Object Poems

I reach out for her,

so squishy and small.

My keeper of secrets,

at nightfall.

I cuddle her close,

as night closes in. 

We are together,

as my dreams begin.

I breathe in her scent,

as thoughts come and go.

Where will my slumber take me? 
I don’t know.

She comforts me,

as my fears fade away,

I let her know I’ve missed her,

today.

My bedtime buddy,

Miffy.

My Blankey

Soft, fluffy, huggable, warm

Even though it’s a little torn

Wrapped around me in the night

My white blankey makes me sleep right

Bun Bun

Soft, Furry

Reminding me of birthdays

Sharing girly gossip

Sleeping without a sound

Camping out in the caravan

Having fun on Fridays

Hilarious times on holidays

Snuggling up in bed

Nearly midnight

Fast asleep

Written by Amy 

My snuggly croc has always kept me ripe.

She has never left my side.

When I have nightmares

she scares them all away.

If someone tries to steal Crocy       

I will keep her safe.

She has never let me down 

and she never will.

Piano

Tingling keys go up and down

Notes playing fast and slow

Treble and bass using the moves

Pedals going up and down to make the noise

Hop off the piano tuck in the chair 

wait till the next day that is coming near

My diary
My dairy is special

Reports about each day

Brings back memories 

when I go out to play

When the pages run out 

it will never be the same

I love my dairy

Written by Georgia

Soft spongy soundless

cuddling up with me.

    Sitting watching me

growing and growing.

       Sharkey, my teddy.

Coloured pens.

The key to creativity,

The tool of art,

The riot of colour,

With infinite possibilities.

Draw a car,

A tiger, a house.

So many colours and pictures,

To draw or choose!

With YOUR imagination,

With YOUR choice.

It’s impossible,

To run out of ideas,

With coloured pens.

When I go to bed

I reach out to him.

We cuddle up close

helping my dreams come in.

When we can’t sleep

we talk and talk

until we sleep.

He watches out for me

while I dream.

My night time hero…

Room 6 Reports

Room 6 students have been writing reports about all sorts of things they know about.  Writing a report is similar to most other types of writing – It has a title, an introduction, a description and a conclusion.  Reports are written in the present tense.  

Here are just a handful of our wonderful reports …

The Black Mamba

The Black Mamba is a snake,

The Black Mamba comes in one colour – black.  They are scaly.

They only live in one country, that is Africa – all over Africa.

It mostly hunts in the plains.  Two mice can fill it up for a month.  They slither along the ground.  They are the second deadliest snake in the world,

Fortunately there are no Black Mamba snakes in New Zealand.

Computers

A computer has a big brain because it remembers everything.  The computer is made out of steel and glass and has lots of different things like screws, buttons and ink.  It has lots of cords that connect to the power.  The computer is a square shape.  It has a keyboard.  The computer connects to the keyboard.  You can play games like Kizi, Friv and Road Blocks.  But you need the internet!  It’s a pain when I’m trying to sneak onto it.  But I always seem to get caught by Mum!  A keyboard is used to type things onto the computer and then you can print it off with a printer.  The printer connects to the computer so that it knows what to print off.

Goats

Goats can be white, black, black and white, brown, brown and black, or white, black and brown.

They can live just about anywhere in the world, but are mostly in Egypt.

Goats are mammals because they give birth to live babies.

They have horns like a Triceratops and baggy ears like an elephant.

It likes eating trees, grass and many other things.

Sometimes they fight and push away dogs and things that could attack.

My goat has black spots on its nose and its pale white.  She is cute.

R6’s Class Pet

Room 6’s pet was a mouse.  It was a furry mammal.

This mouse was brown, between 7-14cm long, extremely cute and very athletic.

It lived behind the velvet covered, red couch, which sits close to the food bin.  He was often seen trying to escape from it.

He liked sitting on top of the rugby ball to listen to stories.

He was very distracting.  Our pet stay long thanks to Mr Wooster.

The Megaladon

The biggest shark that ever lived.

Some scientists say they’re mammals because they give birth to their babies.  They mostly look like a great white, but much bigger.  They are about 20m long and live in New Zealand, Australia, India and America.  They take out all whales by biting their flippers off .  The only fossils of them found are their teeth!

This shark is in the movie Jaws.

Australia

Australia is large country with many experiences.

Australia is the country with the most deadly creatures on the planet, such as Taipans, sea snakes and platypus.

Australia also has the mighty Sydney Opera House – a huge building that has more than 1 million white granite tiles.  Australia also owns the Great Barrier Reef – a large coral sea with loads of fish.

Australia’s capital is Canberra. 

Australia lies on the coast of the Pacific, about three hours flight from New Zealand.

I like to go to Australia because of their great hotels.

Rugby

Rugby is a sport.

There are 15 people in a team on the field with two teams.  You score tries and tackle.  When you get a try you get to kick the ball over the goal post and if you get it over you get 5 points.  A game is 2 hours.  I like rugby because you can tackle people and score tries.  Rugby is a winter sport.

Rugby is my favourite sport.
