Today for Poetry this week our learning intentions are “Find clues in a poem that tell us what someone is thinking”. First we needed to show what the rhyme scheme is by putting a letter at the end of each line.  Also to highlight words that the author has used to rhyme.  Next we needed to answer questions that was related to the poem.

Next we needed to answer various of questions related to the song.  Lastly we needed to add a picture or shape to show the main idea.

Lasly around the central image, we needed to create text boxes with different feelings from the poem (like happy, sad, confused).

First the whole school gathered into the hall besides the year 7 & 8 senior because they had a sports session going on, as everyone sat down in there places we all could see some of Sally Sutton’s books aligned on the staged where we could see them.

Next Sally Sutton introduced herself before telling us more about herself, she also read us one of her books “The Cat From The Muzzle” she explained she was inspired to write about a cat who walked all the way from its home back to the farm muzzle which took the cat 5 weeks know one how he did it, she explained her publisher gave her the idea in the first place.

Lastly we were allowed to ask Sally Sutton a question about her career as an author before waving good bye and left for our sport session.

Next we needed to create a find at least 3 images from any of the public domain sites on the right, on the next slide, create a collage using those images.

• • It helps people earn money for their hard work.
  • It’s fair because people deserve to own what they create.
  • You wouldn’t want someone to take something you made without asking, right?

This week we practised answering questions about a text. We learned how to find important words in the question and look in the text for the answer. We also learned to cross out wrong answers and pick the best one. This helps us understand what we read better.

This week on Thursday Panmure Bridge School had a disco!! and it was really really fun, heres what I did at the school disco.

Next the disco finally started but we had to sign our way in, after that we got greeted with some drinks, glow sticks, and chips, I went back to my classmates and then we started dancing to the music everyone felt the rhythm, then the DJ told us to have a dance battle in the middle, he asked what our team names were gonna be, our one was Team Sigma and it was given by my classmate Malosi.

Lastly everyone was walking down the lane that everyone made, then we started a congo line for the last song, the DJ got down and starting dancing last minute but went back up that was pretty funny, the congo line kept on going but then it was time to go, we all went to our teachers and then went home I walked and then my classmates got picked up.

I felt tired and happy and excited and the same time it was a fun time and yeah.
