Word Cline - Tall

     Today in writing did a word Cline activity and we picked any word like fast, slow, big, small. I picked Happy.

The Surprised Mouse

Slowly and cautiously he raised his small curious face, just
like he does every morning. One day he came out of his mouse
home and he went to the mouse restaurant. When he finished
he came out of the restaurant he was surprised and scared of
what he saw. He saw a gigantic cat licking his lips ready to eat
the little mouse. But then the mouse ran as fast as he could,
the cat also tried to catch the mouse but the cat was too fat
and tired and could not catch the mouse. So the mouse was
safe and happy in his little tiny home.  

Finding Their Way

Today in class we looked for interesting words in our books. Then we wrote 5 words on a google drawing and found the meaning of that word. I also included a picture to go with the words.

The Unwritten

The Unwritten

Inside this box

Hunch taonga that never been discovered

Never been seen 

Never been mention

They’re hiding

They’re scared in there

Dark in dark

Listening to us 

But they won’t come out 

Not for singing not for writing not for reading.

Even when the box has gone rusty

They’ll still be there

Sleeping away

Crowds of people and days to come

Dreaming of them

Be none the wiser

What treasure can it be

That they won’t show

In what treasure

Would I know it

Would I be ready to find it

To make out the real treasure

Of everything

Maybe there aren’t many

It could be that there's only one treasure

And it's all we need

It’s here in this box

Every box in the world is like this
