Writing:

One day there was a Monarch butterfly. She was a traveller. One day she was flying and decided to land on a poisonous milkweed flower with her beautiful wings. When she landed she laid an egg. This egg then hatched into a caterpillar. The caterpillar is now a larvae. It was now an insect. For one week he ate crunchy leaves and an orange. One week after the caterpillar hatched it turned into a cocoon which is also called a chrysalis. The patterns of his wings developed while he was in the cocoon. While it was in its cocoon he was blending in with the enviroment around him and no predators saw him. When the cocoon hatched it was tim for the Monarch butterflies to migrate and he had his first flight.

Poem

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown

And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

`My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings:

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!'

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

By Percy Bysshe Shelley

This poem is talking about how some great things will always have to end sometime.

Monarch Butterfly Cloze exercise

The Monarch butterfly is a very interesting creature. Its colours are amazing with black and orange and its ability to eat milkweed is unbelievable. These are just some of the many things of the Monarch butterfly.

When it migrates it can cover 128 km and it can reach up to speeds of 18 km an hour. These insects migrate to warmer places over the winter because it is more comfortable.

When flying it travels 5 - 6 metres above the Earth’s ground. This is about the height of 2 and a half Mr Mcs. Although it can’t go above the ground when it is a caterpillar, it truly is a magnificent sight.

Once there was a panda. This panda was in a picture and next to the panda was a person. People kept on walking past this picture and starting to punch the person next to the panda.

Poem

if there are any heavens my mother will(all by herself)have
one. It will not be a pansy heaven nor

You could use a oven, blow drier or maybe even a fire. If it works it will probably turn brown. Adults need to do the heating!

I predict that none of them will work.

Once there was a rare sort of rain. It only rained this rain when someone's reputation was good. To get their reputation good they had to respect other people. One time when it rained they had to use a raft to float because it rained so much. The person with the good reputation reigned over the city for that whole day but there were rules. You could not tell people to do anything.

Robert Frost

As I went out a Crow
In a low voice said,
"Oh,I was looking for you.
How do you do?
I just came to tell you
To tell Lesley (will you?)
That her little Bluebird
Wanted me to bring word
That the north wind last night
That made the stars bright
And made ice on the trough
Almost made him cough
His tail feathers off.
He just had to fly!
But he sent her Good-by,
And said to be good,
And wear her red hood,
And look for the skunk tracks
In the snow with an ax-
And do everything!
And perhaps in the spring
He would come back and sing."

The poem is about a crow asking someone to tell Lesley that a bluebird, who I think was her friend, has flown south for the winter. Then he tells her to be safe while he is gone and that he will come back when it is spring and it is warm.

To see each other without fear or agony
All this makes me proud to be an Australian
With as many good thoughts as the colours as a chameleon

A Leaf-Treader

I have been treading on leaves all day until I am autumn-tired.

God knows all the color and form of leaves I have trodden on and mired.

Perhaps I have put forth too much strength and been too fierce from fear.

I have safely trodden underfoot the dead leaves of another year.

I think that he has been walking all over leaves. In the second line I think that he means that he has walked all over so many different coloured leaves. In the third line I think he means that he has walked on them to hard and that they have all been breaking up and losing all their colour.

The Mustang

I am a cowboy. One day I was walking along a dark and dusty road when I heard a loud but friendly neigh. I decided to follow this noise to see where it was coming from. I followed the dusty track until I found a Mustang in a pen. I walked up to the dark brown coloured horse and started to pat it. Its neigh now was very loud. The Mustang rearing up and then the strong dark hooves hit the fence.

The fence made a loud crashing noise and the Mustang ran into the distance along the dark and dusty road. A few minutes later I heard a creaky noise. I turned towards the noise, a man with a long black beard. He had a shirt that was the colour of the sky on a hot day with no clouds. The man came closer and then he asked me, “Did you let my horse out?" I turned to the man and nodded.

He asked me that because I let the horse out, could I go and get it. I said that I would. I walked back down that dusty black road until I came to a fork in the dusty road. I listened as hard as I could until I heard a sudden neigh to one of the paths. I ran for that path until I came to a city. I walked slowly towards a man sitting in a large olive coloured chair. I asked the man if he had seen a Mustang run through here. He said that it had headed towards the beautiful orange sunset.

