Ooblek Maker By Kenny

Welcome to our Ooblek maker. Today we will be making Ooblek. First we need a big mixing jar and second we need the cornflour. Put them in the mixing jar and put water in the big mixing jar. Put some food dye in the mixing jar and mix for ten of fifteen minutes. Put the mixture in a big box until it is all filled up and Dr. Anthony and Dr. Julian stem on the Ooblek. Ha, ha! Goodbye, goodbye.

Limerick By Aidan

There once was a boy called Mie
Who ate a very big pie
He grew nine heads
and went to his bed
And his head exploded and he died

Haiku By Renia

It was peaceful before they came
There were lakes and flowers
But there aren't any left now

Limerick By Jye

There once was a guy called Jye
Who wanted to eat a pie
His dad said no
So he went to a show
That silly guy called Jye

The Rabbits Haiku By Holly

The rabbits came in boats
They stole our children
And scared our friends

Limerick By Renee

My big sister, Deli
Has a very small belly
She walked down the street
and didn't fall on her feet
That silly big sister, Deli

The Blob By Alex

One sunny day a group of people got together.
"What is this cloud doing here?" Bill said, surprised.
"I don't know," replied Dan.
"How are we going to get rid of it?" said Jason.
"It's green," said Jack.
"That's wasn't the answer I was looking for," repled Jason.
"I'm going home," said Jim.
"Me too," said Brad.
"Let's all go home," said Bill.
"Ok," replied the others and they all went home. Three hours late it was 10 o'clock and two big blobs came out of the sky. The next morning a farmer saw the blob and got stuck in it.
"HELP!" he yelled and eventually he got out. That night an evil magician came out of nowhere. He captured the blob and brought it to his castle. I think he teleported somehow. He melted the blob and added some evil essence. He brought the blob back to where he found it. That morning the town (called Bogasville) went crazy. The town was stuck together. If you went outside you would have suffocated. The travellers came. Maybe they could have helped us but the blob has been undefeated. There was one store that had no goo in it; the fire store. Maybe they could melt the blob. I tried ringing them but the phone line snapped. The Darwin bombings were still happening. I saw a group of aeroplanes and heard, "Prepare for bombings in 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.... DROP BOMBS!!! BANG BANG BANG KABOOM!!!!!! The goo got smaller and smaller as it melted. Finally the war stopped. It was now a blob the size of a person. The fire people made some hot stuff. Some builders built a dome. The fire people set a fire in the top. It melted the blob. Ten days later Dan called the group.
"Now, where were we twelve days ago?" said Bill.
"We were talking about the green cloud," replied Jack.
"Hey look, a green cloud," said Jim.

Arrabri Lodge By Julian

Dear Arrabri,

Thankyou for letting us stay at your wonderful camp. I enjoyed mini golf, archery and the giant swing. The meals were great and so was the games room. There was so much to do in free time that I couldn't decide. Your camp is so beautiful that I want to come back next year. To the best camp ever,

From Julian

A Poem By Sarah G

When the last tree has died,
And the last river has been poisoned,
And the last fish caught,
Will we realise that we can't eat money?

A Very Noisy Birthday Party By Meera

Once there was a very noisy birthday party. The children were screaming and running around. They were driving all the adults mad, so one of the adults thought of an idea.
"Let's eat, "she said."
"Great idea," said another adult and called all the kids to the table and got the food. Just when the adults thought they were going to get some peace and quiet all the kids started talking, shouting, chewing loudly and blowing into their drinks with straws. After they ate the cake which, by the way, was now everywhere;
"Musical Chairs!" yelled one of the kids.
"Yeah," shouted the rest. All the adults were blocking their ears. Well, musical chairs did not work because one of the little boys tripped over a chair leg and fell over. So they had to think about another game instead.
"Musical Statues!" yelled a little girl. It did not work because when the music stopped somebody was standing on one foot so they fell face first onto the floor. So now they had to think of another game.
"I know," said a shy girl, "Let's play Pass the Parcel." So the adults got some old newspapers and some prizes and in no time the kids were playing Pass the Parcel and all the adults thought it was a great game because nobody got hurt, it was fun for the kids and it was quiet.
"Thank goodness for that little girl," said one of the adults quietly. So there you go; a very noisy party turned into a nice quiet party. That was of course until they got bored.

Creating a Gas By Lisa

Aim:

To make it fizz up.

