I can't write a poem by Margarita

Forget it
You must be kidding
I've got poemophobia
The right side of my brain isn't functioning
I forgot how to write!
Something smells...it must of been you!
I've got a headache.
I'm allergic to paper.
I've only got a 3 second memory!
My pencil's on strike!
Time's up? Uh oh!
All I have is a dumb list of excuses.
You like it? Really? No kidding.
Thanks a lot. Would you like to see another one?

I can't write a poem dy Hannah Moffat

Forget it
You must be kidding
I broke my arm
My pencils white
My desk fell over
I don't have a pencil
My brain's dead
I don't know how to write a poem
I need to go to the loo
My fingers fell off
Time's up? Uh oh!
All I have is a dumb list of excuses.
You like it? Really? No kidding.
Thanks a lot. Would you like to see another one?

I Can't Write a Poem By Dorrie

Forget it
You must be kidding
My bar blisters hurt and one popped
I've only got a three second memory
My pencil is not sharp and I don't have a sharpener
I'm getting to distracted because people are talking
My arm really hurts!
I forgot how to write
My eyes really hurt
I can't really be bothered
Time's up? Uh oh!
All I have is a dumb list of excuses.
You like it? Really? No kidding.
Thanks a lot. Would you like to see another one?

Swimming

Woah! We have been working hard at the pool this week. Check out the action from Thursday!

Fabulous Faces

Check out our Fabulous Faces using crayon and dye. We were learning to show tone of skin colour in our drawings. We noticed there were many different shades to our face and we tried to identify these with different coloured crayons. We then used dye to make our faces fabulous!!

Goal Setting - Mindmapping style

This week we have been setting goals to direct our learning for the term. We used a mindmapping structure to form our goals and state what strategies we will use to achieve them.
Before we started we discussed a set of criteria to follow when creating a mindmap. This is what we came up with:

* Our branches needed to look 'organic' i.e they needed to look like tree branches.
* Each branch needed to be the length of the writing.
* Each branch needed to be coloured differently.
* We needed to make our sentences short, using keywords.
* We needed to allow space to add to our mind map at the end of the term.
* We needed to add pictures to support our ideas.

Tell us what you think!