I headed this way until I saw the horse trotting around a pen. It looked like the same dark brown coloured horse as before. I ran at the horse and then it started to run away in the opposite direction. The mustang came to a fence. The mustang stopped so I grabbed him. I walked back along that same dusty road and found the house. I gave the man back his Mustang and walked back towards the sunset.

A Leaf Treader

I have been treading on leaves all day until I am autumn tired

Lord knows all the color and form of leaves I have trodden on and mired

Perhaps I have put forth too much strength or been too fierce from fear...

I have safely trodden underfoot the leaves of another year

All summer long they were overhead more lifted up than I

To come to their final place in earth they had to pass me by

All summer long I thought I heard them whispering under their breath

And when they came it seemed with a will to carry me with them to death

They spoke to the fugitive in my heart as if it were leaf to leaf

They tapped at my eyelids and touched my lips with an invitation to grief

But it was no reason I had to go because they had to go...

Now UP MY KNEE to keep atop another year of snow.

Materials:

A Plate

Flour

Four different sized rocks


What to do:

1. First put some flour in a plate.


2. Then get your rocks and put them in a row from smallest to largest.


3. Get the largest rock and drop it into the flour from about 1 metre.


4. When you have dropped it in pick it up carefully out of the flour and look at the hole.


5. If you would like draw a diagram of your craters.


6. Once you used the flour with all four rocks try it with sand.

My Prediction:

I predict that when you drop the rocks into the flour it will make a deeper hole because the flour is softer so it will have more effect than the sand because the sand is a lot harder and thicker.

I saw spring with my heart today:

A small girl, skipping, came my way.

Her Daddy's smile was on her face,

Her petticoat dripped fresh-torn lace.

Fresh daffodils! "For you," she said.

The Light Kingdom

Once there was a boy. This boy did not have a name. He was a tall dark boy who liked exploring in the wonderful world around him. One day his mother said that they were going to go on a tour through Africa to explore. So the boy went upstairs and packed all his dark black shirts and all of his denim jeans and then came back downstairs. The boy carried all of his big and extremely heavy bags to the car and then they drove all the way to the airport.

They flew for about one day and a half and then they got off the ‘plane and called a taxi and then they drove all the way to the hotel that they were staying at. Then they decided to sleep for a bit. The next day they started their tour of Africa. They had started their tour outside the hotel. They started for the jungle. They had seen lots of animals like the king of the jungle - the lion. Then they asked their driver if they could stop to go to the toilet.

The driver said that they could only stop for about three minutes. So they all got out and then they went to the toilet. The boy heard the driver say that they needed to go but he was not ready and then he heard the car drive off into the dark and mysterious distance. The boy tried to run after the car and then the boy stopped. There was a fork in the road. The boy decided that he would go to the left and look for the car. So he started to run towards the left passage when he saw that there was a hole on the ground with some stairs.

He decided to go down the stairs and see what was down there. He ran down and saw that there was a whole castle down there. He ran towards the big and bright castle to see where he was. He ran as fast as he could and noticed that there were two guards standing next to the door. He asked one of the guards what was the place that he had found was. They said that it was the kingdom of light. The guards said that he could go inside if he liked.

He ran inside and then he heard voices that sounded familiar. He ran down and saw that it was his mum and dad. They said that they were caught when they had gone near there and they were thrown into the jail. The boy tried to pick the lock and free them but a guard that was passing saw him and threw him in jail. He had still got his pin that he was picking the lock with first and then he opened his cell door and then he heard the guard again. He closed the door on his cell and then waited for the guard to get out of sight.

The boy opened his parents’ cell and then was about to run out when he heard even more voices. He turned around and found that all of the other people who where in the jail were people who had been on the tours before. He opened all of their cells and then ran for the stairs back to Africa when he heard a yell behind him. He turned around and noticed that there were guards chasing them. He ran for the stairs and when he got there he saw a button.

When every one was through he pushed the button and then ran up and the hole in the ground started closing. He ran up and then he fell to the ground and noticed that there was a hand on his leg. The hole was nearly closed. He hit the hand off with his leg and then climbed out just in time. His mother said, “Let’s never go on holiday again and now you have a name. I will call you Brave."

