Nadias Earthquake Poem

Earthquakes make us cry.
Earthquakes rumble and shake.
Earthquakes make church’s tumble
People cry because people died.
They get upset because there jobs tumbled down.

So let us know that we will be strong Christchurch

Our "Door to the South Pole Opened" Writing

The door to the South Pole opened to reveal a white carpet that covered Christchurch. There was enough snow for about 10,000 snowballs.

Snowballs are cold, round, freezing, wet, white and made of snow. You can find a snowball in chilly, icy, frosty, snowy weather like it was in Christchurch. You can use a snowball for snow sculptures and snowball fights.

We would be lucky if penguins followed the weather because we would get to see Emperor, Adelie, Gentoo, King and Rock hopper penguins. We would also be unlucky if penguins came because once the snow had melted they would be too hot.

The snowy end. By Sasha

The door to the south pole opened, the snow blew in so we had a snowball fight. A snowball is a spherical object made from snow. Scoop it up in your hands and make a small sized ball. The weather needs to be zero degrees or above as it gives the snow more water to be able to make the snowball. If its too cold 0 degrees or below the snow is powdery and becomes crumbly

Our Flower Experiment for Procedural Writing







In team 26 we have been practicing writing procedures. Our Procedures include a title, a goal and a list of materials. We write step by step instructions so that someone could read our procedure and do the task we have written about. Our instructions always have a verb (doing word) at the start of our instructions.

Here are some photos of us making flowers to see how water can effect materials.
