My free verse poem

This week I wrote a free verse poem about a naughty mushroom. Here is my poem.

My naughty mushroom

Today I met a large naughty mushroom.
When I tell him to sit,
he throws mashed potatoes at me.
"Ow", I say.
When he does sit,
it feels like an earthquake under my feet.
Boom,boom,boom!
He dribbles and makes the polar ice caps melt.
Hey look! the water's up to my belt!
The day comes to an end and we fall asleep,
but when he falls asleep he snores.
Then the next day comes and we have to start all over again.

Our structures-Term 4

This week we have been building structures. The materials we used were 30 straws, 60 centimetres of tape and our structure had to be 25 cm or higher. Our class has also been doing maths. We leant a trick for the 9x table, learnt that a quarter turn is 90 degrees,180 degrees is half a turn, 270 degrees is a three quarter turn, and 360 degrees is a full turn and now I know which way clockwise and anti clockwise is.