THRASS

THRASS is a program to help people spell words. There are also some cards that we use for a game. To play we pick a card and then we say the sound and name of that thing. For example if the card was ant we would say “a” is for ant. There are two charts that say the word and have a picture of that word. It also has the sound in bold. I have been doing THRASS for about 2 years now.

We have the THRASS boards up on the white board in our classroom and we play the game and chant the words some afternoons. Sometimes we play another game where we get one person to stand up and face away from the charts and they have to say all of the words on one chart without saying one wrong or missing one.

THRASS stands for Teaching Handwriting Reading And Spelling Skills.

Fireflies in the Garden

Here come real stars to fill the upper skies,

And here on earth come emulating flies,

That though they never equal stars in size,

(And they were never really stars at heart)

Achieve at times a very star-like start.

Only, of course, they can't sustain the part.

I think that in the first 2 lines he is saying that the real stars are coming, and that the fireflies that are on Earth look like them. Then I think that he is saying that the fireflies are not the same size as the stars but look the same.

Fireflies
Fireflies are a bug that has a tail that lights up.

The size of a firefly is about the same size of a paper clip. In the world there are about 2,000 species of fireflies. Many species can be found in places where it is damp and wet. The firefly is an omnivore which means that it eats meat and plants. In the wild the life time for a firefly is about 2 months. The firefly uses its tail for light and also as a defensive mechanism. A few days after mating the female firefly will lay the eggs on top or below the ground. The larvae are commonly known as glow-worms. Male fireflies are the only fireflies that associate in Synchronous flashing.

The Fireflies light will have almost no heat. In some of the world they call it the lightning bug.

1. Fill a plastic cup until it is 3 quarters full.
2. Measure half a teaspoon of Sodium Bicarbonate.
3. Add the Sodium Bicarbonate to the water and then stir it until it dissolves.
4. Add 4 popcorn kernels into the cup.
5. Add 1 tablespoon of vinegar to the cup.
6. Watch closely for about 2 minutes.


What happens?

The popcorn kernels will sit in the water for a bit and then the bubbles will attach to the kernels and will start floating to the top of the cup and then the bubbles will pop and then the kernels will fall back down to the bottom of the cup. This will happen over and over again.

Rocket Tea Bag

Materials:

1 Tea bag
Matches
Adult Supervision

What To Do:

1. Remove string and tag from tea bag.
2. Remove the staples and clean out the tea leaves.
3. Make the teabag material into a tube shape by putting your finger in it.
4. Stand the tube up vertically.
5. Ignite the rocket by lighting the top end of the tea bag tube.
6. Stand back!

My Prediction:

I think when the teabag is lit the fire will burn down and when it gets near the bottom it will rise up into the air.

I think that it will rise up because hot air rises and hot air will make it rise.

We had three tries at this and two of them succeeded. The first one fell over and burnt the newspaper and then the other two we stood up on Slinky’s book!

Under The Sea

Once there was a small joyous boy that loved swimming. One morning at 10:00am his family decided to go to the beach because they had just won the lottery. The boy was so exited. It was about a boring five hour's there but when it was over they loved the beautiful sandy beach.

The small child saw lots of fantastical and colourful signs saying: Fish Bait, Buy food here. Then on the hot sandy beach was a half buried bottle filled with some strange liquid. He ran up and started digging it out. Then he pulled it out and ran back to his tall family. They all took a bit of it and then decided to go for a swim.

Then he went under water and held his breath as long as he could and then came back up. Then a big sparkling boat coming towards him so he ducked under again but he couldn’t hold it enough so he let go and found out that the liquidly thing they drank must have let them breathe underwater. He swam all the way up and told his family that he could breathe underwater and asked if they would try breathing in the glistening blue crystal water.

They tried and then they could. They decided to swim all day. They saw a dolphin, a clownfish and a shark. Then when they came back up they found out that they could not breathe out of water for very long. So their mum told them that they would be staying in the glistening blue there for ever.

They were swimming for five hours when they found a big sparkling city. They swam in and saw mermaids. They decided to live there the boy heard a voice saying, "Wake up,Wake up." Then the boy woke up and found out that it all was a dream.

Coat of arms

For my medieval studies I did a Coat of Arms.

