Awesome Alliteration!!

Room Five has been writing poems using alliteration. Alliteration is when a letter sound is repeated over and over at the start of words.

Here is Emma's poem:

GLOOPY ALIENS

Leaping aliens are loopy and lumpy.

Slimy aliens are smelly and slippery.

Gloopy aliens are green and gooey.

Twisting aliens are tiny and tasty.

Monster aliens are mad and meanies.

Ruff

This week we decided we needed a class pet. Goldfish are boring and rats are stinky so we decided on a virtual pet. We adopted and named "Ruff". She is an 8 week old Husky. Just like a normal dog we have to care for her everyday.

Because it costs to adopt a pet we decided to not have a class auction this term and put the money towards the adoption.

Ruff is a cool pet. She really likes playing with her frisbee and getting lots of scratches.

Sing Out

Last week two talented members of Room 5 took part in the Sing Out Choir Festival. The theme was Divas and the ladies from the popular band Lipstick sang with them.

Tayla and Summer were in the front row of the massed choir. The year fours and Miss C got to go watch them on Wednesday morning. We thought they were awesome and we sang along with the songs we knew.

Congratulations to Summer and Tayla who had heaps of words to learn and smiled the whole time they were on Stage. Mrs R did a great job with the choir, we are very proud of Makarewa School.

Thanks to Tayla who sent through these photos to put on our blog.
