Comparing Bears

Bears are large mammals. Some bears are alike, some are different. Bears look wild and scary. Don't you dare think bears are cute! They are wild. They will hurt you. Black bears eat honey, insects, fruit and fish. Polar bears eat fish and seals. They both have sharp teeth. Polar bears have naps and black bears hibernate. By Harman

Bears are furry animals. Cubs are little cute bears. They look like mammals. They hunt for food but Polar Bears hunt for fish in the sea and Black Bears hunt for insects.  Everyone thinks bears are cute, but they're not and they are dangerous. When there is no food for the bears they have to hunt everywhere. If they don't have food for a long time they won't survive. By Liang

Bears are big dangerous animal that can scratch your back. They look cute but they have huge teeth. Polar Bears hunt for food in the water. They eat fish and seals. Polar bears have webbed claws to help them swim. Black Bears hibernate, but Polar Bears just have little naps. All the bears are mammals. Baby bears are called cubs. Cubs stay with their mother for 2 years. By Keisha

Professor Flumf the Great Explorer

We have been reading a book about Professor Flumf, a famous explorer who finds treasure on an island. He is a bit forgetful and leaves his suitcase at the airport, his compass in his sailboat and his camera on the plane. He recieved a letter from a Pharoah inviting him to visit the pyramids of Giza. We wrote a reply pretending that we were Professor Flumf.

Dear Pharoah,
Thank you for the invitation and ticket to Egypt. Please bring a friendly camel who won't spit on me when I get there. But where is the pyramid? I will be happy to tell you about France and Thailand.
From Professor Flumf AKA Andre

Dear Pharoah,
Thank you for the invitation. I am happy to tell you about France and Thailand. Are there some mummies in Egypt? I have got a ticket and will be coming next Sunday. Please bring a nice camel that doesn't spit to the airport.
Love from Professor Flumf AKA Harman

Elmer the elephant

Elmer the Elephant trudged into the jungle. He went into a magic tree house and wished he had lots of colours. His wish came true. He saw a fire engine and the firemen said 'you can come with us to use your trunk and squeeze water out of your trunk.' Elmer saved the day.   By Michael

Elmer the Elephant has lots of colours. When Elmer was born he was grey. His Mum bought some jelly beans and he thought that they were peanuts. Next he ate them. He got the colours on his tummy. He went back home and his Dad said 'where did you get those colours?' So Elmer shared some colours with his family and friends.  By Harman

Elmer the Elephant trudged into the deep jungle. He found a very full jar of jelly beans. He ate every single one of them. When he got back, his friends were amazed with his colours so they went to the empty jelly bean jar and they all made a wish. They wished that they were colourful and the rainbow gave them some colours. They all lived happily ever after.  By Connor

Elmer the Elephant was a rainbow coloured elephant and he had a lot of colours on his body. He trudged into the jungle. Soon he found all of his friends and asked if they would play with him. But his friends said "no." They said he looked ridiculous but they knew that he had got his rainbow colours from some jelly beans because he had eaten them. The elephants laughed at him and he did not like it. He didn't want his rainbow colours anymore.  By Tanisha

Using our imaginations...

Today it rained. It rained all day. We were cooped up inside ALL day! Our teacher took out the dressing-up clothes for the first time this year and we went wild. It was so much fun dressing up, playing princesses and cops and robbers. We had time to use our imaginations to role play different scenarios. We laughed so hard we thought our sides would split.

Autumn poems

Autumn is the time when colourful leaves fall from the tall trees,

Autumn is the time for hot yummy chocolate crepes,

Autumn is when the animals hibernate,

Autumn is the time for a nice hot bath.

By Connor

Autumn is cold,

Autumn is sunny,

Autumn is windy,

Autumn is animals hibernating,

Autumn is rainy,

Autumn is leaves dying, 

Autumn is colourful leaves

Autumn is crunchy,

Autumn is hot showers and baths.

By Harman

Autumn is hot chocolate- very very hot!

Autumn is some animals hibernating,

Autumn is dying crunchy leaves,

Autumn is the wind blowing fast,

Autumn is a special day you can sleep in!

If I were a ...

If I was a bee, I would sting people with my stinger and collect nectar from the flowers. I would give the nectar to the Queen. Afterwards all of the bees would eat the honey together.

By Harman

If I was a butterfly I would have beautiful colours. I would have patterns on my wings. If I found flowers I would suck the nectar and lay an egg underneath a leaf. I have a large family.

By Amisha

If I was a praying mantis, I would camouflage myself on a leaf and wait until I caught a fly. When it rains I would hide under a tree and wait until the rain has finished. I would live in the woods with my friends. I would play tag with them.

By Connor

If I was an army ant I would kill a scorpion with my strong team and fight every insect to protect the colony.
