How We Use The Sea

This term we have been looking at How we use the Sea and have had a lot of fun learning new things. For our quick writes we have been looking at different ideas to link in with this topic - and here are some of them for you to enjoy. 

What if we lived under the sea?

If we lived in the sea, we would all be fish and I would want to be a starfish. I would live with the other starfish in the sea. I really want a jellyfish for  a pet.

If we lived under the sea, I would be friends with the fish like a mermiad. I would go to a under water school. In there the games we could play would only be swimming. When I go home, sadly I would eat fish for dinner.

If I lived under the sea, the front door would be made out of coral. In my house I would have cooked seaweed and what I would drink is jellyfish water. My bed would be able to play the sound of the sea. My bed would be made of rocks. Don’t worry – I would have a matress on top of the rocks. My tower would be made out of seaweed because seaweed is really strong.

If we lived under the sea we would have to have a massive air tank shop so we could survive. It would be awesome if I saw a baby Angler fish. It would guide me back to my amazing underwater house. I would have a pet stingray in a 10 metre by 10 metre tank. It would stay with me. The stingray’s name would be Bobby or Stingray.

If we lived under the sea it would be really freaky because you would see scary great white sharks. I would want to be in the midnight and twilight zones because it would be fun to have more space in the water and to have fun with the whales. But scary too.

What if there was no sea?

If there was no sea I would be happy beause no one would drown and we wouldn’t have any tsunamis. But is we have no water, we can’t get water from the sea. We might have a massive city!

If there was no sea there would be no home for the fish and the other sea creatures. We couldn’t eat fish and shrimp and other things that live in the sea. The human’s could not go swimming, surfing and diving. Human’s could not get their daily water.

What if we made the sea like a zoo and put creatures in certain places?

It would be cool and I would work there. There would be a gaint pool that fits all the sea creatures in the world. They would go in special cages and I would control a machine that has all food that the sea creatures like to eat. I would control the line that makes it move.

Asking questions

Today we looked at being curious, asking questions and using what we already know to help us form new ideas.

We watched an amazing video about the size of our earth compared to the rest of the universe. It was mind blowing and while we played the movie, we had post it notes to write down questions we had. Have a watch and see what questions you might have!

Forest Description

In the forest,I can see a high canopy of trees surrounding me, filled with twittering birds. I can hear the rustle of leaves, footsteps and chirping birds. I can smell the fresh grass and flowers. I can feel the gravel footpath, the crunchy autumn leaves and the rough bark on the trees. I can taste the crisp breeze on my tongue. By Amy McKerras.

Hosting Full School Assembly

Last week, we hosted the full school assembly with our Buddy Class, Room 2. We had so much fun learning our lines, practising our songs and dances and performing for the whole school. Because it was also Road Safety week, we used that as our theme and pretending to invite a new kid to our school to teach them about all our Travel-wise ways! With the help of the Polkadot's Travel-wise Star Soundtrack, we pulled of an amazing assembly - we were so proud of our classes! Here are some of their reflections.

Something I enjoyed was when we did the moves to 'beat your feet' because there were funny moves in the song. Something I did well was my script. I put heaps and heaps of effort. If I did it again I would like to be one of the students because they had heaps of lines.

Something I enjoyed was singing because I love singing. Something I did well was being the narrator because I could say my lines clearly. If we did it again I wish I could be on stage or be the new kid, because I like to be on stage
