Haiku

Last week we have been learning about Haiku. A Haiku is a type of poem. On the first line it has 5 syllables and the second is 7 and the last is 5. Here's mine:

At the golden bay

The puppies are being born

On a Sundy night.

Winter Sports Tournament

On Wednesday 28 July 8 people from our class room participated in the winter tournament. They were Sammi O., Jenna, me, Jonah, Luke, Brad , Nic and Izobella.

All the boys were in rugby and all the girls were in netball. All the netball girls won 1 time ,

drew 2 times and lost 1 time. The rugby people people lost all of their games. We all enjoyed it and we would definitely recommend it.

My best part of term 2

A while ago we read The Secret Garden. It was the illustrated version. Last week and this week we have started watching the movie . We finished it today. It was 1 of my favourite movies I had watched this year.

Netball Win!

This afternoon the Woodend Year 5/6 A and B Teams played against Kaiapoi North School at Gladstone Park. Both teams won their games and really enjoyed the competition. There was such a lot of good team spirit from both sides. Well done girls!

The Soccer World Cup

In the last few weeks we have bean filling in the soccer world cup poster. NZ did very well but we have now dropped out. But I reckon that Portugal will win with their high score of 7 against North Korea.

The Legend of Captain Crow's Teeth

Author: Eoin Colfer

Illustrator: Tony Ross

Publisher: Penguin Books

Four words to describe this book are: funny, cool dancey, awesome.

Two new words I learnt from reading this book are: demented and flabbergasted

My favourite part of the story is when HP starts talking baby talk so he will get more attention. This book is special because the boy is nine.

Sporty Day!

Last Wednesday was a busy, sporty day at Woodend.

In the morning, all the students participated in the Cross Country. I was so impressed with how everyone joined in and gave it their best, whether they were running as part of a relay team or in the individual races.

Special congratulations to the following Room 13 students who did outstandingly in their age groups: Jenna (1st), Sammi (3rd) and Karl (1st) and Nic (3rd). They are all off to run at Kaiapoi tomorrow and Jenna will be competing in the Zones also. Awesome!

Later, in the afteroon, we all went to watch the senior soccer team play against Kaiapoi. A special TV crew were there to film it and we got to practise our awesome cheerleading skills!

Anzac Day

This week in Room 13 we have been reading Anzac stories. It has been lots of fun.
