After a year together!

Here's how we look after a year together .... not long now until the 12 December!!   We have grown in height and maturity and we've developed into a happy and caring team that is learning to accept one another's differences and we know that we are all important and valuable. We look forward to enjoying the next few weeks together ...... Arts festival, Christmas activities, special Assemblies, Dodgeball and saying farewell to Mrs Sleeman and our 32 Year 8 students.

Chocolate Brownies!

Thank you so much to Anne and her mum for baking Chocolate Brownies for Room 3 to celebrate Anne's birthday.  We enjoyed this yummy snack for morning tea ... lucky us!  A very happy birthday to Anne! We welcomed Anne's sister Bridget from Room 2 ... I'm sure Bridget helped with the Brownies too!

Mr Twit's beard is like a mouldy mushroom
hanging from the trees.
Inside his beard it's like a dirty, dead, abandoned 
and mysterious grave.
His beard smells like a disgusting, rotten and 
slimy egg sandwich.
His beard look like a yucky most filthy giant worm.
And when he eats his spaghetti the meatball sauce
gets sucked up into his beard.       ....  Ariana

The rainbow
The rainbow is here
So let's give some cheer
The birds that live there
Are always chirping about how to play fair .... 
Darragh

Mister Twit's beard smells like a toilet.
At night mice creep us his bed and eat the bitter rotten crumbs.
In the morning he drinks beer.
In the afternoon he sleeps.
Oh that mucky Mister Twit .... Scott

Mr Twit's Beard ....
Smells like unwashed socks
Looks like a curly roller coaster
Looks like a spider web that catches flies
Looks like pencil sharpeners
It's smushy like marshmallows
As prickly like a hedgehog
Gooey like honey
More smelly than a skunk  ... Isa

Rolly roller coaster
Loopy loopy do dizzle dazzle loop
Around dizzle dizzle dazzle circles
Loops, bash, stop, go
Dizzle loops circle
Bash! Bash! Clash! Bang!  ... Zoie

Fireworks
Boom, boom
Crackle, crackle
Bang, bang
Smoke
Boom, bang, boom bang
Crackle boom, crackle boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom, boom
It all stops   .....  Amy

Rainbow
As I view out my window I see a crystal
clear sky with a dazzle of colours on top of 
my eye.

It's a rainbow I glared
Give cheer because the rainbow is here.

As long as it goes as it dashes along the clouds
It gives me glee instead of a frown.

The rain has stopped
The sun took over
The sky is clear blue.    .... Giliet

Having a bath
Wish wish wash
Splash splash
Wish wash splashy
Boom Boom
Dip bip bip,
Out
Splash!     .... Ata

The rainbow shines
The rain has gone
The sky is blue
The world is new and sparkly too
I glanced up the sky
And saw a shiny rainbow
The colours sparkle in every colour
I am amazed by the rainbow
It reminds me of my friends  .... Marshelle

The rainstorm
Splashing dashing
All over the room
Look out a rainstorm
Tip tip
One rainstorm dropped
Look out look out
A lot of them are coming
AHHHH
Look out for another bigger one
OH NO!     ..... Ferlyn

Mr Twit's soaked beard
Mr Twit had a beard
Dirty like a sticky and old tack
That was the way Mr Twit like his beard
It was his favourite beard

When he was in his uncomfortable hut
He decided to fix his beard
With his extra nails

It felt good as new to blink at
The nails made it runny
Just like maple syrup     .....  Neo

Mr Twit's beard
makes kids scared
It smell like fish
Looking so ugly
It doesn't exist
Little pieces of crumbs on it
It smells like worms
It is prickly as a porcupine
Slimy stinky 
Yucky ugly crunchy
Prickly sluggy
Hairy skunky      .... Erika

(there'll be more)

Ms Twit's Beard
Ms Twit's beard is oh so weird!
It smells like rotten eggs.
If you go near you will pass out!
Make sure not to shout
Or the ants will scare off and rumble and tumble 
Into your knees.
Beware to go near!       .... Yezza

The hairy forest on Mr Twit's face
Mr Twit's beard
Brown as chocolate
Gooey as slime
Spiky like thorns and needles
Stinky as a garbage truck
Icky Slimy Smelly
Icky like a slug
Smelly like sewer
Slimy like snail trails
Thick like sand        .... Giliet

Mr Twit's beard is slimy, slurry, sluggery
It even has dried weet-bix 
Like if it was a messy room
You could even smell his beard
From 205 kilometres away
It smells like sweat and mixed up vomit .... Tanaki

Gross, stinky, smelly
His beard smells like smelly socks
It's mucky like mud
And mushy like marshmallows
It's fluffy like a cat
Sticky like honey
Mr Twit has a beard      .... Sjahn

Mr Twit's beard
It's a slimy beard
He has his lunch in it
Garbage, grass 
Dead flowers, swamp water
Cement, mossy bananas
Rotten strawberries
Cat fur balls and his brothers garbage .... Rachel
