Nonsense poem

BREAKING NEWS
Here is the news

Three old boring cardboard boxes
They all do not look anything like foxes.

They can all get soaking wet
Under these soaking nets.

Boxes can be shaped as cardboard foxes
But oxes will not be shaped as boxes.

Boxes old, boring boxes
They sneeze in the breeze.

In the breeze they fly
in the in the sky.

Boxes will not fight oxes
Because they do not move at all.

That was the news!

My writing reflection
Today I found out that nonsense poems are not as easy as it looks because when I first started I found out that making rhymes were not so easy.
I have been learning to write a nonsense poem because our teacher showed my class a poem that was about nonsense.
My next step is to work on the rhymes because I struggled with them.

Summarising Texts



Reflection

We have been learning to summarise by finding the main ideas.

The diagram above shows how we identified the main ideas.

Something I enjoyed was labelling the picture by showing clues for the  main ideas.

Next I would like to summarise more information.

Lizards



We have been learning about lizards and skinks. The thing that gave us the idea was that we are the class that will look after the lizard garden and the lizards. Something  I found tricky was tidying the lizard garden after other students that played in there. Next I will improve the lizard's habitat.

Reflection:
We have been learning about lizards and skinks.
I was able to upload the pictures
I found this hard to write facts about lizards in my own words.
My next step is to make better facts

Mystery Letter

Dear Mum and Dad,                                                          


There are beautiful colours all around me.  
I can sniff up some fresh air flowing through my nose and some flowery perfume and deodorant.
I can always hear people talking where I am.  There is a very yummy, milky taste in my mouth.
It is so good it is nearly my favourite thing to drink. I like that I  will always feel the smooth
carpet under my bottom. The place I am in has a lot of books I can see and read,
like chapter books, picture books and even magazines!  
There is a gigantic Elm tree outside the area I am in.  I can see a goal post in my sight. It is as tall
as the classroom. I can also see a medium sized butterfly garden.
                                                 
WHERE AM I?


From,
Kobe

Reflection:
We have been learning to describe a setting by using our senses.

I enjoyed describing the setting.

Something I found tricky was proofreading to myself.

Next time I will work on using a capital letter for the word, I.
