Why is the Moon upside down?

This week, Luisa and I have been working on why the moon seems upside down in The Northern Hemisphere so we created a Google drawing to show our thinking. We also Showed the different kinds of angles that we see the Moon. What we view from Japan and what we view from New Zealand.

The Kitchen

Eat your food and don’t clean the mess

Try your best to not impress.

Don’t clean your dishes

Don’t scrub them too

incomes my  mother “ I’ll clean the mess for you!”

Leave the cupboard doors open, for sure they will close

It will attract your pet’s attention, lead by the nose.

“Bang!” shouts  the pan as it drops on the floor

As you can see, your mess has spread more!

Don’t worry, it’s not as much of a huge problem

It just makes you feel awesome.

Set up a soccer set inside the kitchen,

you don’t need to ask your parents for permission.

You get a soccer ball made out of cheese,

don’t be careful if you have lost the keys.

Winter Holidays

Winter Holidays

Winter holidays are white like a polar bear

They taste like Hot-chocolate with pink marshmallows

They smell of damp clothing from running around in the rain

They look like water droplets from the rain sticking on the windows waiting for the sun to come up

It sounds like lightning hitting the ground and causing thunder

It feels heavy from all of the extra clothing I am wearing
