Two wonder day

As I wake up in the morning my teeth start to shiver

I hear the raindrops dripping on my ceiling

I get out of bed then start to freeze

Once I see my lunch I suddenly sneeze

When I walk out the door I feel nauseous and ill

As my sickness gets to me I become depressed.  

As I wake up I feel energetic and fearless

I skip around the house helpful and bright.

As I get my lunch and gallop out the door I see birds chirping and sun behind the hill

As i'm walking school I see the bright blue sky and sunny sun.

This week we have been learning about poetry. We learnt how to make senses and words rhyme and we learnt how to use juxtaposition the definition for juxtaposition is to join two opposites together such as the clock watched over me and the TV stared right back at me. Tai and I made this poem based on how we get ready for school and we learnt a lot while making this poem we learnt how to use powerful words and to make words and scenes rhyme.

Lung capacity

This graph shows the lung capacity of our class. What we did was we each got a balloon then saw how much we can blow the balloon with one breath then we measured it. This activity was learning about human body and we learnt about the lungs. We learnt when breath in air it go's through lungs then you breath carbon dioxide.

How to survive a cow attact

This work shows how what to do in a cow attack. When people are being chased by cows they would usually run but the best thing to do if you are in this situation is to stay still because it keep chasing until you stop and you will make it angry. If cows think you are up to something such as sneaking up on and If they are staring at you the best thing to do is to back away calmly and slowly it will start to lose interest and walk away.

Snowboarding vs skiing

Snowboarding vs skiing

If I had to choose between snowboarding and skiing I would choose
snowboarding because in skiing you have a better chance of breaking
something such as your ankles or your knees or injuring yourself.
 For my second reason why I prefer snowboarding because there’s
more tricks and you can do a lot more in snowboarding. For my third
reason why I prefer snowboarding because there are different ways
of snowboarding such as changing your style in mid air getting big
air and speeding. Picking between these two sports was difficult
because I thought about the sports on what happens in these sports
then I made my decision on going with snowboarding.

Skating is the thing you should learn. This skill is useful to getting to the run and getting from and to t
he chair lift. Walking up hill is a skill to help to walk up hill while one foot is strapped to the board.
You start by having your foot in front then you dig your board into the the
snow so you don’t slide down the hill. One foot riding is a necessary skill for getting off the chair lift.
