Sri Lanka And Dancing And Music.

In Sri Lanka is a place for dancing and for music. It is not always for dancing and and music, it is also work as well. But don't worry it's a cool place too for dancing. Our class is making masks from
Sri Lanka for the mask parade.

My trip to NIS

Today we went to Nelson Intermediate School for a look around. It was pretty cool.

In class rm7 is doing poetry

In my class we are learning about poetry. Like similes and metaphors. Similes have things like as and like, metaphors don't have like and as they have is and was. We have being doing acrostic poems, cinquains & next week we're doing Limericks (which I have no clue what they are). We have our own poetry groups too. I'm in the group called Wha. The other people in the Wha group are Martina, Kyle M, Maddie, Kyle C, Nic, Keegan.

Our Poems

We did some very fun activities to do with poems like recreating new poems out of the words of a teabag poem which was very funny because it said "I'd like to be a teabag...". It was funny!

Poetry in Room 7

I'm doing poetry in class at the moment.

Getting ready for the mask parade

In a few weeks Nelson Central School are taking part in the nelson arts festival and room 7 are making sri lank curing masks so if you see someone ill you should dance in front of them and it is supposed to make them better. At the moment i have just finished the first side of my big ears.

On a Wednesday morning all the year 6 kids at Nelson Central School went to Nelson Intermediate for a tour around the school.

Poetry

For the rest of the term we are learning about Poetry. Right now we are doing similes and metophors. Rick (our teacher) put some questions up for us and we had to work out if they were simile or a metophors. Also we did our own poems and soaked them in tea to make them look old fashioned and once it had dried we burnt the sides of it to make it look even cooler.
