Another poem from the Arlo from the orca which describes his feelings.

Happiness

Happiness sounds like laughing 

Feels like fun

Like a pure and happy life

Refreshing, clear, sweet

Cheerful laughter on a sunny day

Doing things you like

Happiness smells like a strong sweet flower

Like, YAY, Woohoo!

Joy in your heart

A large grin

Birthday cake

Laughter 

Like summer

Happiness is about being who you are and having fun with friends and family 

Another poem from the Arlo from the orca which describes his feelings.

 Sadness 

Crying

Cold tear dripping on your face

Water and cold air

Crying

Tears running down your face

Like a cold gust of wind

You are no one 

Tears dropping out of your eyes

Into the ocean

Salty tears

Hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu hu 

You’ve had enough

Crying salty tears and sweat

Bitter feeling of guilt, depression and regret 

Sadness is blue, a rainy day

Today we researched about groups that work for peace and justice. My group researched about The United Nations.

A collaborative poem written by all of Room 8. This poem express our feelings about anger looking through the eyes of Arlo from Arlo and the Orca by Monique Walker.

Anger

Anger feels like letting your rage out

A clenched fist 

Blood, salty sweat

Growling and yelling

Rough and hot

Like a red face

Anger smells like danger

Like air

Shelter and screaming 

Painful and hurtful

Madness and crazy actions of destruction 

Like smoke

Burning coal

A fire raging and growing limitlessly 

Anger is an emotion you want to show or not, 

It starts when we get upset about something 

This week Monique and Stacey came to class and presented Monique’s book. We learnt that it’s okay to cry and that life can be  moody, storm with waves of emotion BUT to remember the sun will always come back

 

Thank you Monique and Stacey for presenting your book!

In today work I learnt about the life cycle of a Mosquito.

We make decisions according to our conscience. I have created an ordered process to help work through my decisions according to my christian values.

For today’s event 11 school’s around our area went to the massive theatre at Sylvia Park to see our wonderful movies we made. As 11 school’s watch each others movies, we get to see many great movies. I especially like this specific movie by Panmure Bridge school called “Pokeblade,” this movie was awesome! It was filled with laughter and enjoyment, it is a 10 out of 10 in my opinion. There was also some awesome movies like, “In Your Head”-by Ruapotaka School, “School Photo Day Disasters”-by Pt England and “Matter of Faith”-by Pt England. These movies just didn’t stand out as “Pokeblade”. Overall, it was a nice experience and I wish to do it again next year.
