At the Beach: Rhyming Sense Poems

At the beach

When we go down to the beach what do you think  we’ll see?

Two little waves washing over me.

When we go down to the beach what do you think we`ll feel?

Slippery slimy eels under our boat eating a big meal.

When we go down to the beach what do you think we`ll hear?

splashing waves and seagulls squawking near.

When we go down to the beach what do you think we`ll taste?

yummy glazed donut covered in fresh strawberry paste.

When we go down to the beach what do you think we`ll smell?

the salty sea and an oyster shell

At the beach

When we go down to the beach

What do you think we’ll see?

Fish flipping,swings swinging,seagulls flying free.

When we go down to the beach

What do you think we’ll hear?

Seagulls in fear,people having beer,men having a big cheer.

When we go down to the beach

What do you think we’ll taste?

Salty air and food going to waste.

When we go down to the beach

What do you think we’ll feel?

Slimy big eels,a back of a big nice cuddly seal.

When we go down to the beach

What do you think we’ll smell?

A big sandy shell and pizza fresh from hell .

  At the beach

When we go down to the beach,

what do you think we’ll see?

Waves crashing, seagulls gliding,

and bees stinging on my knee.

When we go down to the beach,

What  do you think we’ll hear?

Seagulls squawking, children screaming,

and girl’s song ‘cheer’.

When go down to the beach,

what do you think we’ll taste?

Vanilla ice cream, strawberry slushies

and grape scented toothpaste.

When we go down to the beach,

What do you think we’ll feel?n

Warm sun rays, cold water and

Beautiful shells that are really real.

When we go down to the beach,

What do you think we’ll smell?

Sausages sizzling, chicken nuggets toasting

and a disgusting smell from the shell.

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.

-       Viola

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.

-       Gunn

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.

-       Molly

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.

-       Amy

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.

-       Oliver

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!

-       Evan

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.

-       Shiv

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.

Harold returns to Sunnybrae

We had The Life Education Van come for the last few weeks. Its always exciting having Harold and Corinne come spend some time with us, and this time was no exception. We learned about empathy, dealing with change and understanding how our actions affect others.

Here are some of the students reflections on what we learned with Harold.

Something I learnt about was empathy. This means showing kindness and respect. My favourite part was the lights because they went to the night sky with cool stars. All the effects were disco - red and purple.

- Molly

Something I learned about was empathy. This means to feel how the other person feels. My favourite part was Billy's movie because it showed empathy.

- Shiv

Something I learned about was Empathy. This means when someone is crying you feel it too. My favourite part was the stars on the wall because they looked like real stars

- Ayden

Something I learned about was Empathy. This means putting yourself in somebody's shoes. My favourite part was singing our days of the week song because I love the words that describe the days.

- Young Eun

Until next year, Harold!
