Onomatopoeia

We have been looking at onomatopoeia.
Onomatopoeia explains a sound like, boom, crash, plop and smash.
I wrote a song about it to remember what onomatopoeia is, and it goes like this:

Onomatopoeia, wouldn't want to be ya, here are some sounds you'll need to know.
Splish, slap, smash, splash, squish and squirt.
Onomatopoeia, wouldn't want to be ya, here are some sounds you'll need to know,
Ding, dong, crash and bong.
Don't forget these sounds:
Bang, sizzle, splish, splat, slap, smash, splash, squish, squirt, ding, dong, crash and bong!
Don't forget onomatopoeia.

Poems

Its Term 4 and I am now learning to write Poetry. I have just recently wrote a poem about a snail. Even know we have just started poetry I am really getting into it. We have also been learning about friends. What a friend should do to you and what you should do to a friend. Speaking about friends I'm loving this term because everyone is being friendly and nice to each other.

Myths and Legends

I have recently been learning about myths and legends. I had to make a folder on the activities that I did on 5 of the myths and legends that I had read.

My favourite myth and legend was A MERMAID AND A MAGIC COMB.

I had a choice one of of 15 activities to complete after I read each myth. Every myth I did I had to do a different activity.

These are the myths and legends that I read
1. The boy in the fire
2. The first murder
3. The Greeks go home
4. A mermaid and a magic comb
5. The monkey and the crocodile

Haundertwasser Art

This week we have been using pastels to do drawings of buildings that Hundertwasser designed.
Hundertwasser hated straight lines and always said ''straight lines is the devils tool''.
Hundertwaser always did colourful, bright buildings and loved using very shiny gold on the domes.
Using the pastals was very messy and I got quiet dirty but my picture turned out to be great.

Dancing sultanas and exploding canisters

This week I did 2 science experiments and they were called dancing
sultanas and exploding canisters.

Dancing sultanas
I put 7 sultanas in with a cup of 250 mills of 7 up and waited for about 7 seconds
and the sultanas were jumping up and down.
Then I put 7 sultanas in a cup of water and they didn't jump.
It wasn't very exciting.

Exploding canisters
I poured some vinegar in the canister and poured a little bit
of bicarb soda onto the lid and quickly turned it over and attached it onto
the canister and in only 1 second the lid exploded of again.
I had to try it a few to get it right.

Olympics,myths,legends and responsibility.

4M has been learning about the Olympics, myths, legends and responsibility.

Olympics
We have been learning about the olympics and have been doing an A.S.P.I.R.E page with the boxing kangaroo. The Australian Olympic team uses the A.S.P.I.R.E values to help them be the best that they can be.
These are the A.S.P.I.R.E values:
A. attitude
S. sportsmanship
P. pride
I. individual responsibility
R. respect
E. express yourself

Myths and legends
On my computer I looked up myths and legends and I got a lot of them. Mrs.Mitchell put all of them up on our site in learning links.

Responsibility
We are learning about responsibility and what it means. Our question is can we have rights without responsibility.

Hi, I am a year four student introducing myself.
I go to a primary school in Townsville. I love to sing and I’ve been in two competitions and I’ve always achieved a place. I also enjoy dancing, art and doing science experiments.
My goals are to get a very good marks in school and to care for myself and others.
We have just recently been on holidays for three weeks.
In the holidays I went to the Townsville show and visited family.
