Tidal Waves Goal

I’m draining all the azure water
Taller, taller I’m soaring towards the cloudless sky.
A powerful, roaring wave racing for the shore

I’m surging forward flying through the foamy water gaining metres as I’m determined to create chaos and disarray

CRASH! Devastation hits the once peaceful island.
Shouts and screams fill the air.
As the pandemonium carries on I am drawn back, back out to sea, gone

Journey of a Cloud

Rising,
Mini dew drops were gathering,
Forming a fluffy white cloud,
A comforting, relaxing rise up… up into the bright blue sky.

I’m moving,
The fluffy white blanket hovers silently,
Flying me around higher, higher I rise,
Drifting delicately to the endless sky,
Invisible strings yank me forward.

Faster.
The clouds travel faster… faster,
The cold strong wind has arrived,
He bolted me forwards,
Increasing speed,
I changed to a dark grey then I crashed…
Into another cloud and down cascaded the heavy rain.

Waterfall Trail

I’m splashing on hard, black rocks,
Being forced into white-water currents.
I spot a drop up ahead…


SPLASH
All of gravity’s force plunging me down,
causing me to plummet eighty metres like a plane with engine
failure, smashing in to the water below.

I catch up with all my water mates,
in the frozen cold water,
and head off down a fresh stream.

Butterfly

I’m fluttering
My delicate, fragile black and orange wings,
Attached to my furry, black, stick-like body,
My antenna wavering in the breeze


Tumbling, flittering, swooping,
Led by the wind,
Seeking sweet nectar


Finding a swan plant
Finally laying my precious egg,
The journey of life to begin again.

Snowflake Advenutre

I’m falling,
Carelessly thrown from above,
The world rushes past,
An unexpected, abusive plummet to the ground.

I’m dissolving,
The sun snatches my coat,
Leaving the bare bones, melting me into a bouncy ball.

Rejoining,
The snow punches me in the stomach,
Not the friendliest welcome.

Crashing and Smashing

I’m crashing
Smashing against the warm golden sand
So angry, so angry
An azure surge of anger.

Gravity reaching for me
Pulling me back into the vast
turquoise blanket
Tumbling back
I’m part of the sea again.

I feel a powerful push of gravity
A white cap forms on my head
I fell a familiar force
Here I go again, the everlasting cycle.

Lake of Life

Life
I’m guarding life… guarding life from death.
Swift movement in my blood, but still in calm silence
Protection I provide, caring for the marine life, peace will remain.

Ripple
To some I am hydration
They steal my faithful fluids
The beasts and thieves of land

Forever
I envy those around me
I envy those who walk upon land
My water may travel around the world
Yet I will stay here forever.

Rapid Ripple

I’m calmly rippling on the reflective
surface
Flowing downstream in all the azure water commencing a gentle ride.

I’m being brutally sucked in by
violent water,
Snatched away,
Towards a hasty fall,
I begin to plummet, plummet
Being walloped and scraped by
menacing rocks.

CRASH! I’m joined by other ripples
restarting my gentle ride.

A Cloud's Life

I’m crying,
My heavy tears plummeting towards the ground,
All my tears, never relenting their descent,
My tears will keep falling, until I have no more tears to cry.

The sun is rising,
My blue side has vanished,
I’m cruising through the cloudy sky,
My chirpy side is home.

Whoosh! Whoosh!
The wind is picking up,
I’m being thrown around,
On a WILD roller coaster ride.

The wind has died down now,
But, I’m sad again,
My threatening colour has returned,
Soon my tears will start falling…soon.

Kids4Drama

We all had so much fun. It was an actioned packed nearly 2 hours where we experienced working in groups to produce a range of scenes using different techniques.

Doughnut, freeze frame, hot seating, advertisements...we tried them all.

Wendy was such a great facilitator because she kept things moving in such a positive way.

The environmental messages she gave also had an impact. Have you shared what you learned with someone else? What action have you taken as a result?

Term 3 Update

You will remember we were to have Kids4Drama facilitators in our room in the last week of term. This was postponed because of sickness.

The good news is, this has been rescheduled for the first day of term.

End of Term

Eleven weeks...and the term is over. It is great to see how many of you have managed to publish a little about your Trash to Fashion outfit on our classroom BLOG in the last few days.

Maybe you will have time to use some of the new skills you have learned to create something else during your holidays...Have fun and Mrs McConnell and Mrs Jamieson look forward to seeing you back refreshed ready for another busy term on 19 July

Volt Girl

Volt girl has the power to shoot lighting bolts. She helps people in distress and solves people's problems.

When I first started I had problems with my plan. . .
After my ordeal and stress, I designed a new plan which is now my finished product!
I am quite happy with my dress and my favorite part was doing the shoes (with some help from mum).If I had to do it again, I would work on realistic plans. Trash to fashion was heaps of fun!

Material Mayhem

We started with the cape by sewing carpet samples along the bottom and sewed the logo 'mm', standing for Material Mayhem, on the back. We cut out the dress and sewed the sides together with black material. We then plaited the scarf and made a matching necklace, bracelet and gloves. It turned out well, but was hard work.
