Drama

For poetry room 2 have been turning poems into drama and actions. To make a poem into drama you have to use emotions and thoughts from the poem to turn into actions and exciting voices. This is fun to do with friends and to be in groups because they are using the same poem, actions and voices.  I like doing drama every week and learning more about drama. It teaches you how to be confident and how to look further into the poem and past the words.

It's Time To Know!!

When you eat some candy the lolly is gone and so is the taste all too soon!! If only there was some candy you could eat and would last long enough to full you up. Wait ! There is a candy which is so big you wouldn't believe your eyes! This candy is 26 inches long and 128 times more bigger than a normal gummy worm. Yes! It is a big worm of gummy goodness! You have to try it!!!

Compare the gummy worm with the hand in the picture. WOW I know!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Flood is Back!!

It happened in 2006 and now it's happening again!! In 2006 there was a flood! When you looked outside you couldn't even see the tops of the posts and the fences! Its not as bad this time but everyone is saying it is 2006 all over again!! This morning we went for a walk around our house to get some photos of the flooding. My sister and I went into the water but not too far! We didn't want to fall in! It has been a very exciting morning and even the horses came over to see the flooding!! No school today because we can't even drive down our driveway to get there. Last night there were lots of cars going up and down the valley and so were we. You could see that already in the paddocks there were  puddles turning into lakes!! Everyone is ringing up people in the valley to make sure they're ok. It has been all very exciting with a flood in Whangaehu again!