The activity I did was for the class to draw their own coat of arms. We divided the coat of arms into four corners and then in the first left hand corner in the top we drew a animal. In the corner next to that we drew a coloured pattern. In the corner below the animal we drew a flower and then coloured it. Then in the last corner we drew a illuminated script of the letter of your first name.

- And you did an excellent job with this! I am so pleased with all your hard work. Well done! From Ms S.

No-Name Cow: Sneaking out

No-Name Cow says:

I'm going to sneak out tonight

The moral of this story is that you should not run away because it is dangerous and you might not be able to get back home.

No-name cow: Stealing is bad

No-Name cow says: Where will I steal food from tonight?

The Moral of this story is that if you really don’t like your food don’t go and steal something else.

This website is very good. It has activities, pictures and it has lots of infomation on castles in Wales. It is very cool and it also has its own animated picures, like a torch that flares.


I think we should definitely use this activity.

I THINK that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.

A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the sweet earth's flowing breast;

A tree that looks at God all day,
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

A tree that may in summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;

Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.

Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree

By Joyce Kilmer.

Soak Some Potatoes

Slice a small potato lengthwise into several pieces that each have two flat sides. Place some of the pieces in one dish and the rest in another. Fill both dishes with water. Add two tablespoons of salt to one of the dishes, and label it "salt water." Let the potatoes soak for 15 minutes.Compare the potatoes. Is there a difference in firmness? Why?






I think that the salt water potato will go softer.





The salt water became softer and the normal water stayed the same.

Video Mr. B

Chapter 1: Liking Myself

I think that all of the pictures were too fast moving for kindergarten. The graphics in this show were pretty babyish and the pictures were all 2D and did not move.

Some of the vocabulary was nearly 6th grade level. In this video it mentioned smoking, drugs and firecrackers. The talking in this video mentioned too much information too fast. I think that some people will be a bit bored because it talks all the time.

It says that the video was made in 1992 which I think was a bit old-fashioned and I think that that is kind of bad. It is made in Victoria and has a Australian website but the voice over is an American accent. I think that if we kept it, it would be for 3-4 grade level but I don’t think it is very good.

No-Name Cow

The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence.

Tail-Tag Rescue

In Tail-Tag Rescue you need to have about twenty people. You need something to use as a tail. You need to have them in two teams a sparkling red team and a shining blue team. You put the tales so they are hanging out of your pants. You need to have a couple of red cones and a couple of blue cones at each end. You need two yellow cones and a lot of green cones to mark out a rectangle. In the middle of each side of green cones you can put the yellow cones on top or instead of the middle cones. Then you can start playing.

If you are on the sparkling red coloured team you start at the end with the red cones and if you are blue you start at the blue end of cones. Someone says go and then you try and grab the other teams tales. If you get the blue teams tale you take it and hold it in your hand while them down to the red cones. The blue team that have been caught have to wait untill someone from there team to get to the red end.


When they get to the end they need to take the captured person from the end to where the yellow cone in the middle. They can run back in from there and start playing again. To win you need to get all the people in the jail or when it ends the team with the least people in jail!

Design and draw, with two paragraphs of writing, a machine that would help keep a kite up in the air.

This is my idea for a kite keeper up machine. You need to have a fan for it to work. You get your fan and a stand for it. you need to wait for a windy day but not too windy that it will stay up. You need to have a bit of heat to strech the metal big enough to cover where you are flying. You need to have a portable power socket for it to work or a very long extension cord.



The fan is for when the wind dies down you can turn it on and the wind from the fan blowing up will blow the kite up and when the wind picks up again you can turn it off and your kite will stay up as long as you like.

The Day I Went To Outer Space

Once upon a time there was an adult called Bart. He wanted to be astronaut. He was in a bar one night when some people from NASA came in and said that if he wanted to be a astronaut then he had to come with them now. He walked all the way to the NASA building and started his training to become an astronaut. He had finished all his training when they said that he was about to go into outer space. He walked to the rocket with his spacesuit on. He walked into the rocket and then sat down. “3, 2, 1… Blastoff!” they said. They blasted off. They had reached pretty far out of the orbit when the people at NASA said that they forgot to refill our air supplies.

