Limerick Poems

This week we learnt how to write limerick poems. Limerick Poems have 5 lines. Line number 1, 2 and 5 all rhyme with each other and have 8 or 9 syllables. Lines 3 and 4 both rhyme with each other and have 5 or 6 syllables.  

This is all 5 of my limerick poems.

Limerick Poems

Number 1

There was a man with a beard

Who was really weird and disappeared

The man was called Stan

and he lived in a can

Then he found a deer and shaved his beard

Number 2

There once was a young person in red

and then he got hit in the head

His wife almost cried

because he nearly died

Then he layed on his comfy bed

Number 3

There was a lady named Claire

and got hit in the head with a chair

She had a friend called Bob

Then pulled off a doorknob

She also likes to care and stare

Number 4

There once was a old man from the west

He lived in a dark gloomy nest

He played with his brother

But didn’t like his mother

And people thought he was the best

Number 5

There was a man with a red nose

His friend gave him a rose

He went away to France

He got a chance to dance

and he ran away with his clothes

My Digi Award Entry 2015 With Michael

Last week Michael and I recorded our Everyday Hero Rap. We recorded our voices on garageband and then we recorded ourselves and put it on i movie. This is our music video.

This is our description of or process we went through.

During term 2 we learnt about heroes. We also learnt about different types of heroes like      personal heroes, community heroes and ourselves as heroes. We also learnt about the difference between Idols and Heroes. Then we planned our category.

We did a rap. First we had to find keywords that have something to do with heroes. Then we found rhyming words for the keywords. Then we learnt our words off by heart. Then we did our storyboarding and when we did our storyboarding we did our rap on garageband. Once we did our rap we filmed our rap on imovie.

The Digi Awards process helped me learn how to write a rap.

New Zealand Flag Debate Writing

Last Term our class room 5&6 (West Wing) learnt about the New Zealand Flag Debate. We learnt about how John Key wanted to change the New Zealand Flag and how it will cost $26,000,000!!! This is what I wrote about the New Zealand Flag Debate.

New Zealand Flag Debate

In New Zealand right now there is a enormous New Zealand flag debate. John Key would like to change the New Zealand flag. Plenty  people in New Zealand would not like it to change. I think it is not a good idea to change the flag. Everyone in my house thinks it is a stupid idea to change the flag, including myself. A reason why the New Zealand flag should be changed is because it is too similar to the Australian flag because we both have the Union Jack and stars. The only thing that is different is the amount of stars and the colors of the stars. Another reason why we should change the flag is because there is hardly any Maori culture included in our current flag.I think the flag shouldn’t change because it will cost too much money. People are saying it will cost $26,000,000. I think we shouldn’t change the flag because with that money we could fix things from after the earthquakes for example buildings, roads and houses. You could also save endangered animals like Kiwis, Rhinos, and Keas. Another reason why we shouldn’t change the flag is because the stars represent the people that died in WW1 and WW2. Overall 48% of people think we should change the New Zealand flag. But 52% of people think we shouldn’t change the flag. I think we shouldn’t change the flag because it will cost $26,000,000 and you could use that money for more important things.                                                                       John Key

                                                                                                                 

                                                               

Book Character Day

Today we had Book Character Day and everyone dressed up in a costume. I dressed up in my Warriors top and Warriors shorts. My teachers Mrs McGuinnity and Miss Mcleod dressed up as Minions. This is a photo of our entire class in their costumes.

How To Keep Safe On The Internet

On Tuesday Mr Maddren came into our class and he told us about how to be safe on the internet. He showed us a video about a girl that went up to a man at a but stop and told him her name, her email address, phone number, where her family was going and a photo of her friend and herself. Then we had to sort out what was safe to put on the internet and what was not. This is what I did.

My Hero Rap For Digi Awards

In the past few weeks Room 5&6 ( East Wing ) have been doing some work for entries for the Digi Awards. Michael and myself have created a Rap about Everyday Heroes. This is the Rap we have created.

Michael

Everyday heroes like to share.

They would not like to compare but they will like to care.

My everyday heroes are my Mum and Dad.

But sometimes they can be a lad.

They will always protect you from the bad.

Everyday heroes give you food.

They might even say, Do you want some food dude?

They provide you with water.

They might even give you a Quarter.

Everyday heroes take care of you.

They will do whatever you want to do.

Mr Breach is a inspiration to the choir.

He teaches them so there voices are higher.

Everyday heroes are responsible.

They could even be a constable.

Chorus

I got 99 problems but a hero aint one.

Because my hero would protect me from a gun.

You could be an everyday hero if you’re good

Just be a hero, yes you should

Be a hero if you can

it doesn't matter if you're a woman or a man.

I know for sure they will keep you safe

Yell out to them if you’re unsafe.

No matter who you could be a hero

even if you’re the age zero

Rykin

An everyday hero they will share,

they will come near if you like to care

Everyday heroes inspire us to aim high

and encourage you not to become a bad guy

Heroes have zero parts of a made up superhero

They will make you feel warm inside when it’s absolute zero
Everyday heroes they make you not be a fool

because they say you should go to school

They will help, they will be there because they care and you will beware of how their there and how they care

If a hero is shoving they are not loving

If they're shoving instead they should be hugging

Chorus

I got 99 problems but a hero aint one.

Because my hero would protect me from a gun.

`you could be an everyday hero if you’re good

Just be a hero, yes you should

Be a hero if you can

it doesn't matter if you're a woman or a man.

I know for sure they will keep you safe

Yell out to them if you’re unsafe.

No matter what you could be a hero

even if you’re the age zero

Both of us Vs 3

Everyday heroes might give you toys.

They might even be one of the boys that make noise.

They might take you to the beach and tell you how to teach while your eating a peach.

They might be someone you admire.

They could even  save you from a fire .

An Everyday hero will be caring while you’re staring

at someone wearing a very caring earing.

Everyday heroes they might have a pay day

they could also let you play with grey clay.

They could be your friends and they could give you pen’s

They might protect you and respect you, it doesn't matter because they might be very good and might live in the hood.
