The Wind:Teagan
The wind pounces
on trees like a cheetah.
It sneaks silently
getting ready and then
runs
and pounces on everything.
This is my poem about wind. We had to give and inanimate object an animal characteristic.
Maths: Teagan
My learning intention was to work out big equations using addition columns. My activity was to work out big equations. It was kind of easy and kind of hard because we had to work out a lot of numbers it was easy because Mrs. Kirkpatrick helped us at the start.

I am a seashell: Teagan
\
I am a wave
I am a wave
Waiting to be
stopped.
I dance upon
the seashells and sand.
I am like a hammer
flattening the rocks
into little pieces.
The waves are the
cymbals in the orchestra
of the ocean.
The white foam is
my teeth nibbling on the
childrens feet.
I am sometimes rough
and sometimes soft.
I like being a wave
because I get to swim
the people.
This is my poem on being a wave. We had to write a poem based on the poem I am a seashell.