We checked our air supplies on our back. It said 50% was left. I floated to the steering wheel and tried to move the ship back. It was stuck. I told the people at NASA that the steering wheel was stuck. They said that there was some oil in the back of the rocket. I floated back there and got the oil and a funnel. I held the funnel as hard as I could to the steering wheel and poured as much as the oil as I could to the steering wheel. I tried again to move the steering wheel. It took about 5 seconds and then it started to budge.

I turned it around and I landed the space ship safely back on earth.

Acquainted With The Night

I have been one acquainted with the night.
I have walked out in rain—and back in rain.
I have outwalked the furthest city light.
I have looked down the saddest city lane.
I have passed by the watchman on his beat
And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain.
I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet
When far away an interrupted cry
Came over houses from another street,
But not to call me back or say good-by;
And further still at an unearthly height
One luminary clock against the sky
Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right.
I have been one acquainted with the night.

Design

I found a dimpled spider, fat and white,
On a white heal-all, holding up a moth
Like a white piece of rigid satin cloth—
Assorted characters of death and blight
Mixed ready to begin the morning right,
Like the ingredients of a witches' broth—
A snow-drop spider, a flower like a froth,
And dead wings carried like a paper kite.

What had that flower to do with being white,
The wayside blue and innocent heal-all?
What brought the kindred spider to that height,
Then steered the white moth thither in the night?
What but design of darkness to appall?—
If design govern in a thing so small.

Halloween bad hair day

One day it was Halloween eve. It was time for me to go to bed. When I awoke the next day my hair was all frizzled. It was the biggest bad hair day in the world. I ran to my mum and she said to just comb it over. I ran to the bath room and combed it over. I got dressed for school. When I got to school I told my friends about my bad hair day and they said that they had a bad hair day too. I was waiting for the bell to ring for school to finish so I could go home and have something to eat. The bell rang and I caught the bus back to my house and got a fruit bar and sat down on the couch. I decided that I was pretty tired from school and would have a sleep.

I fell asleep in about a whopping five minutes. When I woke up that night my hair was all frizzled again. I ran to my mum and she said that I should comb it again. So I did and then went back to sleep. The next day was a Friday and I wanted my friends to come and sleep over again. They all could come. When the bell rang they all came and caught the bus with me to my house. That night they said that they had another bad hair day. I went to sleep for about five minutes again when I heard a sound. I got up and looked out the window and saw a person standing there.

I yelled and ran to my bed and woke up my friends. I showed them where I saw the person and he was still there but this time he was moving towards the door. He opened the door and he walked towards me. When he got really close to me he put his hand to his face and pulled of a mask. It turned out that all my friends’ brothers were messing up the hair and that the person with the mask was my brother.

My Trip in a hotair balloon

In my hot air balloon I can see cars and people. The cars and people look like ants. I can see other balloons because it is a day when people can go up in a balloon for free. The other people in my hot air balloon are me, my mum and dad, my sisters and my brothers.

My hot air balloon is coloured black with colored stripes. You can hear lots of thing like birds chirping, my mum and dad talking and when the person driving pulls the flame and the heat goes up. It is really cool.

The person driving told me that you need to have a licence before you can drive a hot air balloon. The person driving also told me that the hot air balloon was invented in France 1783.

my new car

It was a freezing icy day and my mum was taking me to buy a new car. I got to the dealer. The cars were so cool. There was this black one that really stood out. Its gear stick was a shining blue colour. It had a for sale sign in the back. $20,000 the sign said. My mum said that the car was a bit expensive but she would buy it for me. So I took it for a test drive through the packed streets. It was really good so I bought it. I took it home and then drove to the shops. I bought all the food and drinks we needed and was taking them back to the car when a man took the car. I had accidentally left the keys in the car.

I chased him but I wasn’t fast enough. Some of the people in the cars in front of me saw him taking the car and helped me stop him. They tried to box him in but he stopped and drove out off the cars boxing him in and onto the streets. Some police cars nearby saw the car driving away and they chased him down. The guy who stole my car was arrested and was put in jail.

Duck Washing Machine

How it works: My duck washing machine is mostly for farmers. It has a hand that picks up the duck and puts it in the washing machine. For the washing machine to work you need to put soap suds in the machine. It has a conveyor belt that moves the duck along to the fans two metres away. The fans are run by a hamster running on a hamster wheel. When they are at the end of the fans the ducks hair is probally going to be all fluffed up so there is a hand with a comb that will brush all there fur down.
