everyone shared their writing!   There was a small snail named Dale Who loved to watch the hail. “He thinks it great and really top rate!” Said little Dale the snail.   There was a small snail from jail
Who loved to sail on his whale!
He said "it is great
And really top rate!"
Said the little snail from jail     Colour in the Kitchen |  2M Home  |   Kids Page  |   Homework Help  |   Guest Book             Worms and Gardeners   This was a whole class writing activity that helped us understand the importance of worms in our environment. 
    How do worms help Gardeners? Worms help gardeners in lots of ways.  First of all they aerate the soil. 
My next reason is they recycle the food scraps, and their castings make it rich soil.
My last is that they help the environment.

Worms help gardeners in many ways.
One way is they make rich soil by decomposing food scrapes.
They help the environment by making good soil.
Worms are good because they recycle lots of things.
Worms are useful because they aerate our soil.

Maths

Fraction Food In mathematics we explored what a half and a quarter looks like. First we made a plate of our favourite food then we cut it in halves or quarters. Then we described how many pieces made up the whole.