You will need:

a clear plastic cup contianing bicarbonate of soda, 3 sultanas, a mixing stick, warm water and a small amount of vinegar.

Method:

1. Pour warm water into the bicarbonate of soda.

2. Then put sultanas in.

3. Add vinegar.

Prediction:

It might fizz up and explode all over the table and then the sultanas dissolve.

Observation:

The sultanas start bopping up and down. It is really exciting because the gas bubbles are pushing them up.

Picture:

Limerick By Mia

There was a young boy from Mombat
Who picked his nose in combat
He sat on a pin, and ate from the bin
That silly young boy from Mombat

Subliminal Ads By Thalia

Subliminal ads are hard to recognise. They are one second flash ads in the middle of a show. You might not see them but they get caught up in your head and make you want to buy the item. It is illegal. One TV channel has broken the rule. In last year's music awards in 2007 it had subliminal ads. Some of the ads shown were lolly pops, cars, and soft drinks. Also on another kid's game show it showed a video game console. That was a three second flash. That's not so bad. You'll never guess this; after we started watching that show, my sister Georgia wanted the game console for Christmas!

Goodbye Miss Cantwell

We've really enjoyed having Miss Cantwell in our class. We've learnt more about direction and had fun making kites and doing maths activities on our new interactive whiteboard. Thankyou Miss Cantwell. We think you'll make a great teacher and we miss you!

Holly and Miss J Minding the Gap

Kites with Miss Cantwell

We have been very lucky this term to have a student teacher in our classroom called Miss Cantwell. It's been lots of fun. We have made kites for our 'Sport and Leisure' unit. Have a look at these pictures of us making our kites and trying to fly them...

John and John Soup By Laura

(serves 20 people)

1. Choose one Jon/John to put in now and one to put in later.
2. Get a nice clean bowl and put the first Jon/John you chose to go in first then add 2 cups of flower, stir.
3. Put the second Jon/John in the bowl and mash, then taste. If it tastes good heat it up in the oven, if not add half a cup of sugar then heat.
4. Get some herbs (Thyme is the best). Put them in the soup then stir.
5. Serve, eat and and enjoy!

TIP: It tastes great with hot chocolate!

Spiderman Soup By Thalia

Add in a spider, then a man. Put in some DEN DEN DEN (that helps it to get scary). Pour in half a cup of gravy (to help him grow). Choose a web from the laundry. Put all in a bowl and mix well. Put it in front of the heater unitl Spiderman pops out stinking like gravy. If he doesn't stink, do it again. Eat!

Healesville Sanctuary By Julian

On Thurday we went to Healesville Sanctuary. I went on a bus with 3/4K and I sat at the back with Jyedin, Jason and Raymond. Inside the sanctuary there was a huge eagle made of metal perched on a log. As we moved deeper into the sanctuary we spotted an emu running around its enclosure. Then we saw a koala sleeping in its tree. A white bird with a long beak swooped down and I chased it. A few minutes later it came back and attacked me. It pecked me hard on the head and then flew away. Then we had a lesson about where some Australian animals live, what type of animal they are and what they eat. We got to feel a snake, frog and ring-tailed possum. Then we felt a tawny frog-mouth and Conor actually fed it a dead mouse. Then we went to the Birds and Prey show and the bark owl actually scraped my head. Then we had lunch and took a walk around the park and went home on the bus. We had a fun day! (my head still hurts)

My Myth By Samantha

Once upon a time there was a blue, green and white chicken. One day the chicken laid eight eggs. They became Pluto, Neptune, Saturn, Uranus, Jupiter, Mars, Mercury and Venus. That day the chicken burst. Its eyes became the Sun and the Moon and its body became the Earth. Its legs became the rings around Saturn and Uranus and its lice became people. That is how the Solar System began.

Trundle Wheels

Today for maths, our class have been measuring distance using Trundle Wheels. We had to measure how far it was in metres from our classroom to various places around the school including the office, sports shed, front door and toilets. We enjoyed using the Trundle Wheels.

The Titanic

In literacy our group have been reading about the Titanic. We were just reading it a few days ago and we found out lots of things about the people who were on the ship. There were 20 life boats which was not enough because the 20 life boats could only hold about 1000 people and there were more than 2000 people on the ship. Some people in our group made a model of the Titanic using MAB blocks. They made it look just like the real one. Jeremy brought in a model that he had of the Titanic too. It was really good.
