Senses Poems

The most beautiful beach in the world - Uretiti
I really enjoyed reading your senses poems this week.  
Write one to share about 'The Beach'.  
Think about sounds, sights, smells, tastes and things you feel or can feel at the beach.
I see...
I smell...
I taste...
I hear...
I feel...
Remember to describe what you can sense e.g. I can hear the waves crashing loudly on the white sandy beach.
Put your name at the end.

Music with Mrs Hohaia

Today when I called in to see you at music with Mrs Hohaia, I was so impressed with your singing, so I thought I'd video you all.  Share it with your mum and dad and tell us what they thought.  Don't forget to write your name at the end.



Tadpole Blues

Yesterday I had a body and a tail
A body and a tail, body and a tail
Yesterday I had a body and a tail
Today I've got two legs as well

What is happening to me
Whatever can it be
I'm not very happy and that's because
I liked the way I was

Well blow me down, it's happenin' again
Happenin' again, happenin' again
Blow me down, it's happenin' again
There's two legs growing at the front as well

What is happening to me
Whatever can it be
I'm not very happy and that's because
I liked the way I was

Uh oh, what's going on, my tail is getting shor-orter
Tail is getting shor-orter, tail is getting shor-orter
What's going on, my tail is getting shor-orter
It's going, going, gone - oh no

What is happening to me
Whatever can it be
I'm not very happy and that's because
I liked the way I was

Well now I'm a frog and I've more or less got used to it
More or less got used to it, more or less got used to it
But sometimes a tadpole swims up to have a quiet chat
And I know what he's going to say

What is happening to me
Whatever can it be
I'm not very happy and that's because
I liked the way I was

Now listen - it's really rather nice to be a frog
And live at the bottom of a bog
So don't be concerned or worry about a thing
Come on and sing-sing-sing

Lah-lah-la-la-la-la-la, Lah-lah-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-lah, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-lah-lah-lah
Lah-lah-la-la-la-la-la, Lah-lah-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-lah, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-lah-lah-lah
Lah-lah-la-la-la-la-la, Lah-lah-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-lah, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-lah-lah-lah [fade]

Holidays

Most valuable item of clothing....!
Wow!  What a wet holiday.  The most valuable item of clothing that I packed was my gumboots!  Yes gumboots, for a Christmas/New Year summer holiday.  At one point it rained for 62 hours in a row.... However, it was good fun and a good time to rest and get ready for a fabulous 2012 school year.  
What was your highlight?  And why was it your highlight.  Don't forget to put your name at the end.
My highlight was buying a new bike.  Isn't it a cool colour!
