Koru Whanau Poetry Festival

Today was our Koru Whanau Poetry Festival. 

Three people from each class were chosen to recite their poems in front of parents and the Koru Whanau!

 Mrs Venville and Mrs Knofflock were the judges and we all sat and watched our friends perform.

 Matthew, Paris and Sophie did a super job reciting their poems from Room 9a. Mrs Burge was very proud.

 Vienna, Ben and Arianna also did a fantastic job reciting their poems from Room 9. Mrs Edmonds was very proud.

Mrs Venville and Mrs Knofflock presented the certificates to the children.

 Look at those proud faces! Well done guys!

What an afternoon! Matthew, Paris, Sophie, Vienna, Ben and Arianna did Room 9 and 9a proud!

Poetry

Every week we have a big book and a poem. In week 3 we had The Giant's Ice Cream as our big book and a poem called Ice Cream.

Arianna brought in her Smiggle ice-cream highlighter which was like the ice cream that the giant made! How cool was that!

The children drew some amazing ice creams to illustrate their poems. 

Ice cream, ice-cream yummy stuff!!!!

What is your favourite ice cream?

Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star

Our Poem for this week is Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star

We used oil pastels to draw the stars.

Then we used ink to cover the whole paper. 

The ink was like magic and it ran off the oil pastels so the beautiful stars shone through.
